FWIW, the cadets all graduate with a basic engineering major, and in addition to those courses they can specialize in something else.

My son, graduated in ‘90, chose International Relations as his “second major.

His junior year was a real killer. In addition to all the military courses, he had 7 full credit courses, in engineering and his specialty. They haven’t slacked off on the academics at all, contrary to what some think.

Some of the physical education requirements have been adjusted for women, but the women still have to most of everything the men do. Boxing, for example. I don’t think the women take that, but take some kind of karate/physical defense course that is equally tough.

If women were any good at fighting we would have had all women armies for the last 3000 years. Unfortunately they are not good at fighting so why do we waste time and money training them for the war occupation? And don't give me any of the usual exceptions to the rule they are so few it's ridiculous to mention them. I have not been impressed with some of these high ranking female officers that are trotted out at some of these press conferences they have. Not the sort of leaders we will need when the inevitable push comes to shove down the road.
