[quote=Anonymous]Your son has not even started high school and he's thinking about the military and that commitment? I would offer, having been through the process and my son receiving a nomination to USNA, to wait until his or her junior year before really diving into the thought process. Towards the end of their junior year (early spring), if they still have a strong interest, have them apply to go one of the summer programs at one of the academies of the branch they have the most interest. For USNA it's called Summer Seminar. This will give them a taste and they will learn all they need to know about the application and nomination process. In the meantime, keep the grades up, find EC's that show leadership and by all means have them get involved in a least one sport (preferably team) that they can eventually become a leader in and make varsity.
