[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have good friends and family members who are Service Academy grads. A few thoughts: 1. It's a small, elite club. Incredible individuals make it through but there is no lack of pretension separating the Academy grads from the rest of the military (enlisted and non-Academy officers). They get treated better than others throughout their career and they are conscious of it. This really seeps into the spousal cultural down the road. 2. Best friends for life are made at the Academies. These are the people who will literally die for you or help raise your kids if you die. And yes, those conversations are had. 3. Lots of serious Type A's. If that's not your kid, they probably won't make the cut. I'd be thrilled if my child attended an Academy. It opens tons of doors throughout their life and career,[/quote] You have no idea what you are talking about. Service Academy grad with 30 years of service.[/quote]
