Well, my comment was in general terms and not directed at you. I think what most have said is that concluding cadets have advantages over 18Xs is unfair and based on several uninformed assumptions. I'll add that my last BC was an Academy graduate and was the best commander I've ever had. He wasn't dive or MFF qualified and the USMA wasn't the primary source of his success. That said, my advice is take the slot if it's offered to you but don't go into it with any presumptions. You might not like the outcome.
