In response 2012mom?: When I asked my son recently if he thought he might be happier at a mainstream university as opposed to a SA, he said "What makes you think I won't be happy? This is what I want to do!" He has been to several JROTC camps, not that they are anything like the Plebe summer, Rat Line or Rook Year, but he always says that it's not fun but he loves it. Happy to him is working out hard, challenging himself academically and doing something he never thought he could or would. I guess he's just made for it.
Same here. I asked my Plebe during winter break if he thinks he'd be happier at a traditional college and got a resounding H*LL NO!
One of the big factors for him seem to be the people he's with at USNA. That's not to say that there aren't any slackers in his company, but they seem to be coming around with the help of the other plebes. Kinda cool
