Academic Support At USMMA?

Right the 37.5% isn’t of people who wanted it it’s of the entire class. Which is why some of the assertions of you’re more likely to get aviation from KP seems questionable. The number of aviation billets out of USNA and USAFA are statistically significant in comparison of the other academies… so the idea that if someone really wants to be a pilot they should pick KP over USNA or USAFA is plain silly when looking at the numbers.

If you want to be a merchant marine go to KP … if you want to join another service go to that academy, if you don’t get in go ROTC or prep for a year and reapply

Why, it worked for him and many others...

While I'm SURE that you know it is not true, it sure LOOKS like you're ASSUMING that since Navy sends 37.5% to aviation that therefore 67.5% were rejected from aviation.

Since I said "the 37.5% of billets available" you would be correct. Billets available is FAR different from an acceptance rate of applicants. That was my exact point in post #34.

I COULD post the USNA astronauts but will not as USNA has more astronauts than any other university/school. I had one classmate make a number of shuttle flights and a teammate who also flew on the shuttle.

Context is that I gave that graduate as an example of what KP grads can achieve in response to this comment... "If you want to be a merchant marine go to KP … if you want to join another service go to that academy, if you don’t get in go ROTC or prep for a year and reapply"

If KP allows commissioning in any branch, why shouldn't people consider KP as an option for a military career? Why prep (especially self-prep) with no guarantees if an appointment to KP is offered? I don't find that to be practical advice.
