Tucked in the hills overlooking the Hudson River in upstate New York is The United States Military Academy at West Point.
Founded in 1802, West Point is the oldest of the five service academies and has produced some of the Army's top-tier, such as General George S. Patton and 34th President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Cadets at West Point receive a full academic scholarship in exchange for a five-year commitment to serve as active duty soldiers in the Army.
Upon graduation cadets receive the gold bar of a Second Lieutenant.
From academics to athletics to extracurriculars, one day at West Point could look like an entire month on anyone else's calendar.
