Out. 8 years military officer with good MA and BA GPAs hoping to start a non-profit to improve social equality (which I can still do). Oh well, not really the best place for my family.
Any Conservatives get admitted?
Well said LTT. I have come to the same conclusion over the past couple of months as well.

I find it comforting that there are others wrestling with the same thoughts that I am. It's hard to think that there wouldn't be any cross-talk between fellowship boards and Adcom.
