West Point

[dustoff17]

Have to brag here a little. My daughter just received and accepted her appointment to West Point!!!
She has been talking about West Point since she was 12 and we had a discussion about the school. Even though she'll be a Commissioned Officer
)), I am SO stoked about this one!!

EDIT: Grammar correction....should have attended a better school, huh?

She is seriously considering Law (May a well let us taxpayers pick up the tab) or a career in Cyber Security. These are completely different paths but she want to do both if possible.

I don’t know if a person is allowed a double major at an academy.

There's a tall order.

I thought about it but decided the Army is hurting after losing to Navy, so I figured I’d leave that joke alone for now.

Even if she takes a liberal studies major the West Point curriculum puts cadets into a selected hard science field as part of the broadening.

It’s how you end up with a commander who has a degree in a Humanities field but knows waaaay to much about Chemical or Nuclear Engineering.

Tell her congrats. Even if she “missed the war” there is more than enough to do in our “peace time military.”

I’ve worked with folks from each of the academies and every branch of military. There are two groups that consistently stand out: West Pointers and anyone from the USMC. Congratulations to your daughter; I’m sure she will be a standout, too.
