True - military came out, met to say service academy. Can't think of a better place for a cyclist student (Pepperdine is close). I didn't mean to suggest it was hard. I doubt much is as hard as cycling. I don't suppose the other schools are much different. I think all have toned it down a bit.
And thank you for your service.
I'm just kidding when I bash on USAFA....I'm just conditioned to never say nice things about them or navy. You're right, it's definitely been toned down across all the academies (for better or worse), but in the end they're all great places, and I'd advise you to encourage your son to take full advantage of all the opportunities he'll have there over his 4 years. It's way too easy to get into a nice comfy groove at those places and end up missing out on some once in a lifetime opportunities (kinda like how I passed up marching in a Presidential inauguration parade). That may mean he's off the bike for a while, but IMO, it's worth it.
