I've had my share of people obvious and stupid questions when I tell them I am interested in a service academy and I was wondering if anyone had some funny stories/conversations to share.

"So what base will you be stationed at your first year then? I might want to apply but if it's too far from my girlfriend, I probably won't."
A freshman I run with asked if I got the scholarship to the school with planes. I did confirm that I received an appointment to the AFA.
And some ladies from church back home, when hearing I was off to Naval Station Rota Spain as a Port Services Operations Officer, expressed concern about ruining my hands when pulling on dirty ropes, commenting I would get a better job if I used my college education...
In the case of KP, I fully understand any & all confusion.
