That was "The Steve Belichick service to your country" pick
Usually it's 2-3 years active then you go into the reserves and have to pay back a portion of your education cost:wibi said:

So I would doubt Cardona is on this team for at least 2 years.
How did it work with David Robinson, I forget? Did he serve two years and then start his bball career?
The just trade the rest of the picks for 2016s if you can. It is clear Pats are bored. Nobody drafts in the 5th for somebody not available for years unless you have the system games or you are Riger fucking Staubach.
Trade out or draft guys who are hurt and project well.

Cardona is required to serve 5 years in Navy and is set to be commissioned this month. We'll see if he can get a waiver to play football now

It's entirely possible to me that they think the dropoff to the #2 LS isn't worth losing him but the dropoff at other positions (from Ekpre-Olomu to Peters or Roberts or Shepherd) isn't a big deal.( . ) ( . ) and (_!_) said:
This is all about hidden yardage & preventing turnovers.
Aiken was shaky all last year and Ryan "The Puntator" Allen saved his ass more than a few times. Accurate & fast snaps mean the punts get off on time and Slater & Co. will have an even better opportunity to lock down the return game.

I know the 2007 DOD directive allows you to apply to move to the reserves after 24 months (you don't always get it. Kettani on the Jags served 3 years, Mitch Harris of the St Louis Cardinals served almost the full 5). There might be a new special dispensation but I can't find anyone who has gotten one.

"Linebacker Matthew Wells, at 222 pounds, ran impressive 40-yard dash times of 4.44 and 4.46 seconds, along with a 4.26 20-yard shuttle time."
A guy to play special teams and maybe be 4th or 5th on the off the line LB depth chart. That actually fills somewhat of a need. Or he'll go to the PS.
From PFF: Patriots' LB Matthew Wells on the right, compared to Shaq Thompson. Wells was impressive in coverage, great in space.

And what evidence do you have to support that?
Who BB's dad was has nothing to do with how the military determines to allocate its' assets.
Morgan's Magic Snowplow said:
Strike that last. Reports are he is small for a DT and only really fits in a 4-3 scheme. Not sure why the pros had him ranked so high if thats the case
Name me the last service academy athlete who got off the hook for his service obligation and did not have a health problem.TheShynessClinic said:
You have a high profile team that people are envious of, believe cuts corners, and are out to get. The chief alleged corner cutter's dad coached at the Academy. If the appropriate congressional committee chairman asks someone at the Pentagon (responsible for this decision) what time he or she last took a shit, that decision maker has to answer.
You think he'll be in anything other than a navy or marine corps uniform this Sept, God love you.
He had a groin injury last season that lingered through the combine where he didn't participate.wibi said:
At his pro-day he still hadn't put on any weight. He ran a mediocre to slow 40 for his size, then on his second attempt hurt his hamstring and had to shut it down.
Name me the last non-injured service academy athlete who was given a complete pass on his or her service obligation. Name and year. Other than people cut free after they were hurtwibi said:
Two years of service with a continuing reserve obligation has been done a few times, if I recall.
Who has been sprung entirely?
Edit. DOD directive in 2008. You can apply for early release after two years of service. If granted, you have continuing reserve obligation and must repay a portion of your education.
Anything more recent than that?

Only after you name me when the last time an elected official cares about the micro workings of DoD personnel decisions.
The answer is that neither of us can truly answer that question because neither has ever happened.
I didnt have an argument about your two year commitment comment but your idea of how DoD personnel decisions are made is laughable and insulting. Thats what earned you the STFU comment.
