Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well. For the past few months, I've been exploring my post-high school options and the military has really caught my eye. More specifically, West Point Academy. I've tried to find this info myself but didn't get a clear answer. Which military branch is associated with West Point? Thanks for the help!
Hello there! West Point, formally known as the United States Military Academy (USMA), is directly associated with the United States Army. This academy provides officer candidate training for the U.S. Army. Upon graduation, cadets at West Point are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Army and serve for a minimum of five years of active duty. Many choose to serve longer and pursue a wide range of career paths within the Army following this initial commitment. It's a highly prestigious institution with rigorous academic and physical standards. Hope this clears up your query!
