CHARLESTON, S.C. — Fresh off an historic upset over the South Carolina Gamecocks, The Citadel managed yet another surprise this year by beating a dead horse.
In developments that shocked literally dozens of people around the country, cadets at one of the nation's oldest senior military colleges were photographed “embracing their school's heritage of 'hoods not hate,'” according to defenders. This spells trouble for the thousands of active duty and reserve military officers and enlisted servicemen who have graduated from The Citadel.
Capt. Ray Farlow, a 2008 graduate of The Citadel, admits that the actions of these cadets have had real impact on his plans to separate from the Army early next year.
“I've been preparing for the job search, and I've just been racking my brain all day, trying to figure out how to remove 'The Citadel' from my resume without attracting attention,” Farlow explained. Other alumni have had similar difficulties.
