Every SA has a mission and its first objective is to produce quality officers. Receiving a college education is at the core of this, but so is the physical, mental and military leadership training. We don't take ethics for the junior officer or navigation for no reason. At least at USNA, the education still is grounded in producing an educated officer with a strong STEM background. You can be a straight a student at a SA, but if you can't pass the PRT, follow orders, pass the professional knowledge or suck on your summer assignments, you won't graduate. That is what makes it much more than 'just college' and I prefer to use that phrase than the other as it isn't your standard college, it's much more and that much different. So your 1 year at Kings Point qualifies you to debate with a USAF Colonel on if it's 'not college' or not?
I never contradicted any of this. But I dont need a year of kings point or west point or what have you to debate with anyone. This is a forum.
