Son el horgullo de su pais, los felisito
Got accepted into VMI with my twin brother💪
Saving 2nd LT Ogrydziak
Firstly, please let an old cavalry corporal offer his respects to the entire Ogrydcziak family. Mom and Dad, you done good.
But I do have a question....
As I understand it, each Congressman and Senator can appoint one qualified applicant to each Academy [West Point, Annapolis, Colorado Springs, and New London (USCG Academy) ]. So did these young men completely blow away every other applicant for their appointment year? As the story says, this is highly unusual.
The mother and father are former Coast Guard, which means the Ogrydcziak brothers were eligible for service-connected nominations, such as the presidential nomination (I believe there are around 400 of these per year). The brothers at the very least pursued, and likely received, these types of nominations. Additionally, congresspeople don’t appointment applicants, instead they rank and nominate a slate of applicants, often up to 10 for each academy. The Academies then have final say about which nominees are offered appointment, but each congressperson is limited to 5 concurrent cadets per academy, meaning that for the most part only one, or sometimes two, of the nominated slate are offered appointment. As such, it’s highly unlikely that all three brothers were accepted on congressional nominations, (assuming they applied from the same district). Also, the Coast Gaurd academy does not require nomination, but the Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) does.

@@valentinshatilenko7404 Thanks for the input, VS.
I certainly wasn't trying to imply that the nominations are rigged. Back in the early 80's, two twin brothers from my rural high school were appointed [one to the Point, the other to Annapolis], so I know that this can happen. But I was curious as to how it works.
Good luck to you in your Army career and, whether you succeed in your ambitions or not, thanks for your time.
What does the colour on the hat at the end mean, I see one blue and two red barred hats.
The colored band on the service cap indicates branch of service. For instance, teal blue is infantry. From his lapel insignia, 1 of the young men with a red band is definitely Corps of Engineers (sappers). I can't be sure, but that blue seems to be aviation.
The one with the darker band is in the medical corps.
@@eliduttman315 from left to right: army nurse corps (i think I saw an N on the badge), signal, engineer
But i wonder if it's just me or do both cap stripes have the same red/white stripe? Signal should be orange? Engineers are red and what looks like purple ist deep maroon red.
@@TheKeks1980 Red stripe means he's future Red-Shirt with the Away-Team. So expect a very short career...
Why did his father who is a captain salute him?
It's part of the first salute tradition. It doesn't matter the rank. The newly commissioned officer receives his first salute and salutes back. It is however traditional fo the higher ranking officer to say "Welcome to....." if the first salute is rendered by a higher rank.
first salute can't be higher rank or officers. Only NCOs
Jerry Yan Please show me the regulation on this............Because I call complete BS on it. The "first salute" is to any rank the newly Commissioned Officer chooses. When a newly commissioned officer choses to use their first salute to a higher rank. The higher rank will salute first and say, "Welcome to the......." or "Welcome to the Officer Corps." Then the lower rank will salute back to the higher rank. This happens QUITE OFTEN after the commissioning ceremony. Since most military families, especially the ones at West Point, have fathers and mothers who were/are Field Grade or General Officers. I know for a FACT that even President Bush accepted the offer of first salute to a few West Point grads in 2002, 2003, and 2004. The former President saluted first, then the 2LTs saluted back. Considering the President of the USA is the "Commander in Chief" and saluted a 2LT first. This clearly isn't a regulation or even a tradition that it MUST be an NCO who salutes the newly commissioned officer.
Cuz there's a hierarchy Marines on top then army, navy, air force then coast guard at the bottom (it's a joke so chill the f out if ur offended )
@Chin Brumback cuz someone can't take humors
Anybody know what they branched?

You're being a troll! Again.
Amen Praise The Lord God Bless Them Abundantly Thank You For Your Services Praying In Jesus Name Amen
Do you have to be army to atend?
You are required to serve for 5 years in the Army.
It's actually a total of 8 years. 5 years of which are required to be Active Duty and another 3 years of which are on Inactive Ready Reserve Status. However, many IRR Soldiers were called back at the beginning of the current conflict. Since 2003 many more were involuntarily extended to 8 years while still on Active Duty. If you are on IRR and called back you are required to serve at least another 3 years to fulfill the total 8 year obligation. It could be the last day of IRR, doesn't matter, three more years active duty.
Anyone else think the Coast Guard uniform can't make up it's mind between Air Force and Navy?
Enter OCPs
They didn't graduate West Point. The graduated *from* West Point.

Why are they not as snappy as in other military academies around the world?
Wtf he dropped his salute
King Ausar II he's being saluted, he's supposed to drop it first
He's the one being saluted, so he drops first
And I am sure they were educated well enough to know they did not "graduate West Point" as opposed to graduating from West Point.
All that dedication just to go and serve the military industrial complex and then be abused by the VA.
first
Free schooling, eh
Only if you qualify and can live through 4 years of some of the toughest military training and are willing to sign the blank check for an amount up to and including your life for at least another 5 after that. Any takers?
Mike Rankin
i hv a dozen members of our clan admitted in military academy. it is surprising, they did not encouraged their kids to take the admission exams. they reasoned out the four year military schooling is a training ground to those who are intrested to become a professional sadist.
He messed up the salute!! Get down, get down down down give me 50. Supposed to wait for the superior officer to drop salute first.
Its a first salute he drops the salute in this one instance the superior officer doesn't drop first.
Ugh!
Just remember to split them up for our governments illegal wars, so they don't all die together like happened to those brothers in the civil war and WW2.
@all around mm begone. this comment actually makes me cringe.
