YORKTOWN SENIOR HEADS TO WEST POINT
Yorktown’s Abby Mynes, a Summit Christian Academy senior, is preparing to attend the United States Military Academy at West Point.
She was inspired by her retired Air Force parents but chose the structured, challenging military path independently.
Mynes was accepted into West Point, the Merchant Marine Academy, and the U.S. Air Force Academy.
She decided on West Point after visiting both it and the Air Force Academy.
Initially considering a pilot career, she is now interested in special operations.
She feels prepared but nervous for the upcoming Cadet Basic Training, which includes physical, mental, and emotional challenges.
Mynes is motivated by the idea of service to country and fighting for national pride in her generation.
Upon graduating, she will become an officer in the U.S. Army.
