all of them do. all of them are as equally important as the rest and as under-appreciated. however, the marines are known to be the hardest out there so if absolutely had to pick one i'd say them. first ones in, last ones out.

I would answer your question this way "What do they call a person who graduates last in their class at medical school"???\n\nDoctor\n\nIt doesn't really matter where you graduate from.  It makes more of a difference the quality of education and the grades you obtain in school.

According to a 1998 survey, Georgia had only 54% of its students graduate.  Iowa was the highest at 93%.

Actually how about putting every male graduate that DOESN'T graduate high school be required to join the military. I'd think that makes more sense.

yes, honors means you're among the top 97% (percentage varies with different university/college/school) of the whole b.com course/degree/subject.

I have been accepted by the USMA. I am a female moderate, who happens to be born from parents from different parts of the world. (Guyana & Kuwait). I found, that it is a matter of being qualified. I know of 6 other cadets who are Hispanic, West Indian, Chinese, and Korean, who've entered The Point. I also know that there are many people who come to WP from their just to train and lead their Armies with adequate competence. Media is media...and the lack of diversity is what it apparently transgresses.

In what State there are many high schools with that name.

Many of the first were Navy and Marine Corps pilots, so I would guess Annapolis.  After that... Starfleet Academy.

I believe that in the U.S. Army the highest rank attainable is a four star general. There are probably more than one four star generals at this time; however, only one of them is the Joint Chief of Staff.\nIn the Marine Corps. the highest rank is the five star general and their title is Commandant of the Marine Corps.

many recruits are very, very educated.

Discuss what ratings/MOSs have the best promotion rates (the Navy says "Choose your rate-- choose your fate").  For example, in the Navy a 'nuke'-- a Machinists Mate (nuclear), may be a Second Class Petty Officer (E-5) by the time he finishes school and goes to his first sub or carrier; while a Mess Specialist (cook)will be lucky to make E-5 in his first enlistment.  Of course, nuke school is also the hardest school, academically, in the Navy, and a lot od students (including officer students) wash out because they can't handle the academics.  Choose your rate-- choose your fate.\n\nAsk about where you're likely to be stationed in your first tour (if you're looking at infantry, I'll give you a hint: Iraq).\n\nAsk about the potential for college credit and further education-- some rate/MOS training is worth college credit (and boot camp is usually good for a couple of P.E. credits in any case), and many bases have college campuse extensions, offering classes on base.  Education counts in the military-- not just having it, but willingness to further it.\n\nFind out about potential bonuses, for signing up or for re-enlisting (and don't yield to temptation and blow the bonus on a shiny new pickup truck, which will then sit, undriven, for a year or more while you're deployed).\n\nAnd perhaps most important, get your answers in writing.  It won't help to say "But the recruiter promised me that I could go to such-and-such school"-- nobody cares.  If it's not in your contract, it doesn't exist.\n\nAs the saying goes, "How do you know when your recruiter's lying to you?  His lips move."   It's not true of all recruiters-- there are some very good ones-- but they're under tremendous pressure to make their quotas, especially now, with an increasingly unpopular war reducing the number of willing applicants.

In 1890, football was widely popular among American colleges, including the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Yet only two West Point cadets had ever played: Cadet Leonard M. Prince, and Cadet Dennis Mahan Michie '92, the high-spirited son of Peter Smith Michie (Class of 1863), Professor of Natural Philosophy and head of the Academic Board. \nDennis Michie loved football, and he had an undeniable influence over his formidable father. So it was young Michie who launched Army's football career, when he persuaded his father to allow West Point to accept a challenge from the Naval Academy to a game of football.\n\nThe first game went predictably. Navy had been playing organized football for years; West Point's team, with young Michie as the coach and trainer, had been allowed to practice only on a few rainy Saturdays when the weekly parade was called off. Michie's coaching seems to have been fairly informal. When navy's team came out on the field and began warm-up drills and exercises, the cadets looked on in shock.\n\nAt the line of scrimmage, Navy's quarterback began to bark out commands in nautical terms. "Tack ship" indicated a run to the right, "Wear ship" a run to the left. The Army quarterback, Kirby Walker, caught on fast, and began shouting out his signals in Army terms - "In battery, heave!"\n\n \n \n  \n\nArmy's First Clash with Navy \n \n   \n\nSince at this time the basic tactic in football was the flying wedge, allowing for none of the finesse of the modern game, the game was all brute force - war by another means. Army's inexperience accentuated the havoc. Kirby Walker was knocked out four times, and was finally taken off unconscious to the hospital, but the game went on. A New York Times reported noted, "There is not much football in this struggle but the fighting is immense." Navy exploited its sophistication, at one point running a fake punt, which caught Army so off guard the play went for a touchdown. The referees shrugged off Army's indignant protests that a man who professed he was about to punt was honor bound to kick away. Navy won the game 24-0. \n\nThe defeat spurred a robust effort at fielding a better team. Every regiment in the Army contributed money for uniforms and a part-time coach, as well as sending the team down to Annapolis for a rematch. In 1891 West Point played six home games, winning four, ad one away game - at Annapolis, where the cadets recorded their final victory over Navy 32-16.\n\nEven before he graduated, Dennis Mahan Michie had founded one of the great American sports rivalries; as a player he scored in Army's first victory. Before him lay a future shining with promise. But he was cut down almost before he could start. He died in the Spanish-American War, at the Battle of San Juan Hill. In the tradition of naming sports facilities for Academy graduates who died in action, Michie Stadium is named for him.
