SGM Dream Retirement job

My former school, Virginia Military Institute aka VMI's Corp of keydets (yes its keydets not cadets) SGM is retiring June 1, 2018. SGM John Neel is looking for his replacement. IMHO this is dream gig. Small town Lexington, get to yell at college freshman and most likely walk to work. SGM Neel was very involved with the VMI Shooting Programs including the VMI Combat Shooting Team https://www.facebook.com/vmi3gun, Shotgun team, and small bore rifle team etc. I believe you must have retired as a SGM to be considered. If you have questions about the school I'll be happy to provide the little insight I can. PM me and I'll give you my phone number.

SGM Neel Can be reached at neeljl@vmi.edu or at 540 464 7706.

Why would this be considered a "dream job"?
Because of this?

Maybe you have to be an outdoorsman to understand. The Maury river runs directly behind barracks and is a stocked Trout river. Lots of hunting down in Lexington.

I'd think a SGM might get to yellin' if one insults his alma mater, like Auburn.

When he was an E8, he took pity on this cherry PFC trying to find a PRC-E8. Not sure how my SL faired in that one
