The AF couldn’t decide how to do assignments back in the ‘70s. In our class, the #1 graduate chose from the drop, then #2, etc.
But then some General (SAC) beefed about always getting the bottom guys, so they reserved an assorted drop just for the bottom 10%. But then some students realized that it might be smart to deliberately fall into that briar patch. So then they partially randomized the system, which provoked howls from all directions.....
