[quote=Anonymous]How hard is it to get a nomination-that part of the process seems daunting. If my child wanted to apply to a service academy, I would support them, but it's not an option I would promote. My father was an officer in Vietnam. He's a decorated combat veteran and very proud of his service, but he and my mom never had anything good to say about officer culture. They are very straightlaced people, and as my mom always says (almost 50 years later), "We couldn't believe all the drinking and carrying-on, we thought these people were supposed to be the best of the best!" And then she has lots of stories about officer's wives drinking gin at 10 in the morning, and people having affairs, and such. [/quote]
