Don't really have much of an interest in this game, although a few years ago at West Point I presented a paper I co-authored, met some of the cadets, some were football players. Nice guys...I guess I will pull for Army.

Terrible place as a cadet, but very cool place to visit or as an officer. Did you like it?

Yeah, the campus is beautiful. I got lots of pictures, the statues of all the old generals and the cannons were really cool. Looking over the cliff at the river, you could see why it was such a strategic place to have a fort on the Hudson.

The co-author of the paper actually went there, showed me all the sights and behind the scenes stuff.

The cadets are impressive, very impressive. Confident, and very motivated were the first impressions I got.

...the other thing I didn't know that struck me was literally every minute of their day is structured. They have no free time to mess around.

I've heard it isn't uncommon for some cadets to get in some trouble when they graduate, because they aren't taught what to do with free time and not being told what to do every minute.

True but more rare than you make it sound. Most make good decisions. Day is structured, but people find a way to blow things off and have fun.
