even though USMMA does not offer a summer program, i would highly recommend attending one of the other academies' programs. i attended USMA SLS and USCGA AIM, and having those under my belt not only gave me a very good overall impression of what i was getting myself into, but also gave me an introduction into the most rudimentary aspects of a regiment. i would rank both of those pretty high up there in the list of cool and beneficial things i have done.
