[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would assume its very unusual for a kid to make a switch? My friends son who has been at West Point decided to take a break after his first year and has now applied to the Naval Academy and going next year. Why would someone switch? I found it odd can can that even be done? Just curious......if anyone knows. I know they are both extremely competitive and rigorous but I thought you needed to be nominated to go to West Point by a congressman or something, just wondering why he would give that up and didn't know one could transfer between the academies.[/quote]

You need a recemmenation from a Congressman for any of the service academies.  Each branch of military service has its own culture.  The kid may not have had a good sense of what that meant and realized that West Point / Army was not the right place for him and the Navy was better.

It is my understanding that Naval Academy is harder to get into than West Point.   Some of the recent challegnes with West Point is it was a direct route to the Middle East after graduation.
