West Point is one of, if not the most prestigious schools in the military. It also holds a lot of weight in the civilian sector, especially if you are going into a leadership role. Someone has gift wrapped your future and set it in front of you. Jump on this!

Depends if you have a lot of drive to go to West Point. It is known that some of the best leaders come from that academy. A great benefit to you is that it is a full ride, but the 24-7 cadet lifestyle is not for everyone, which IMO is the reason why some get out after their obligation...or they know their skills/experience is more valuable outside.
Whatever decision you make....good luck bud!
