I can attest to the fact that a service academy looks much better once your left than it did while you were there. It is very hard to appreciate the experiences you've been given until they're done "giving them to you."
It even takes while for grads to appreciate where they came from, to begin contributing to their alumni associations.
While I didn't have the best of times at my school, I did have some very good times, I made the best friends, and I had experiences that I can never forget and can thank my school enough for. An academy strengthens the core you enter with. You may want to leave every day while you're there, but once you've crossed the stage, and give it some time, you will really appreciate it.
