Rick Grant (20th Company) has offered to provide a presentation to the Class of 1966 regarding one of the current topics of interest: basis for/against attacks on drug boats in the Caribbean etc. Rick proposes to draw upon his prior experience with these issues from when he served as the head of the NCIS in his pre retirement years. … He would do this on the ZOOM session for Tuesday 4 Nov 1400. 

In addition, and if of interest, he would follow this up with some observations from his 20+ years as being part of the Florida Military Academy Selection Boards. Based upon this extensive time interviewing Florida High Schoolers Competing for Service Academy Appointments, he proposes to provide some possibly useful insights into the process, at least that in Florida. This offers not only a broad perspective on that process, Rick’s comments might provide assistance to those who have grandchildren ( great grandchildren) seeking appointments. 

If you are a 66-Classmate, wife or widow, new to the Class Zooms and would like to participate, Click HERE for details.

ZOOM session Tuesday 4 Nov 1400 EST
