Happy Cadets - An Online Comic By Cadet Cooper

Life moves on... we'll hold the torch down here, wait for us up there...
STS-107 -1 Feb 03-

Sorry for the crappy drawing and coloring, but I just needed to get this over with.

"Happy Cadets" is a autobiographical comic strip based on my new life in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. Taken from a quote from C/Col Davenport, Cadet Wing Commander (Fall 2002 semester), the title refers to how enthusiastic and determined cadets are happy cadets who become happy second lieutenants... seems to me that "happy second lieutenant" would almost be a contradiction in terms...

I mean, c'mon people, use some common sense here. I'm a cadet with a webcomic, not the Pentagon's Public Affairs Officer. Jeebus H Hyskos, some people take stuff way too seriously.
