I just noticed that the APUS logo (the one with the combined logos of American Public University, American Military University and American Community College), in the upper left hand corner of the APUS home page, is a peace sign. www.apus.edu No conspiracy theory here, but it did make me think of a scene in Full Metal Jacket: "Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armour? Joker: A peace symbol sir. Colonel: Where'd you get it? Joker: I don't remember sir. Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet? Joker: "Born to Kill" sir. Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on you helmet, and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke? Joker: No, sir. Colonel: Well what is it supposed to mean? Joker: I don't know, sir. Colonel: You don't know very much do you? Joker: No sir. Colonel: You better get your head and your ass wired together or I will take a giant shit on you. Joker: Yes sir. Colonel: Now answer my question, or you'll be standing tall before The Man. Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man sir. Colonel: The what? Joker: The duality of man, the Jungian thing, sir. Colonel: Who's side are you on, son? Joker: Our side, sir. Colonel: Don't you love your country? Joker: Yes, sir. Colonel: Well how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and c'mon in for the big win? Joker: Yes, sir. Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my Marines is for them to obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese because inside every gook, there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've got to try to keep our heads until this peace craze blows over. Joker: Aye aye, sir." http://www.moviesounds.com/fmj.html There is no reference to the "American Public University System" on my diploma or official transcript. However, my SMART (Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript) now states my degree was awarded by the "American Public University System." I liked it better when it just said "American Military University."
Is that like a public toilet. The day is coming, once I get some other things out of the way, when I would like to enroll in their MA in Land Warfare. I really don't want anything to say American Public University System.
Uh, that's not a peace sign, it's the Mercedes-Benz symbol (perhaps the reason they changed their name?)!
Yep M-B not peace. peace was oginally concieved as a broken cross so there is an up right leg and two sides members angling down. The APUS splits the circle into thirds, definetly M-B.
