Tradition
It's been more than three years now and the tradition appears to be continuing without abatement:
This has got to be frustrating as hell for all of those stiff-necked slick-pocket, non-combatant REMFs that manage the Academy. There lurks in the cemetery the ghost of a warrior and on any given day repeated testimonials that the spirit of the man lives on. Cadets, I am sure, know of this and I hope they visit and contemplate what it means.

I never met General Olds, but I did speak to him over the phone once. Probably the greatest thrill I had up to that point. Still ranks up there.
Hell yeah!
I don't know the Air Force but I know the sentiment. Me and my buds visited one of our old shipmates in Arlington a few years back and did the same thing. And our friend's grave wasn't nearly the only one with booze and cigarettes left by the headstone either. Damned straight.
REMF's???Just tell me what the RE part stands for--I can guess the MF
Not to be premature RAZ but where are we going to put you? I need to know where to through my nickels. You ass needs saving! Wolf Pack Jack

Ashes to Arlington. I want the whole shebang! Caisson, horses, honor guard, salute and a damned nice flag.
Along with a party right? And yes I bought the Olds book, 110% awesome.
Verification word - fortions. sounds like something from Duck Dodgers.
