I graduated from the USAF Academy and flew in the Air Force in my younger days.
Navy is a cool place and a great school been there many times.
The secret to getting into an Academy is to apply to one that is in less demand in your area. I live near West Point and it is quite difficult to get into it around here. I guess what I am saying is if you live near Annapolis he might consider applying to Merchant Marine Academy as there are usually less students that want to go there.
