I certainly agree with you, that if the academy made things too easy on him until it was too late he should not be held responsible. however, the bike test is, from what i have been told, just as hard if not harder than the actual run test. the run test standard is 2 miles in 16:37, as stated in the article. for the bike test you must be able to bike 10 kilometers in a specified period of time. don't quote me on this, but i believe the time standard for that is 18 minutes. i have never taken the bike test, but i understand it is actually quite difficult. again, that is anecdotal evidence, so take it for what you will.

Apologies. I've learned that the rules of these West Point scholarships are, 'You dont pass you pay.'

I also learned that the story being presented may not be being told correctly.

Sorry for the disagreement on this thread.
