Download or read book How to Get Into a Military Service Academy written by Michael Singer Dobson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five United States military service academies are some of the most elite schools in the nation, taking the finest high school students and turning them into commissioned officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine. Over 60,000 students a year begin the arduous process of applying, and about 4,000 get in. At West Point alone, over 15,000 candidates start the applications process. Less than a third of them finish it. Some figure out that they aren’t going to be competitive, some get derailed with specific problems, and some get lost and drop out even though they might have gotten in. From applications to Congressional nominations, from athletics to medical qualifications, the process is unlike any other for getting into college. This book leads students and their families through the process step by step, offering the tools needed for the very best chance of success. Covering special issues and concerns like LGBTQ, women and minorities, criminal records, and more, the author also discusses whether attending a service academy is RIGHT for the prospective student, and what he or she can expect upon acceptance, admission, and attendance. Using his personal experience in helping his son through the applications process, Michael Singer Dobson provides all candidates with the ins and outs of the competition for a spot at one of these prestigious schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of a comprehensive review of student treatment at the Department of Defense (DOD) service academies originally requested by Senator Nunn and Senator Glenn, we collected information on the honor and conduct adjudicatory systems at the Military Academy, the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy. The purpose of this report is to (1) compare the honor and conduct systems at each academy and describe how the various systems provide common due process protections and (2) describe the attitudes and perceptions of the students toward the honor and conduct systems. As arranged with your staff, unless you publicly announce its contents earlier, we plan no further distribution of this report until 1 day from its date of issue. At that time, we will send copies to other interested congressional committees and Members of Congress; the Secretaries of Defense, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force; and the Superintendents of the Military Academy, the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy. We will also make copies available to other interested parties on request. Over the years, there have been several highly publicized incidents at the Department of Defense's (DOD) service academies involving honor or conduct charges against students. The former Chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the former Chairman of its Subcommittee on Manpower and Personnel asked GAO to review the adjudicatory systems used at the academies to make decisions regarding student conduct and performance. The objectives of this report are to (1) compare the honor and conduct systems at each academy and describe how the various systems provide common due process protections and (2) describe the attitudes and perceptions of the students toward these systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The traditional distinction between military and political affairs in American life has become less significant as military officers increasingly participate with civilians in the formulation of national policies. In an examination of the impact of this change upon professional military education, the authors present a forthright analysis of military responsibility today, the growth of education for policy roles, the form and content of that education, and its relation to the over-all duties of the armed forces. They have used hundreds of interviews and questionnaires and studied carefully the history and programs of the military academies, ROTC, Command and Staff Schools, Armed Forces Staff College, National War College, three service War Colleges, Industrial College of the Armed Forces, and other institutions. Originally published in 1957. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Download or read book Cadets on Campus written by John A. Coulter and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the founding of the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1802, more than eight hundred military schools have existed in this country. The vast majority have closed their doors, been absorbed into other educational institutions, or otherwise faded away, but others soldier on, adapting to changing times and changing educational needs. While many individual institutions have had their histories written or their stories told, to date no single book has attempted to explore the full scope of the military school in American history. Cadets on Campus is the first book to cover the origin, history, and culture of the nation’s military schools—secondary and collegiate—and this breadth of coverage will appeal to historians and alumni alike. Author John Alfred Coulter identifies several key figures who were pivotal to the formation of military education, including Sylvanus Thayer, the “father of West Point,” and Alden Partridge, the founder of the school later known as Norwich University, the first private military school in the country. He also reveals that military schools were present across the nation, despite the conventional wisdom that most military schools, and, indeed, the culture that surrounds them, were limited to the South. Coulter addresses the shuttering of military schools in the era after the Vietnam War and then notes a curious resurgence of interest in military education since the turn of the century.
Download or read book Military Personnel written by Brenda S. Farrell and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incidents of sexual harassment and assault contradict the academies' core values to treat all with dignity and respect. Yet, since 2003, each of the Department of Defense (DOD) academies and the Coast Guard Academy has experienced at least one incident. In 2003, Congress directed DOD to establish programs and to submit annual reports, and although not required, the Coast Guard Academy, within the Department of Homeland Security, has taken similar action. GAO was asked to review sexual harassment and assault programs at the academies. This report evaluates (1) the academies' programs to prevent, respond to, and resolve sexual harassment and assault cases; (2) the academies' visibility over sexual harassment and assault incidents; and (3) DOD and Coast Guard oversight of their academies' efforts. GAO analyzed data for program years 2003 through 2006, reviewed requirements, met with service and academy officials, and interviewed randomly selected students at each academy. GAO suggests that Congress consider requiring the Coast Guard Academy to submit data for DOD's annual report and to participate in assessments methodologically comparable to those administered by DOD. GAO is also making recommendations to DOD and the Coast Guard to improve oversight of sexual assault and harassment at their academies. Both agencies concurred or partially concurred with GAO's recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the treatment of fourth class midshipmen and cadets at Department of Defense service academies, focusing on the: (1) extent of hazing at each of the academies; (2) academies' actions to control and eliminate hazing; and (3) impact of hazing on cadets and midshipmen. GAO found that: (1) the distinction between allowable fourth class indoctrination and improper fourth class treatment was unclear to a significant number of cadets and midshipmen; (2) the majority of the students at all three academies indicated that during their fourth class year they had been subjected to upperclassmen screaming in their faces, verbal harassment, memorizing and reciting trivia, and using study hours to prepare for fourth class duties; (3) the officers on the commandants' staffs generally concurred with the extent of hazing cited by the students, except for the Air Force Academy officers; (4) academy disciplinary records revealed that few individuals have been charged with hazing; (5) the Military Academy and Naval Academy made changes in their fourth class indoctrination system which focused on positive leadership development techniques; (6) there was a strong correlation between self-reported exposure to hazing-type treatment and higher frequency of physical and psychological stress symptoms, lower grade point averages, thoughts about leaving the academy, and lower motivation toward making the service a career; and (7) the majority of students, especially those in the upper classes, held traditional views regarding the purpose and operation of the fourth class system.
