I am 17, a high school senior, and I am soon enlisting through the Delayed Entry Program.
I know the Army is definitely for me. I seek a lifetime of service. And, of course, I am applying to West Point's Class of 2024 to get its particular lifestyle in higher education.
I plan to submit my application when it is complete and hopefully become a cadet in the eldest service academy in the nation. At the same time, I'd be in the DEP (Delayed Entry Program), which is Plan B, supposing I do not receive an appointment to West Point.
I took the SAT once and scored 1330. My GPA (unweighted) is 4.0, and my class rank is 1 out of 482.
*Maybe responses to the thread would be influenced by this*
I'm worried that if I enter a particular MOS, and I choose a specific term in the contract (say, four years), then perhaps I would not be able to apply to West Point's Class of 2025 as an enlisted soldier. For example, if I enter Infantry for four years, would I have the "time" and "place" to apply to West Point?
Now, I'm not quite knowledgeable about this; I would like to know more to increase my chances of obtaining an appointment to USMA's Class of 2025 as an enlisted soldier (IF I do not get into the Class of 2024).
So today, I would appreciate suggestions for what MOS or occupational field I should sign up for and what the term of my contract should look like.
