The US Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, and the Military Academy at West Point have all reported jumps in enrollment this year. The Naval Academy has had the largest jump because of its aggressive recruitment, but the higher enrollments at all three academies is good news. There is no other experience like life at a military academy. I feel that the rigors and discipline of this lifestyle does in fact produce a more disciplined and well rounded individual.
The cadet learns how to manage time effectively, he or she also developes interpersonal and leadership skills. The regimen makes for a more productive soldier, citizen, and worker. Cadets are taught to adapt to a gruelling work ethic and learn to accept responsibility and to function under pressure. I for one am all for this lifestyle, especially to train our young military officers. We should strive to maintain the best and most demanding training possible. We honor our cadets as the future leadership of this great countries armed forces, and we show our appreciation in the service we give with our Armed Forces rings.
