Todd Branchflower was one of my Lean LaunchPad students entrepreneurial enough to convince the Air Force send him to Stanford to get his graduate engineering degree. The next military college was the Naval Academy in Annapolis Maryland, set up in 1845 to train Navy officers. The Lean LaunchPad class may find a place in the military.
