Hi all,
New member here. I am a father of a 13 year’s old 8th grader. My son started to think about possible military career. He also understands that getting a good education is a number one priority. With that said a military college can be a good option if that what he decides to do.
I know how hard it is to get in to USMA or VMI, however he is a very good student in a very competitive boys only catholic school. He is also a decent hockey player (not D-1 material though, so athletic scholarship in not on the horizon). He also does Rock Climbing and Junior Rifle team.
My biggest concern is his leadership ability. He is a quiet guy. My question is there anything we can do to develop his leadership abilities or it’s something the person is born with?
Thank you in advance for your time
