I'm a junior in high school who just recently became interested in the Naval and Airforce Academies, and I feel like my resume will be lagging. My school doesnt have JROTC, and I've never done Sea Cadets or Civil Air Patrol. I do a varsity sport, and a few clubs, along with being the founder and president of one sports related club. My grades are good, and I have a few leadership credentials, but I need alot more. Im not sure Im well equipped yet, and the clock is ticking. Any suggestions?
If I'm about to turn 20 and have already graduated highschool before I turned 18 is it too late for me to apply? I am really interested in going, and feel like I can make it, but I hadn't really wanted to go to the military until I was sure I definitely wanted it. Now I definitely want it💯
Its not too late! You can apply up until you are 23. Here's the federal law: "you must be at least 17 years of age and must not have passed your 23rd birthday on July 1 of the year in which you enter the Academy." uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title10-section7446&num=0&edition=prelim
In a previous video is yours, 20% attrition rate for service academies. What's the reason? If academic, then "Brian" would have been a better choice than "Alex." Easier to develop the leader than develop the smarts needed to graduate. Also, chess club...that says a thinker and strategist, something the services absolutely need. Feedback on my comments please.
The largest percentage of attrition is actually voluntary; that is, they voluntarily leave because they've chosen its not for them anymore. Some involuntarily attrit due to conduct or honor violations. And the smallest percentage is due to academics. Instructors at the Academies have more hands-on teaching focus (and less research focus) than a typical university, and therefore, if you want to succeed academically, you have all the resources necessary to do so.

Will leadership programs or sea cadets help my resume? I’m going into 10th grade and want to become a naval officer.
What can we do if we don’t have access to varsity sports - does something like running marathons count?
