Sandhurst

[tomahawk6]

I saw a 3 part youtube video about Sandhurst and afterward I thought less of Sandhurst.There was a distinction made with so called confirmed cadets getting special treatment.Essentially the person in question should have been dropped due to poor fitness but since he was approved by the Household Cavalry as one of their future officers they bent over backwards for him.

So why should Sandhurst be any different from peer organizations like WestPoint, RMC and St Cyr?

i doubt a marginal performer would get a pass at the Point.

Oh, don't worry, you guys are like the rest of us.  I've seen many marginal performers make it through the US PME system....

I do agree with you about marginal performers,but we commission around 7000 officers a year.
