[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are very popular now with the price of college so high. Lots of kids from DMV go through the process so the academies have their pick and it isn't just rural kids trying to get out. ROTC super competitive too now.

What is different is that once you get in you have to stay in. That is also a lot of work for 4+ years. Kids going either academies or ROTC want it. So yes you should be impressed with those kids. [/quote]

Not true. You can leave before your junior year with no obligations. They know it is not for many people so totally get it.

A lot of people who would normally be applying do not want to serve under the current commander in chief, even though he will be done before current applicants graduate. This includes the children of many senior military officers who were historically fairly conservative Republicans but are horrified by the lack of respect for the values they had sworn to uphold and hate how he is destroying this country. The military tends to be much more Republican than the rest of America but many senior officers are not supportive of Trump. They hate that he put a clown like Hesgeth in charge. However, the enlisted love him. I know students who would have considered an Academy in the past who want nothing to do with it. Which is a shame.

Insert your TDS comments here. To better prove my point.[/quote]

No one applying now will serve under this administration. [/quote]
