He graduated from the academy and served a tour or two in Viet Nam, on a Navy patrol boat. He patrolled the rivers, he finished his obligation and then became the best QB Dallas has ever had.

I am sorry that Mizzou lost..... but NAVY is my TEAM. The cadets are obligated to serve as a officer upon graduation and are there fore not "eligible" for the NFL. It is sad that this is how it works. A year or so ago there was a cadet from AIR FORCE who did get to go to the combine, I do not think he fared very well. JohnNdallas

Guess ya can't blame em, Sucks though! Some of the finest young men in our country go through the Academies, be nice to see some of those guys get paid too. Too few young people choose to serve, if every Mothers Child had to serve things would be different. As it is now, there are too few doing the work of too many.
