Time has gone by, wouldnt you say . I had read from the book by gene Edwards Smith he would have easily gone to the u. S. Naval academy, but he was accepted at west point. He graduated 61st in a class of 164, so this is really openended to any one of you. He was a pretty average student. This is what made getting an aminus very difficult. Now we know the rest of the story. I do know he attended the general Staff Command College at leavenworth and he graduated first in his class on that one. He said that that was what really it was his paradigm shift to make the army and leadership his career. Prior to that, of course, we all know that he applied to annapolis first and it was for the Free Education because they came from very humble beginnings. Then he was too old because he worked to put his brother through school. Annapolis turned him down and he applied to west point and got that, so he wasnt really sure about what direction he wanted his career to take until he went to leavenworth.
