The outcome point is valid, both SA and ROTC make great officers. However, I wouldn't condone eliminating ROTC/SMC at all. Also, I don't think you understand my comment to service/military. When I was ROTC in 1989 (it was 30 years ago) at a public university we were a small minority. Many...

In all due respect you need to learn to read. Nowhere did it say inferior. All I said was different experience. Please read the entire post before coming to these conclusions. Thank you.

Well thought out response. Thank you. To clarify, in no way was my comment meant to undermine or imply the quality of ROTC. In fact, ROTC was the route I took 25 years ago. All I said was there is a difference which is true - the experience and training from ROTC to SA is significant. Senior...

After last week's TWE massacre (DS received 2 of 3), it struck me that we should look at adding more Service Academies for this country. They offer something that no other schools do - structure, discipline, intensity, physical fitness requirements, leadership training, patriotism, service...

Wow! You should be proud of your son. What a resume! He should have a lot of options. May I ask what state or area you live in? That can have a big impact. If you live in NYC or Minnesota your chances are good as not many folks apply but if you live in Texas or Colorado it's 'hyper'...

A bunch of appointments today, congratulations!!!!

RE: Stats - I get it but there are things called intangibles. Leadership isn't about being chosen/elected a leader but rather your effectiveness as a leader. Sure you aced your ACTs and got elected President of SGA but can you truly lead a team and get them to meet their objectives. There are...

To patriot23, rejection is tough especially when it's to someone you love. Consider the big picture, look at how accomplished your son is and what kind of character this hard work has developed. You should be proud and hopeful for the future. With those kind of grades and resume he should get...

DS applied to USNA, USAF, USMA is medically DQ'd with no waiver requested and no nomination. We've not received TWEs and his portals as of this morning do not indicate so. We don't expect an appointment. However the good news is that all 3 SA regional commanders have told him he is ideal for...
