opinion from a Mid who voluntarily separated

<p>

Nope. Military mythology. No bennies for bailing before graduating, commissioning. </p>

<p>There is no “schlolarship” or “aid” from USNA, as there is no tuition, room or board charges. And thus there is no “transferring” of $$ to a college or university. It’s simply part of training for those appointed and enlisted. </p>

<p>And this would presume he would have to decline his scholarship from a college or university. Absent gross fraud or delayed commitment to hold the scholarship, from that institution, he’d probably have to reapply for admission and/or FA. Tough having cake and eating it too. :wink: </p>

<p>In any case, IF you believe HE is pondering this scenario, allow an unrequested 2 cents…that scholarship might be a better route. Take it and when he might determine he blew the chance of a lifetime by failing to accept offer of appointment to USNA, then reapply. In the meantime, if that fails, he still has his scholarship and original choice. </p>

<p>Better this way than consuming a USNA spot that cannot be filled by a transfer. Only plebes.</p>
