replies: text: "they are more appropriately called service academies, since the term "military" is usually reserved for the army." this is wrong, surely? Red7 15:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

text: What's wrong with it? It's entirely correct. In the UK, "military" is rarely used to refer to any service except the Army. -- Necrothesp 13:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This is a dispute about how The Citadel (military college) should be listed in relation to other military colleges and colleges with corps of cadets. 17:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: COMMENT:
I see the point on both sides of this heated discussion.  However, after checking reliable sources, I've found that The Citadel does maintain both a "cadet corps" and a civilian student population.  Both the cadets and civilian students attend classes on campus and both groups are instructed by Citadel professors.  Although they are slightly different in size and appearance, both the civilian and cadet students graduate with "Citadel" diplomas.  Based on this information, it is my opinion that the school should not be listed with the US Service Academies or the Virginia Military Institute, which enroll only cadets pursuing bachelor degrees.  One more interesting note is that while I was inquiring and learning about the military colleges in the US, I found a marked similarity between Norwich University in Vermont and the Citadel in South Carolina.  The "cadet corps" at the schools and the number of civilian students at the schools are nearly identical.  In addition to being very similar in size and composition, the freshman initiation systems and the organization of their "cadet corps" are very similar as well.  North Georgia Military College also has a great deal in common with these two schools.  I also found that the Texas A&M and Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets also share many similarities.  Any thoughts on other similarities between these very similar schools?Profjob 18:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ANOTHER COMMENT:
Another indicator that VMI should be categorized by itself or with the academies can be found in the latest issue of US News 2008.  This is how US News and the Carnegie Foundation classify the schools:
Rankings of Public Liberal Arts Colleges:
1. US Naval Academy
2. US Military Academy
3. Virginia Military Institute
The other "military colleges" are categorized as follows:
1.  National universities: Texas A&M, Virginia Tech
2.  Regional Master's Degree colleges: North: Norwich University, South: North Georgia College and the Citadel
Just some more indicators that VMI is different from the other "military college" type colleges out there.Jacapo1 15:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Please don't tell me for Russia's military academies, you've just got "Soviet Union". The Soviet Union collapsed years ago, and the Soviet Union was not Russia, it was a collection of eastern countries of which Russia was the biggest. Ryan4314 (talk) 05:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where's Russia? 

message: I don't believe any of these external links are necessary and in fact may destroy a neutral point of view.  Right now there are only links to specific academies of other countries, such as the South Korean and Thai academies.  I believe the best way to establish neutral point of view is to either eliminate all specific links or create one for every military academy in every country.  For now I will delete them, let me know if you disagree. --Banime (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

message: This should be an article discussing the history of military academies rather than a list. This and a couple articles could use some cleaning, so I'll be around soonly to have a look at tweaking/overhauling. --Izno (talk) 03:31, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree: at present, this is really more of a List of military academies by country. Maybe that portion of this article can be spun off & the remainder turned into a genuine article on military academies. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:31, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:   I see not much has changed in a decade. Yes, I agree; the list of military academies should be spun off into a separate article. - Sdkb (talk) 17:13, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wow. :) --Izno (talk) 17:44, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

text: List of military academies seems reasonable as a title; no need for a lengthy one. --Izno (talk) 17:48, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 12:47, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

text: Taking a look at it, someone did some work to split a portion to List of government-run higher-level national military academies. I think it would be a good idea to retitle that one per discussion and then merge the list here to that page. (Or the latter before the former, whatever floats boats.) It doesn't make sense to retain two separate lists on the point. --Izno (talk) 05:07, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

message: The section Pre-collegiate institutions comes across as propagandistic. Back in the '60s, it was not rare that a troublemaker would be given a choice by a judge to serve prison time or to enlist in the military, even though I've been told that this was illegal. Similarly, an "incorrigible" boy (for delinquency, truancy, rape, or fighting) might be transferred to a military academy. The section denies this, offering up only a memoir as a countercase.Weeb Dingle (talk) 20:41, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
