Rich asked Ted Russ:

A comment rather than a question? - In Spirit Mission, you refer to an honor scandal affecting the class of 1976. The honor scandal actually involved the class of 1977. The investigations began after spring break in 1976 so that is probably the source of the confusion. While the scandal is not a source of pride for the class of 1977, we do own it and I don't want another class to be unfairly tarnished by it.

Ted Russ Thanks for the note, Rich. You are actually the second Old Grad to point this out to me. I'm trying to get this corrected in future editions of the text. I wish I had been more precise. I appreciate you calling it out.

Pamplona Pluto asked Ted Russ:

Looks like a good read but why put not put a real helicopter like the OH-58 on the front?

Rich asked Ted Russ:

In Spirit Mission there was a significant feud between E4 and F4. Was that an actual issue when you were at West Point or were the companies changed to protect the innocent? I was in F4 in the mid-70s and I thought of E4 as a kindred spirit.
