Thought this story on former Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs would be of some interest – it’s a well written story, and also says he’ll coach at the prep school in the fall. Know that’s a fun topic for everyone here. Enjoy.

I have been with the The Gazette since 2006 and began covering Air Force athletics in the fall of 2012. While with The Gazette I've jumped from layout & design to covering the Sky Sox to spending several years overseeing our high school sports coverage. I've written for newspapers at the University of Kansas, St. Joseph, Mo., and Maui. (By the way, one of those things is not like the other) At home, my wife, Jennifer, and I have three young daughters, ranging in age from 3 1/2 to 8 months. As you might imagine, sleep is scarce, so please forgive a typo or two. Follow me on twitter @BrentBriggeman

Where are the navy haters at now? They have plenty of Junk to talk about Ben Garland taking a year to coach, what about Dobbs? Where are the firery comments?
Garland will be at the Air Force Academy for three years, doing a “job” that has nothing to do with his supposed career path. Dobbs will be at the prep school for a semester. And his assignment is not unique to athletes; just about everyone who graduates from USNA has some sort of a stash job at USNA or the prep school for a few months while they wait for their billets to open up in their follow-on schools or operational units.
The article states Dobbs will go to an operational assignment following one semester at the Prep School. Same thing happens with the West Point athletes – you don’t see that happening too often with the Air Force athletes who are assigned as grad assts – meaning follow-on to an operational assignment. That’s not a knock against Air FOrce – it’s a different service and those currently or in the past that have served understand that fact.
PPX you obviously dont know what you are talking about with regards to Ben Garland he wont be at the Academy for three years, so how about before you comment on things you dont completely know about you make sure you know what you are talking about.

You were saying?
I was saying…that you don’t know what you are talking about. Just wait, you will see. I am really holding back things I really want to say to you. And don’t you have a job or something? Do something with your life no one cares about your two cents about ONE person out of thousands being release, actually not even being released, from duty to full fill their life time dream. You are probably just one of those people who wishes they had what Ben Garland has.
It seems your issue is not with me but with Schwab. Take it up with him if you disagree that “Garland’s assignment is for three years” as he reported. In the meantime I will contemplate all the things you are holding back.
