SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii – Fellow soldiers tell Duffel Blog that obtaining a master’s degree at the prestigious Stanford University has turned Army Capt. Brian Dexter into an 'academicky douchebag.'

Dexter, currently the S3 of 525th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, attended Stanford University through the Army’s Advanced Civil Schooling (ACS) program following his company command of 525th CSSB’s headquarters company.

Dexter was encouraged to obtain a master's degree through ACS by his battalion commander, Lt. Col. Johann Milnes, a graduate of the prestigious Georgetown University master's degree program. Milnes thought the Stanford program would present the opportunity for Dexter to improve his knowledge base as an Army leader and broaden his perspectives on important national security issues prior to assuming increasingly important positions throughout his Army career.

The young company grade officer instead devoted most of his time at Stanford taking classes that had little or nothing to do with the profession of arms.
