[quote=Anonymous]When my DD was in 9th grade, she told me she decided she wanted to go to West Point and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Then after listening to why, etc, (per PP 23:04), I did everything I could to support her in pursuing her goal. She's a plebe (first year) at West Point right now and she loves it. I have learned a lot about the military culture--I knew nothing--and I have been blown away by how fantastic it is for the right person, the right fit. I can't speak beyond the West Point experience, but what I can say about it is it's one of, if not, the top leadership training program in the world. Everything they do is geared toward being a good leader, and dealing with moral/ethical challenges etc. because it's real stuff, not boardroom stuff. It's on a whole other level and I recommend anyone who is interested to get a clearance to go on the post (campus) and learn about it.[/quote]
