[quote=Anonymous]Maybe he wanted to be in the navy? Honestly, I have a kid who is a current high school sophomore and might consider one of the service academies. I considered West Point many years ago myself. If my kid decides to go that route I would certainly encourage the Naval Academy over the others. In terms of long-term career opportunities I suspect they are better in the Navy for a kid coming out of one of the academies in a few years. Think about it -- we are winding down what is largely ground and air involvement in the middle east and hopefully we will not be so heavily committed for many, many years (or ever). But, that also means that there are a large number of officers and soldiers who are not much older who have significant combat and/or combat area experience. Every time an assignment or promotion is being considered that lack of combat experience is going to be a negative when there will be so many who do have that experience. [/quote]
