As of this week, the U.S. Naval Academy was out in front with a 40 percent increase in applications compared with last year. Annapolis received about 15,300 applications for about 1,230 positions — the highest number of applications the academy has received since 1988.

Terrible… hundreds of new right-wing nut cases waiting to hatch. Boo. :)
