    Awesome, quite the accomplishment.

    I'm assuming that's because the Air Force Academy and Annapolis wouldn't let him in?

    Tell him congrats! Help him to learn some humility BEFORE HE GETS THERE. It'll be invaluable.

    That's what I told him. He basically had his choice. Also accepted by every ivy league school that he applied for.

    Well done. Hopefully he maintains that drive and motivation well beyond West Point. Our military needs better leadership.
