Currently a Senior at the Citadel. Can’t wait to get the ring. Was a wild ride and I’m looking forward to coming back years from now for nostalgia (If the school’s still a thing years from now). Respect to you from being Hotel Hell, even now it’s a menace company. Can’t imagine how bad it was in old corp.

Thanks for watching! First, let me congratulate you on receiving The Ring in just a few weeks. It is one of the many moments in life you will never forget. I still remember taking my seat in Summerall Chapel and opening that box. They served a steak dinner with wine and cigars in the mess hall that night - not sure if they still do that. Tradition was to run back and smash our wine glasses on the Company Letter. The next tradition was to take an underclassman whom you respected and press the ring deep into their forehead leaving a sweet imprint for them to cherish. And yes, I can tell stories of Old Corps Hotel Hell that I doubt anyone but my classmates would believe. Enjoy your senior year - May 2025 will be here soon enough...

Enjoyed your video. As a Knob, I got an overnight for parent's weekend. I could not go back for my 50th because my father was dying, and I could not leave him. You should try Lewis Barbecue the next time you get to Charleston. My grandson graduated in 23 M '68

Thanks for watching! Yes, as I look back on it now we did get an Overnight on Parent's Weekend. My parents took me to dinner at The Trawler on Shem Creek and it was so nice to be away - even if for just one night. My brother is the Professor of Military Science at The Citadel so we will definitely be back and check out your BBQ recommendation.

Thanks for watching! Your comment made our entire day (maybe even our entire week). Your son has embarked on an amazing journey and it will be tough - but it will be absolutely worth it. I hope you will get down there as often as you can while he is a knob but most importantly, in October of 2027, when he gets his Class of '28 Ring...

Do the barracks rooms get better as you go from freshmen to senior?

@LuvSubbin 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! The rooms do not get better as one moves from a freshman to a senior (with the exception of the Battalion and Regimental Commanders and their XO's whom get really sweet, huge rooms). The major "perk" of being a senior (at least when I was there) was that seniors are allowed to arrange the furniture however they want. This usually means the instant disassembly of the bunk beds and segregating the desks so that one has more privacy when studying. I graduated in 1988 so another senior perk was having a TV. With modern cell phones and WiFi I'm not sure what the rules are now. Other 80's era room perks was that 2nd semester freshman were issued a telephone (no more phone booths to call mom and dad) and sophomores/juniors were allowed a radio. Times I'm sure have changed...

Till this day, I have haunting memories of his raspy, gruff voice whether calling cadence or yelling -- always admired him for that (oddly, lol). His successful military career is a testament to the GREAT leader that he is. Thank you for your response and for letting me know!😊

WHY are you saying the dorm room is "SUPER NICE"? It's arguably the WORST and SMALLEST dorm room I've EVER seen, and is a DUMP compared to what you would find at the Naval Academy or West Point

Thanks for watching and I'm sorry you disagree with my assessment which I stand by. Regarding USMA or USNA, I will totally agree with you. In fact, I'll go a step beyond and say that every single one of their facilities is better than The Citadel's. The DoD has a pretty decent budget compared to a state college...

I changed majors, at end of 1st semester knob year, having failed half of my EE courses (Changed to Jewish Engineering, in Bond Hall) and was thrown off a semester. I took two classes, that last semester…..Cost Accounting, with Col Whitney and Auditing with Cpt. Healey. Passed both; completed my credits, received a letter from Gen. Grimsley attesting to same; drove home, with no job, no prospects, no idea what I was going to do and a profound feeling that, although I just earned a Business Degree, I didn’t really know how to do anything!
