Welcome to West Point: Inside the US Army's prestigious military academy

As the nation’s first military academy, West Point prepares young men and women to become officers in the U.S. Army.
There's a unique, free university in the US where students graduate not just with degrees but as officers of the US Army.
Instructed by Congress to train 4,400 cadets a year and up there in terms of academic rigour and student success with the likes of Harvard and Yale, West Point produces 1,000 second lieutenants a year.
In exchange for a free education at West Point, graduates are required to serve five years in the US Army and an additional three years in the reserves.

    Incoming Cadet Candidate heading off to West Point this summer. You can actually pursue an international appointment to West Point. It's a very difficult process but if you hope to attend the Academy you can do it. It may not happen the first try, but the Academy looks very favorably on those who try and try again.

    What is the medal ribbon Cadet English wears?

  • @lynntaylor349

    @lynntaylor349

    16 күн бұрын

    national defense service ribbon - basically a free-lunch award because everyone that joins the army or navy or any u.s. military branch automatically gets one, as long as he joins during a time of war - which is why he has one, since he said he is in year two which means he joined about 2 years ago, when they were still showering these things out, as anyone that joined after 2001 (9/11) was considered serving during the "war on terrorism", which lasted until the u.s. pulled out of afghanistan in 2021, and given how slow things go in the pentagon at times, they finally decided they would stop awarding these starting in 2023, therefore this had been the first ribbon for anyone who signed up over the past 20 years or so, and he was among the last to get it (until the u.s. gets into another active war, that is) the interesting thing is he also has the parachutist badge on top of that ribbon, which is arguably much more meaningful - in the usual army it would be the other way around, you need to first prove yourself by earning tons of awards (ribbons) and demonstrate that you are the pride of the unit, before your unit would even consider sending you to airborne school to get that parachutist badge, because every training you go to the unit has to fight for the slot and budget and navigate all that hassles in the bureaucratic machine, so they generally only send the most decorated and best deserving ones to trainings like airborne, air assaults, etc. unless of course there are mission requirements, such as the unit being an airborne unit like the 82nd, then they would just send you no matter what. but normally a guy with a lone ribbon that everybody else has would hardly be looked at to go to any specialty trainings at all. I suppose just getting accepted to west point is considered an achievement, plus west point has all the budgets in the world, so they could just send their students to whatever trainings they wanted.

    @@PrinceAnt722 Your confusing recommendation letters and nominations. Recommendation letters are just references to help the admissions committee get insight into the candidate. A nomination is the legal ability to compete for an appointment. When you receive an appointment, the appointment will be charged under one of your nominations. Other than that, you are correct that a rec letter from an academy grad does carry weight. The prior enlisted MP your referring to was nominated by the battalion commander. He may have also written a rec letter. The nominations from CO's is only available to prior enlisted soldiers. Not just any academy grad can do it. The CO doesn't actually have to be an academy grad. Being an academy grad has nothing to do with it. It has to be a CO of a unit. Further that CO can only nominate their own soldiers.

    Hey! Im going this summer so I can give some insight. In every state, there are 3 different pathways to getting a nomination. A senator, congressman, or vice president nomination (also a presidential nomination but thats only for kids whos parents are veterans). Each typically have an application that you fill out and submit (a few essays, list your EC's, SAT/ACT, GPA, transcripts etc.). Depending on the size of the state, the congressman will usually then interview you if you are competitive and the senator may or may not depending on how many appliations they get. VP doesnt because too many applicants so they just pick the most qualified based on essays, SAT/ACT, GPA, ECs etc. You must get a nomination to get considered for a service academy. Then once nominations are submitted, West Point ultimately decides who is most competitive of the pool of applicants with nominations. Those kids get in (typically 2-3/10 nominated from every district). Connections have nothing to do with it. It is fully merit based.

He has a GF who adores him and hes doing well. Unless you are the dean or higher up at West Point who has a way of measuring how well recent graduates are doing and have data to back it up, can it. The academy still equips and creates amazing people.

Totally different approaches to officer training. Of course a lot of US military officers come out of regular college ROTC and also up through the ranks OTC.
