<p>Nice to have an honest, up close and personal assessment from one who has seen both sides of the coin. Thanks for that contribution.</p>

While this is a common thought, it is perpetuated by those who “assume”. In fact, it is not true at all. There ARE significant differences in what is taught and how it is taught. If folks would do their homework and closely examine the curricula, methods and objectives they would see stark differences. This is not to say one is ‘better’ but that they are individual and serve the needs of their branch.</p>
<p>That said - rankings are most valuable to those at the top, others will. They are easy to dismiss when you are not at the top. I am quite sure that if the rankings were reversed - Navy #1 and West Point down around #25 - the bells would be ringing in the Naval Academy chapel. It’s just human nature.</p>
