The Harvard grad in my squadron graduated with honors (in English), but...

...was unable to write a simple article for the people back home to let them know what we were doing. Not an abstract degree like Greek mythology, but he had a freaking English degree...from Harvard. I guess he must have skipped all of his English composition classes. His flying was just bad, thus he was asked to "voluntarily" give up his wings. It was either that, or he was going to be dragged in front of a FNAEB board to have them forcibly taken. Thankfully he stopped flying before any fatalities occurred. (Not kidding.)
