Help?

So the point arises that Jack would have gone to college. He would have to have a degree to be an officer and would have had to be an officer before he could become a pilot. So he either went to school before he enlisted, which could be anywhere. Or went to the Academy. Anybody know if canon says anything about this? Wikipedia and Gateworld were unhelpful.

I'm thinking somewhere else. Pretty hard to get into the Academy.

Heh. Maybe he was a Golden Gopher. *snickers*

Of course I don't buy into dumb!Jack! :) The Academy is freakin' hard to crack, though, and while I don't think Jack is dumb, I also don't imagine he was the kind of elite student to crack Academy admissions. On the other hand, he did pass the pilot's exam, which is also freakin' hard to do...

Aeronautical Engineering is of course an obvious choice for someone planning to take the pilot's exam. That would limit where he could have gone to school pretty severely.

Still, the idea of Jack as a Golden Gopher has huge appeal. :)

Er, I'm picturing you picturing Jack as working as the GG mascot while at school. Which leads me to furry kink, which leads me to screaming my head off. ;-)
