Packer....
by all means encourage your son to seek an appointment. If he truly wants to be at KP and wants a degree he will make it through just fine. Don't let all the other folks scare you.
It is a very difficult curriculum, very demanding time wise, and not for the faint at heart, but as my DS told me...."if you want to make it through here you can, you just have to be focused on education and not playing or partying"

KPmom2011: Thank you. I am sure he can get through it if he wants it. My concern was/is more that the quality of education is truly good. I view education as filling your toolbox so that you have the necessary tools to make a living doing something you like. I want to make sure his toolbox gets filled with quality tools.

The total package in their toolbox, when graduating from KP, is outstanding.

Packer: Seriously? Making sure your child's "toolbox" is full if they choose USMMA and graduate is your concern and the impetus for your original question? Seriously?
(For some of the mids who might frequent this board - an extra beer at graduation or if you can find me during homecoming if you can name the USMMA professor I am parodying).
Kidding aside - rest assured regardless of any particular professor or professors, should your child choose USMMA, any of the other Service Academies, and likely any Ivy or similar choice if it's available to them, while their experience will be different - when they graduate they're likely to have a fair number of excellent quality "tools" in their box.
Good luck.
