I saw similar posts like this around the forum, but it I was wondering if any experienced Academy graduates/active duty people can give me a little insight on this.
I was fortunate enough to receive an appointment to both of the Academies, but I have no idea which to choose. I focused most of my research on what missions and life is like AFTER each of the Academies, and I really like both. I want to be a political science/foreign relations/comparative science (something like that) major. Of course this may change later on, but that has been my focus for the past four years. I'd like to ultimately go into military intelligence after the Academies which both branches offer. Somewhere down the line, however, I'd like to pursue a job in the Department of State/Pentagon/etc... as a civilian after I serve my years in the military. Obviously each Academy comes with much prestige, but what Academy would be best for this pathway?
