[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Because he wants to be in the Army. Why is this confusing? [/b]

One of the most impressive men I know went to West Point and later the Army paid for his master's degree at Harvard. He was a career Army guy, then retired and now in consulting. And, no, his parents didn't push him into it or have a family history of going to West Point.[/quote]

[b]Why not do ROTC and have a normal college experience?
[/b]
The pay, pensions, housing allowance, GI bill etc are nothing spectacular financially compared to what people graduating from West Point’s peer schools make. If you want to be in the army for your own reasons (family tradition, wanting to serve, honor), go right ahead, but don’t do it for the money, because the total compensation is not stellar.[/quote]

Because they want the West Point experience. And, for people who make a career in the Army there is definitely prestige to being a West Point grad. Obviously, people choosing a military career are not doing it for the money. Just as people who choose many other careers do not make money the top priority. I know, hard for some DCUMs to understand.[/quote]

Because there is a huge leap from West Point to any of the rotc schools. Wht do you think westpoint is the no one public producer of Rhodes scholars in the US. It’s the best of the best [/quote]
