Does West Point permit "legacy assignments"...such as father or grandfather was in B-2, so the plebe could request to be assigned to B-2 as a legacy assignment?
Thank you for your response. I had read about legacy assignments in the USAFA forum and wondered if USMA had the same option.
USAFA likes to manufacture traditions, since they've only been around a week or two.
USMA balances the companies for demographic purposes. You have no choice in where you go, nor can anyone influence it for you. The general USMA view is that there's only one Long Gray Line, and that's the only legacy we need.

does anyone know why they don't separate them by height anymore?
IMO (obviously I wasn't here when they made the change): Fairness and development. As entertaining as watching tall vs short intermurals would be, it wouldn't be very fair. Also some companies would have too many corps squad athletes and not enough cadets to drill or perform normal company activities. Some companies could end up with top of the class while one could end up with the bottom. I doubt the people in the "bad" company would develop as well as those in an evenly distrubuted company with top, bottom, and middle performers.
