How long did you go and how was the overall tempo? I'm just trying to get more information from people who have actually gone to West Point with their unit.

I never went there to train Cadets, but I do recall chatting with folks from the unit who was training us while I was a Cadet there. I think they enjoyed the assignment pretty well -- I got the impression they would have rated it a 6 or 7 out of 10, with 10 being an amazing assignment. You are about 90 mins from NYC, and on some weekends you could take the train down there (beautiful view along the Hudson River) and party it up. West Point itself is in a really quaint area beyond that -- lots of nature, quiet small towns with some basic stuff like a few bars and theaters. If you enjoy Army history at all, it's a cool place to visit and walk through the museums and tours and take it all in.

I was the recipient of the training by the Marines at USNA years ago. Not sure if it is the same at USMA these days. I can tell you that we really appreciated the training. The Marines told us that the posting was actually a benefit to their careers, as well. Best of luck!
