European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - February 27, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday february 27, 1987 the stars and stripes Page 11 letter naval Academy recruiting policy clarified i have to ask he question what is going on at he . Naval Academy i am referring to ils athletic recruiting policies. First we Sec Napoleon Mccallum who seems to treat his military obligation and commission As a part time duty thai detracts from his real aspirations to be a  football player. Tolj it a poor statement on the Navy s ability to motivate its Cream of the crop midshipmen but at least Ensign Mccallum can serve unrestricted duty. Now 1 read that the Navy has recruited a Young Man Dave Rob inso who at 7-fcct-l is too tall for unrestricted  at a Lime of Gramm Rudman budget cuts and various types of troop strength ceilings the Navy recruit i a person who from the very beginning it must have known or at least suspected was Loo tall for unrestricted duly. So we arc left with inc deduction thai the faculty and student body of the . Naval Academy must have subordinated ill primary Mission for Short term athletic program goals. I am sure that midshipman Robinson is a Fine Young Man and i am just As sure that his presence at Annapolis makes a definite contribution to the school s morale and recruiting but i feel their priorities arc misplaced if they pursue this Type of recruiting policy. Cape Jerry d. Brown hello Nikon a Greece editor s note cmdr. Ste phen h. Claw we Public affairs offi cer is naval Academy replies please consider the following the usual maximum height for entering midshipmen is 78 inches or 6-Lee -6. How err Walden for height As Well � weight Era than perfect eyesight and some other conditions May be granted by the Nail Acac t. My admissions Board to a limited number of candidate with exception Al record and potential As midship men and Naral officers. When Darid Robinson applied to the naval Academy he was 6 Fel to. He bad a Superior record in academics and extracurricular activities although Only one year at organized team basketball. He knew nary life from his father experiences As a Carter nary Man and David strongly desired to be naval officer. Nit one could Hare known or predicted in july 1983, when Rob Inson entered the naval Academy that he would grow six More inches by the Start of his senior year Al 7-Lecl-l, he is the tallest mid Shipman Ever enrolled at the naval Academy. Because Robinson s height makes him not physically qualified for commission As an unrestricted line officer the Secretary of the Navy decided that he can make his greatest contribution As an officer in the naval Reserve. Upon graduation in May. Robinson will be commissioned As an Ensign and civil Engineer corps officer in the naval Reserve. He will serve his initial two years on Active duty Fol Lowed by four years in a drilling Reserve status. The staff and faculty of he naval Academy Are fully committed to one purpose expressed by our Mission to prepare mid Shipmen morally mentally and physically to be professional offi cers in the naval service crr David Robinson method offered for handling islamic jihad a letter i d like to Kab from he president of the United states to the islamic jihad sirs we have called together our great holy men mostly Baptist Sand he consensus is that your concept of jihad is not without Merit.
