<p>As you discuss SLS with your parents, remember, going to SLS does not mean you are going to USMA as a cadet. SLS is a great summer experience even if you never go back as a cadet and even if you decide a military career is not for you. In other words, make sure you are arguing the right question: “I want to go to SLS” is not the same as “I want to join the Army”. Win the SLS argument this year and make the Army argument next year.</p>
