Also, even if you're a legacy, in the service academies you still have to pass the entrance exams. The legacy thing gets you a leg-up afterward.

Finally, do you think his dad's having been a legacy is why he was an outstanding naval officer? Or was it despite having been a legacy?

Legacy/Race is an advantage, why else have those questions
on admissions forms? Wrong: legacy gets you a leg-in at the start.

Sure Legacy/Minority students can be at the top of their class.

Pilot spots are competitive, top of the class/legacy gets first chance at
the flight spots. Everyone wants to fly jets, they are the rock stars
of the carriers.
