I'm just curious if it is an asset or a liability if you have a sibling already at an SA or a parent that served? Our son is currently at USMAPS and (presumably) will be in the USMA class of 2018 and I served in the Army back in the stone age. Our daughter is a candidate to the USMA class of 2018 also. She also applied to USNA, USAFA and USCGA. On each of the applications they asked about parents and siblings and specifically asked if parents had been/were in the military (their rank, branch, MOS etc.) and/or if they had/were attending an SA.
We were just wondering if it was in the plus column...as in - the candidate knows what she is getting into, comes from a military family, understands the commitment, etc. OR, if it was in the minus column - as in -spread the wealth around - one kid in an SA is enough - give someone else a chance.
We have seen many instances of multiple children at the same SA or in different SA's at the same time but maybe they are super stars. Just wondering...
