Give the slot to someone that values the opportunity
I would not be inclined to readmit this young person. I roomed in beast with a new cadet that had gone thru the AFA version of beast and quick and was giving Army a shot. He was the most squared away new cadet around and he quit again before the end of summer.
I lack additional compassion for this situation as I have a family friend that was qualified for this slot but was not granted one. He is taking an extra year to achieve his goal while you took his slot and didn't even make use of it. These slots are valuable and you are privileged to have earned one. Getting an appointment to the academy is like getting a check for a couple hundred thousand dollars in the mail. You ripped this check up. Good luck taping it back together and trying to cash it. If you do get a second chance, make good use of the opportunity and don't quit once there.
