A couple asides: if you have these thoughts and you haven’t entered KP yet, you probably shouldn’t go (see KP2001). If however, you are there already, know that it isn’t going to get better academically if that is your problem. If it is the military bit, leave now. Also know that many required courses at KP do not transfer to “normal” colleges, i.e. firefighting. However, many mids transfer to other maritime academies (i.e. SUNY, Maine). The summer sea time for B split is a tie - it really is your junior year, but as you are at sea and not at the academy, it doesn’t really count as junior year for these purposes (but doublecheck if an issue).
