Hi all,
I have a question regarding the Citadel - any advice is appreciated. Basically, I've been accepted to the Citadel - and I'm seriously leaning towards going there. Just have a few questions....
- What is the average GPA for most Knobs? I understand that's a hard question to answer, but on average - what is it? And is it common to see Knobs/Cadets transfer into one of the service academies? Or is rare?
- for any infantry/sof vets, did knob year mature you? To state the obvious, it's completely different than any other college environment - and they're there to prepare you for the military. Did it benefit you later on in life (in the military)?
- and lastly, I'm very much interested in entering SOF - particularly the SEAL teams, and Rangers. Is it common to see a Cadet attempt to commission in with the hopes of getting a SpecWar billet and become a SEAL? Or do most tend to gravitate towards line/leg infantry units.
And lastly...
This is a stupid question, but how is Charleston? And are Cadets allowed to go out on weekends?
Thanks any advice is appreciated.
