I'm looking to join the class of 2024 at either USMA or USAFA but I cannot decide. I've been pondering it for many months and I'm hoping that some external input can break the stagnation.
I plan on majoring in mechanical or chemical engineering. After school, I plan on pursuing either the Aviation, Engineering, or Battlefield airmen/SOF fields. After going to SLE and summer seminar, I feel that I identify more with the culture of the air force but I am much more attracted to the long history of West Point and the Army. West Point has been my dream since I was very little and it has been my primary motivation for doing well in school. I am also quite attracted to the training offered by West Point such as Army Airborne school, CFT, CLDT etc.
I know the choice should be based on which service I see myself in after time at the academies, but the issue lies in the fact that I could see myself at either. Any advice?
