    My brother was commissioned through there and Dickinson. We don’t talk these days but before that I occasionally joked he had taken the “back door Westpoint” path. Last I knew he was assigned to the Pentagon which likely tanked his career.

    Not really relevant but my family on my father’s side (he was a veteran along with my grand father) has a confirmed millennium long military service heritage where closer to me, some of my ancestors were German mercenaries while another branch of my family were with General Washington at the battle of Trenton. That must been really awkward later. Maybe not as bad as when another generation later my ancestors murdered the fuck out of each other during the civil war, extra awkward is that we have our own graveyard where they’re all buried together.
