A lot I think is pressure from other parents and kids on same team..Once one goes they all try to go. Parents have egos the size of watermelons. Bigger then the kids in most cases. I am sure a majority of the kids that commit to our academy's will switch out. 14-15 year old boys are deciding they want to serve our country after schooling. A little young to make that call unless family is already in. I think it is being used to get offers from other schools
