Hey if they can't get a flying job at least they'll be able to use that picture for their "boy band" CD insert.

Just found out today 3 of the 5 guys were on military scholarships. One Navy and two Air Force. All 3 have already lost their scholarships and been discharged from the military. No word yet though on expulsion from the university.

Obviously there was no thought of consequences before this took place. Its going to be a life changing event now, and it has already become a career ender for 3 of them.

All of them are on the same fraternity. So Im assuming it was a Frat Prank or Dare. Also most people on campus are talking about it, and how bunch of *insert* they are... As for Riddle more bad press, I know alot of haters outthere are having a field day with this. But is alright, we got a big hating group.

The congo river mini golf place is just about the best mini golf course I've ever been to. I suggest you check it out if you have an hour to spare in Daytona. Oh, and there are a lot of alligators in that tank and fish with very big teeth. Anyone dumb enough to go in there doesn't need to be walking the streets let alone flying an airplane.

I did one or two similar things at that age (my escape plan worked better, though). Less tolerance for good old-fashioned fun these days, especially in the military

I was thinking the same thing! First you have to climb over a 5 foot fence that is made of netting. Then you have to somehow climb down it, and I wouldnt trust the netting to hold a 100lbs person. If you fall into that little tank you are going to land on a stack of gators that are so crammed in there they are basically laying one on top of another. It is probably 25 gators laying in an area the size of a queen size bed.

I was just thinking this morning that those kids are lucky they got arrested before they went into that tank. Those gators might be 3 feet long, but there are too many gators crammed into one tiny little area. The gators would win.

That's called natural selection at its finest.

Not to sound dumb but every last one of us has done some stupid **** in the past. Most of it we get away with. Now I understand, we can't use drugs, and we have to walk a bit of a line in this but don't you think that a prank, nobody got hurt or endangered anyone, desereves a bit of a break?
