Attending a Service Academy Worth It?

Here is an actual answer....

Haven't worked with a lot of West Point grads and a lot of ROTC grads and a lot of OCS grads I can tell you this...

What sort of misery are you talking about? From my understanding.....it's military life so it can be a pain and it there are always hoops to dance through.

If you're West Point you stand a greater chance of making general.

I know a number of WPers who do their required commitment and get out or make CPT and get out. Civilian companies love captains.

Military life isn't for everyone but it has huge perks. Oh, and I've been in 4.5 years never deployed or shot at.

My libtard head just exploded!

As a grad (USAFA), I can attest to it being really tough. For someone thinking of a military career, I'd say it's worth it. You get a 4-year head start on learning the military mindset, which is different than what I've seen in the civilian world. You also grow up a lot faster and gain a lot of self confidence.

That said, the military has changed a lot since I served, so I can't really make a strong recommendation one way or the other.

Free tuition.Top level education. Guaranteed employment. Very impressive on a resume. Opens many doors. Did I mention free?

Yes. Yes it is worth it. If you can take it and make it.

The OP was not really looking for a serious answer. The same turd always starts these types of threads to take swipes at Military Members.

The OP is libtard who hates .MIL which is apparent to anyone who reads all the passive aggressive cowardly $hit the OP regularly spews on these boards about the military and its members.

True Story

Because you use the term libtard autaumatically invalidates anything you say. Even most conservatives find the third grade name calling tiresome.

Actually, I'm 62 and live with my wife and kids. Daddy's been dead for over 11 years. Sometimes I do think I should move in with mommy because her mind is pretty much shot and she probably shouldn't be living on her own anymore. And yet she still thinks more clearly than you.

I don't expect any sort of real answer to this but it's kind of fun and there's not much else to do now. As you're sort of fixated on those millions of college grads who are working at Starbucks or Wendy's when they could be having careers in the military, has it crossed your mind that nothing is stopping the vast majority of them from going into the military and having those great careers after all?

All this. Hell yes, it's worth it.

They are too physically and mentally weak to serve. They are mostly cowards like you who just talk $hit on the net because they would have there libtard faces smashed and teeth knocked out of their mouths if they did their $hit talking in a person to person forum.

When you learn the difference between a Navy SEAL and a "seal" get back to us fcktard.

Until then, stop trying to elaborate about something you know nothing about.

But then again..it is what libtards do..now isn't it.

It's been fun. Yeah, I'm scared I'd meet you someday. Could die from laughing.

Cheers.

That is right you fagg0t; you can't procreate by getting a$$ pounded everyday...though I am sure you keep trying!

It's definitely worth it..

Only the best get too..however once the current crop graduate and graduates in the future must realize is that they will be used and sacrificed in overseas wars which we have no business involving ourselves with.

All the signs are there.

If you are considering going into the military in any rank be aware.

there is a danger that you will be going into places and fighting wars you have no business getting involved with for the most crazy reasons.

CNN and FOX will make it sound reasonable but be aware.

Most of all stop this direction NOW.
