Stay away from Vermont and you’ll make a fine patriot. Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Military.
It might sound counter-intuitive, but you should take a look at St. John’s College in Annapolis. It’s the third oldest college in the U.S., founded in 1698. It features a Great Books program. You learn Greek, study Plato and Socrates, Euclid and Copernicus. Victor Davis Hanson, who writes on warfare and politics, who wrote the introduction to the most used edition of thucydides’ Peloponnesian War, is a big proponent of military men getting a grounding in the Classics. The school is refreshingly illiberal, focused as it is on the bigger picture that history and scholarship provide. Your parents will be glad to know graduates do well in the sciences and medicine and law — and the military.
My son is a sophomore.
Trust me, I know exactly how liberal that area is and have no problem confronting it. Hell, I currently go to Catholic school in DC...gave me MORE than enough practice in dealing with liberals.
Thx for all the info guys, really appreciate it. I’m actually looking to go into either an armored division or the paratroopers. If I had the chocie I would stick out in the military and get as high as possible because that’s the most appealing to me.
On the subject of carreer, I love history and law and would love to make that my career and possibly a role in government later. But if I chose to go into armor would it be necissary for me to get an engineering degree?
Sorry for the specifics, any help is great.
