Umm, because they are the military? Just wondering where did you read this Larry?
My understanding was that they had to provide access and that's about it. -- Tim Heald [EMAIL PROTECTED] 703-300-3911 -----Original Message----- From: Larry C.

I object to the universities being required to pay for the "privilege." According to what I've read universities are required to provide a degree of admin support well beyond what corporate recruiters get. Let the military pay for their own utilities, secretaries and copy paper. Why should they get a free ride. larry On 3/7/06, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Larry C.
