[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can do non-cut sports, weight lifting and all sorts of things.[/quote] This. Also, service academies and serving as an officer are high pressure environments. If your student struggles as it is in their high school environment do not push them towards a service academy. Not everyone makes it through academies and after sophomore year you are on the hook for the cost of training $$$. The outcomes for service academy dropouts are far worse than students who attend other "lesser" institutions or enlist. Don't be tempted to push your student along for the siren song of free college. It is isn't free it is paid for in different ways.[/quote]
