    Math, science, and engineering at USAFA vs. USNA

    Yes and no in my opinion A person looking at service academies should base their selections on two questions, Do I like ether the Air Force, Navy, or Army better? And like any other perspective student which academy offers more of the subjects I'm interested in? Those are the two critical...

    Math, science, and engineering at USAFA vs. USNA

    I've never gone to any of the academies, but I know that the USNA history and poli sci departments have received many academic accolades and nationally are regarded as among the best in the country. West Point is also very strong in these areas also, although slightly getting off topic here.

    Will I have to get clothes/gear etc?

    Typically(at least in my case), all the new cadets were issued their clothing gear etc at one of the first ROTC class labs of the new semester. Also to answer your question you don't have to pay a single penny(unless you lose or damage something). However, unless you are contracted you will most...

    The Economics of Choosing a Major

    Being a Sophomore and current AROTC Cadet, I'd have to say what I have learned so far in college is do something you love and something you are good at.

    What the HELL...

    I'm not in AROTC yet, so don't take my words for it. Although this all sounds kind of fishy to me also, however have you confirmed that you have actually been kicked out of the program? What I would do is try to speak to your MS1 instructor or someone further up in command, i.e. the...

    Do I have anything to worry about in regards to the phyiscal aspects of AROTC

    Push-Ups- well over the minimum in 2 minutes around 50 or so I would say. However, I think I need to improve on my method, but I could be doing them right since I feel the effort paying off where it should be. Sit-Ups-Well over the minimum also, in under 2 minutes I can get around or over a...
