<p>Take it from me as someone who applied, came, and stayed for the wrong reasons. Unless your goal in life is to become a naval or Marine officer—and even if it is—the cost to your quality of life is pretty high, and the “leadership and discipline” are more often than not disappointing. Being here while suspecting or knowing you don’t belong here is one of the worst feelings in the world.</p>
<p>Just remember this: no matter what anyone says or implies, choosing not to come or stay here does NOT reflect poorly on you.</p>
