<p>Ditto Mountaineer Mom’s reply, my son went B split also. The summer he did have a chance to be home he ended up going back to school to help with Indoc anyway–they just can’t stay away!</p>
<p>Another consideration: There is a ship that goes to the Antarctic, only on A split. If you are B split you can’t apply for it. Note that it is very competitive to get on, only 2 cadets can go (although I heard a rumor that maybe 4 will go this year). I’ve heard it’s an awesome trip from one cadet who went!</p>
