<p>There are always stories about 1 appointee who shows up on Day 1 and exclaims, “I DIDN’T KNOW THIS WAS A MILITARY SCHOOL!” </p>
<p>For those who are unsure upon entering, it always pains me to see someone leave early on. They do not actually see cadet life very clearly, and definitely do not get an accurate picture of military life. It is sad to see people seemingly not give a fair chance at staying. However, I also understand that people don’t want to second guess their decision NOT to attend an SA, then realize they made a huge mistake.</p>
<p>I think people do need 100% commitment to excell at an SA, but not everyone enters with it…for some, it develops over time.</p>
