I don’t come from a family with military history, so the decision of choosing which service academy I’ll end up going to is harder than some who have “always been an Army kid” or “always been a Navy kid.” I change my mind constantly, and over the course of the last six months, I have had...

Contrary to popular belief, I believe that attending SLE and/or NASS does in fact have a positive impact on your application. I may be wrong, but having spoken to many candidates for USMA, a common, recurring theme among the vast majority of them was that they attended SLE. Similarly, for USNA...

So I’m in a predicament. On one hand, I really want to go to USNA or any SA (other than USMMA). On the other hand, there’s this 6 month long internship program at my church (not really an internship; it’s just like an elongated church conference/training) that I also plan on going to. However...
