Service academy admissions, explained by the officers who coach families through it. LTC Robert Kirkland (USA, Ret), a West Point graduate, and Capt Trisha Dach (USAF), a USAFA graduate, cover what actually decides an appointment to West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, the Coast Guard Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy: the Whole Candidate Score and its equivalents, congressional nominations, the Candidate Fitness Assessment, teacher evaluations, interviews, and DoDMERB medical qualification. Episodes follow the application calendar, so families hear each topic before the deadline, not after. Written for parents first, with the numbers behind every claim and the mistakes we see most often.
LTC Kirkland and Capt Dach are the only two coaches. Every student works directly with one of them. If you want to know exactly where your student stands and what needs to improve, reserve your Service Academy Admissions Assessment at gainserviceacademyadmission.com/assessment.
