Out of curiosity, what is the excused absence class policy at West Point?
Under what circumstances are you required/admitted to miss class, and what happens from there? How hard is it to get caught up on the work once you've missed it?
I'd expect things like athletic competition to be on the list of reasons to not be in class. Will there ever be things that might be specific to your company/reg that would mean that you're not in class while other cadets are?
What about illness? Do you have to be deathly sick to miss a class? Who makes the distinction between healthy and too sick to go to class? It's not like you have your parents around to vouch for you when your school comes calling, like in high school.
