Then you can really add some needed value to this forum, should your offspring matriculate to USNA.
Few really grasp the significant differences in the disparate cultures of these two fine and rather different places. And it's always surprising to hear candidates lumping these institutions together. Looking forward!
And nice as Colorado Springs may be, it confounds travel from NJ a bit. More seriously though, imo, is the monumental difference between the two. And same holds for WP.
Any thoughts on the differences between USAFA and USNA during the 4 years in school (not asking about service afterwards)? DS has visited USNA (STEM/SS) and did a visit to USAFA (daily visit with a cadet including class, lunch, etc). Also realize that USNA is in town, and USAFA is a bit removed from town. DS has talked about difference in Majors, but what the difference in life/culture/time at these two academies? From DS' perspective, the two academies appear to be similar but I know there are differences and he has applied to both for the class of 2017. Also, how does WP compare?
Maybe a mid/cadet that participated in one of the academy exchange programs between USMA, USAFA, and USNA can reply...
