Or else perhaps (quoting from the article):
"...he was intent on breaking every USNA regulation in our 4 inch thick USNA
Regulations book. And I believe he must have come as close to his goal as any
midshipman who ever attended the Academy...."
"...In fact he barely managed to graduate, standing 5th from the bottom of his
800 man graduating class. I and many others have speculated that the main reason
he did graduate was because his father was an Admiral, and also his grandfather,
both U.S. Naval Academy graduates...."
"...I can verify that John has an infamous reputation for being a hot head. He
has a quick and explosive temper that many have experienced first hand. Folks,
quite honestly that is not the finger I want next to that red button...."
