Cool deal! I'm in a split between USMMA, A&M, and Colorado School of Mines. I'm really leaning towards the Merchant Marine Academy, due to the incredible amount of options upon graduation and only having to go reserve.

That said, I always hated when we had cadets rotate through when I was on active duty. Most of those dudes were total pricks.
When I was at Ft. Knox we ended up mowing their "hiking path" which I always thought was funny.
Coley,
Congrats to you and your son, I hope his experience at the SLE program is everything he could hope for!

He is still really excited about it, and he is real happy that one of his good friends also got into SLE. Unfortunately it looks like I will not be able to get off to take him myself, but my brother lives in Albany and will more then likely take him for us.

How old is your son?Don't worry about what you can't change.
Do the best you can with what you have.
Be honest, even if it hurts.

My son was tracking for a spot in Colorado Springs, but the more we learned, the better off he'd end up with a regular 4 year college and ROTC. You give up a ton of your fun years in a military academy as opposed to going to the school of your choice and only needing to ROTC your last couple of years.
