[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Actually most 17/18 yo headed into the academies know what they want to do and the academy is their first step. [/b]

Mine knows she wants Army and that getting one of her top picks after commissioning is most likely out of WP or SMC. She also knows she wants active duty which is a guarantee with some programs.  I am sure there are kids who have no idea but we just haven't met them since the process starts early for these kids. For example cyber is really competitive. The kids have to know they want that from day 1 or it won't happen. [/quote]

Smh. Again, this is just not accurate. And it seems your dd isn’t even at WP so why are you answering as if you know what all academy applicants are like and what all of these academies are like? I’m the one with the niece, among others I know (including someone from Navy who is now a CISO) who is a Navy pilot and she actually started off at another academy.

Stop being such an alarmist. Sure, these kids tend to be focused and disciplined but not every single kid knows exactly exactly what they want to do on day one. And even if they thought they did, it’s not guaranteed. [/quote]
