They both claim to be from Canada now. Desertranger, No. Epigone and I are definitely not the same person. If that were true, then how come him and I don't have the same IP address? The poor man- if he is a man- actually REALLY believes that he is some sort of secret agent or counterintelligence agent! Now think about it seriously- if he really were an intelligence agent- would he be using an internet medium that is only as sophisticated as a mere internet forum where most of the posters are just defense enthusiasts and not in the actual military (though there may be a few exceptions, he is not one of them simply because one can tell that from the way he posts) or defense/security industry? Anyways, Epigone is too much of a nut to be taken seriously and what he posts here on PDFF isn't always coherent or consistent, though many of us here at PDFF apparently find some of it outlandishly funny at his expense. ANYWAYS FOLKS, let's get back on topic!

Interviewed on ANC's Talkbalk with Tina Palma, the graduates said they want to share what they learned in the United States to their fellow Filipino soldiers. One of the officers, Army Second Lieutenant Christy Achanzar, is the first female PMA cadet to graduate from West Point.

Well, if you took your plebehood at the PMA and eventually passed the exams at West Point, then you have to serve the AFP, but if you're a FILAM who grew up in the US, took and passed the exams at West Point, then you have to serve the US Army after graduation.

I think she deserves to be congratulated, as well as any of her classmates. There is nothing extra special about her being the first female grad of USMA, many females have already graduated from USMA since 1980, and many Filipinos have also done the same thing.

What if those Fil-Am West Point graduates or even former U.S. Navy/Army Fil-Ams come to the Philippines and served in the AFP,would they be immediately promoted as Generals?

Of course not! Be logical here! Besides, I don't think that they will be allowed to serve with a dual citizenship.

Shouldn't there be rules regarding the sensibility of posts? I mean. i respect that this forum is open for discussion regarding anything at all related to the defense establishment, but come on, stupid posts such as this one should be banned or deleted.

Trainee Posts: 66 Group: Regulars Member #196 Joined: November 3, 2004	Correction! they can recruit FILIPINO-AMERICAN SOLDIERS for West Point and it means they resides within US territory..The USMA can only recruit a FILIPINO SOLDIER that came from PMA ONLY... The filipino soldier can only chose NAVY or ARMY.Westpoint won't recruit from PMMA,they are not capable to their standards.
