Is it good or bad to go into the academy leaving a girlfriend at home?Serious question.

Better to start with a girlfriend back home than to turn down an appointment entirely to stay together. Just saying!
Key word here is "decided", as in HE decided not to pursue his dream. The girlfriend did not "prevent" him from trying. It is a tough decision and there is no right answer. You have to weigh all the pros and cons, keep communication open and still think about what is best for both of your futures; short and long term futures.Totally agree. A young man, junior, in my DD's high school, who was seriously considering applying to USAFA, decided not even try because his girlfriend did not want him to. Very sad that a girlfriend/boyfriend, who claims to truly care for the other, prevents them from following their dream or future path, whether it be military or other; the regrets later in life can easily be the downfall in the relationship.
Aha! So, what I said stands. It was his decision, and if it is too much work to apply, then, IMHO, he made the right one.Actually, I believe he is using his girlfriend as an excuse. Based on what my DD said, and reading between the lines, he saw all the work involved to even apply, and didn't want to put out that much effort.
