MEMBERSHIP -- Not for Every Grad and Thats OK

We have over 1700 African-American grads out there. How many can we really expect to join USAFA WOL Alumni? Some grads avoided the cadet WLC while at the Academy. It was a personal choice and there was no right or wrong decision about joining. The same holds true today although I think the core objectives of this alumni group makes it lots easier to support. I mean with more than just moral support. I mean JOINING. Also, our grads are doing amazing things. Many are already involved in service organizations and are just tapped out. Be careful not to judge. If a grad has not or chooses not to join WOL, respect their choice.

An active duty AF captain asked me about field grade and senior officers? He wanted to know if any Colonels and Generals were supportive enough to actually join as full members? How many would actually join? Is it fair to expect them to join officially? Is it politically correct to support the mission but avoid membership.
Those were tough questions. How would you answer them?
