Hard to say, but with the service academies, you need a congressional recommendation. If you're in a populous area, you're going to have more competition for those limited recs.


Nashville - and I don't know a soul nor have an idea on how or who to meet or going about that.

Call your representatives local office (not the DC office). They should have a staffer whose job it is to coordinate military academy appointments and can walk you through the process.

Does he want to be in the military?

My $.02 I'll give unrequested- As someone who has served with lots of folks from multiple commissioning sources, consider looking for an ROTC scholarship to a good university. He'll have a normal-ish college experience, receive $ for school and still commission.

I feel like my friends from the academies didn't really have fun, at all. But what do I know?
