Spelling/grammar fix(es). 'Alumni' is the plural, not the singular; also, 'former alumnus' would be a tautology — an alumnus, by definition, is a graduate, a former member.

* BeingGoodSucks: Some DummiedOut post-game content reveals that Col. Moore is picked over him for a promotion in the NCR ending due to, depending on how one interprets what would have been said, her aggressive kill-'em-all tactics or Hsu being far less willing to take credit for things being better than what the brass thought it would be. Of course, it is DummiedOut, so the canonicity of this remains uncertain.
-->'''Moore''': The brass was particularly surprised by the lack of domestic threats in the area. They were prepared to spend months pacifying known troublemakers. When they found those threats absent, they turned to the man in charge of the area, but Hsu being Hsu, he denied having anything to do with it. So now the men have to answer to Brigadier General Moore, and both they and I have you to thank for it.
** During the game you hear opinions that he would likely be the best person to be leading the NCR military in the region over General Oliver, but he is an honorable and professional military man to the point where he does not engage in playing politics behind the scenes that would help get him to that position.

** A case of TruthInTelevision and RealityIsUnrealistic if ever there were one. Some of the highest-rated snipers in history have used non-scoped rifles because the glint of light off the scope can reveal their location. If a rifle's barrel is in perfect condition, it's long enough, and the shooter is firing from a decent elevation with good stability on the weapon, though, a scope isn't really necessary.

One of the reasons Mr House tries to ensure his assassination fails is because him dying would make him a martyr and rally the NCR to focus more on the Mojave, while letting him live will make him unpopular should the NCR lose the Hoover Dam.
