That's interesting. The two best managers I ever had were Air Force and Naval academy graduates. Maybe the snobbiness disappears in the private sector.

In the private sector it is not a differentiation that means much.

Probably more evident in the services themselves, like inside the officer's mess/wardroom and what not. Also probably better than run-of-the-mill civvie managers used to far less stressful workloads by comparison.

Was the Air Force academy dude/gal super-religious?

The guy didn't give off that vibe. He worked so hard to get the little branch I helped start up really get going. There was a lot of chaos going on in our business during those years, but he was always so squared away and positive. A total pro.

Ask him about religiosity at the academy sometime, you'll probably hear stories.
