Squeaky wheel
Airman, July, 2004 by Joe Page, II
I'm curious why the March 2004 issue dedicated eight pages and a cover to the Air Force Academy? Why continue to focus on this embarrassment to the Air Force? By your records ["The Book," January 2004] only 19 percent of officers come from the academy.
Being an avid reader for many years, I don't recall any significant number of pages dedicated to Officer Training School or ROTC. Your selective reporting gives credence to the axiom "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." By a strictly financial viewpoint, OTS and ROTC grads provide 'more bang for the buck' than academy grads, whose problems are a waste of taxpayer's dollars and column space in Airman magazine.
