Gentlemen, let's not forget that every bit of administrative or instructional training that occurs within the ACWGC is done by volunteers ! No one is paid for their personal time and no one is ordered about to do anything! I cannot speak for the C.S.A. side of the club, but the U.S.A. side of the cl... |

There seems to be something of a mistaken impression about the ACWGC's academies and what they were/are intended to accomplish. The Club Rules offer the following. 2.3 Training.

I'm going through Freeman's Lee's Lieutenants for about the 6th or 7th time. Seems like I have to do this every 10 years or so. I enjoy the series immensely and avidly recount the fortunes of the ANV through his eyes as a historian. But on occasion I run across portions of his story that leave me sc... |

South Carolina mash, indeed! You see what happens every time an old rebel dog decides to come limping back? He's immediately plied with slaps on the back, raucous cheering and all the liquor he can handle. Its as if they don't want him to see the utter folly of his decision to become part of the fin... |
