History Main / MilitaryAcademy

* The Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, which has trained officers for many countries.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHerorsTrailsOfColdSteel'', the students of Class VII attend Thors Military Academy, a prestigious Military academy in the [[VestigalEmpire Erebonian Empire.]] [[spoiler: It also helps to prepare them for [[CivilWar what's to come.]]]]

* ''VideoGame/SenNoKiseki'' The students of Class VII attends Thors Military Academy. In order to prepare them for what's to come.

* ''Film/PrivateBenjamin''

* ''Film/CarryOnSergeant'' is set in a National Service camp, in which a bunch of {{hypochondriac}}s and weaklings are reluctantly sent and are constantly shouted at by the power-hungry corporal and captain.

** There are a ridiculous number of other senior officer academies ''alone''--the USSR had [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_military_academies more]] than any other country, and an even greater number of junior schools. Russia is left with far more than they could realistically need. On the other hand, Soviet Army ''did'' need much more officers than it's common, because due to lack of the [[SergeantRock professional NCO corps]], many positions that in other armies would've been filled by [=NCOs=] were considered an officer's billet, and on the other side the Soviet standing army was gigantic.
** Undergraduate officer training and officer training school are ususlly the same thing under the Soviet doctrine, called a ''voyennoe uchilische'' (military teaching facility). The military academy is another beast of another stripe, attended by senior officers and providing doctorates in military sciences, necessary if you want to be a general. There are also military schools attached to civilian universities, called ''voyennaya kafedra'', a kind of ROTC that train MildlyMilitary {{Ensign Newbie}}s that go then straight to reserve; after the fall of the Union, they aren't as numerous and remain only in several universities.

* Frunze Military Academy for the [[UsefulNotes/RedsWithRockets Soviet]] / [[UsefulNotes/RussiansWithRustingRockets Russian Officers]]
** The Frunze is a staff college for long-term career officers, which is kind of a Ph.D course for officers, and, indeed, many of its alumni get a degree in military sciences. Lowest rank for admission is Major. Common officer training schools are much more numerous.
*** And there is the Voroshilov General Staff Academy attended by the "best and the brightest" of the Soviet/Russian military. Students are admitted in the ranks of lieutenant colonel, colonel, and one-star general.

** The Royal Air Force and [[BritsWithBattleships Royal Navy]] get RAFC Cranwell and Britannia Royal Naval College (HMS Dartmouth) respectively.

* For [[YanksWithTanks the US armed forces]]:

* Frunze Military Academy for the [[RedsWithRockets Soviet]] / [[RussiansWithRustingRockets Russian Officers]]

** Dzerzhinsky Military Academy of Rocket Forces, now Peter the Great Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Force, for staff officers in the [[FromRussiaWithNukes Strategic Rocket Forces]].

* In [[GaulsWithGrenades France]]:

* The [[AussiesWithArtillery Australian Defence Force]] Academy

* The Royal Military College of Canada, in Kingston, ON, trains officers for the whole [[CanucksWithChinooks Canadian Forces]]. Now there's also the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean (English: Royal Military Collage Saint-Jean).

* The Maanpuolustuskorkeakoulu (National Defence Academy) in Helsinki, [[FinnsWithFearsomeForests Finland]], originally established in 1788 and in 1919 in its current form. It is divided in three branches: ''Maasotakoulu'' (Land Warfare School) educates Army cadets, ''Merisotakoulu'' (Sea Warfare School) the Naval cadets and ''Ilmasotakoulu'' the Air Force cadets.

* Any Ninja Village worth their salt now has a competent Ninja Academy in ''{{Naruto}}''. Training as a ninja is voluntary, but it most often starts at a young age (The Rookie Nine enrolled when they were eight years old). Though, there seems to be a lacking of [[ThereAreNoTherapists therapists]] for students who need it, though one (Naruto) is a pariah of the village, and no one would have a problem with the other (Sasuke} trying to take revenge on the person who killed his entire family. Tobirama Senju was the Hokage who founded the first ever Ninja Academy too, which quickly spread to all five nations.

* The StarWarsExpandedUniverse sometimes features military academies, usually those belonging to the Empire. Just how Rebels get trained isn't often shown; most characters we get to know tend to have gone through the Imperial system or sometimes a neutral third-party state's equivalent before lighting out and signing on with the Rebellion, and being LaResistance and therefore somewhat MildlyMilitary in character -not to mention being [[NoBudget chronically short of funds]] most of the time- the Rebels might not actually ''have'' an equivalent.

* In the {{Daria}} ExpandedUniverse (specifically, the FanFic series 'Legion of Lawndale Heroes'), there is the United States Academy for Extranormal Studies. The academy (or 'the Axe' as it's also known) also incorporates elements of AcademyOfAdventure, EducationThroughPyrotechnics (read up on ''Zero Area'', where the REALLY powerful students train), MeasuringDay (the word for this is 'Ow'), SuperheroSchool and WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld (where '' 'The Alliance' '' comes in).

** Navy here. OCS for Navy or Marines is not a really a school in any sense. Its much, much more akin to Recruit Training. Navy Officers and Marines don't really get trained, just selected, conditioned and tested. For example, a Marine will not even fire a live round all of OCS.

** United States Military Academy, West Point, New York: Most definitely ''not'' ever called the United States Army Academy, despite it being exclusively for the training of Army officers. (Nonetheless, West Point's sports teams are referred to as "Army".) So named because it's by far the oldest of the US military academies, and there was no expectation at its founding that additional ones would later exist.

* ''Literature/EmpireFromTheAshes'': Main protagonist Colin [=McIntyre=] is stated to have graduated from the US Naval Academy in the first book. They create an all new Imperial Academy in the third book .

*** Then you have the Royal Military College, RMC Duntroon, which is the officer academy for the Royal Australian Army

* In ''TheForeverWar'', officers learn to be officers via an UpgradeArtifact that downloads knowledge directly into their brain. It takes two weeks. Plus another four weeks to learn how to walk again.

* VideoGame/SenNoKiseki The students of Class VII attends Thors Military Academy. In order to prepare them for what's to come.

* You start out in one of these during the 'Chronicles of the Sword' custom player mode in ''SoulCalibur 3'.

* In ''HyakujitsuNoBara'', Klaus and Taki meet for the second first-time at the Luckenwalde military academy, which specializes in tank warfare. There is of course a DrillSergeantNasty and some other stock figures, though the focus is primarily on the duo.

** The Peristylium from ''VideoGame/{{Final Fantasy Type-0}}'' is said to be another military academy in the 'verse of ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', but this one looks to be stationary.

* Will/Ed in ''AdvanceWars: Dark Conflict'' (''DaysOfRuin'') (damn inconsistent dubs) was attending a military school before [[AfterTheEnd the meteor shower]] and was the only survivor.

* In ''MobileSuitGundamWing'', OZ both develops mobile suit technology, and also trains the larger Alliance Mobile Suit Troops (as well as its own) at its Lake Victory Academy [[spoiler: at least until a Gundam burns the academy to the ground]].

* ''TheNavyLark'' had a WholeEpisodeFlashback in which [[NoSenseOfDirection Navigation Officer]] Phillips was shown to have tried to join the army, but got lost on his way to Sandhurst (see RealLife) and ended up at Dartmouth and the Naval College there instead, and his training there.

* ''{{Annapolis}}'' depicts life in a military academy, although its portrayal is particularly inaccurate.
* ''AnOfficerAndAGentleman'' centers on a cadet at an Officer's Training School. The school in this film is an example of a school that commissions aviators but does not provide undergraduate academics.

* ''PrivateBenjamin''

* In ''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'', the Free Planets Alliance Officer Academy is one such institution, with prospective students enrolled as officer cadets and receive free undergraduate education, provided that they stay in the military upon graduation.

** Which is kind of a Ph.D course for officers, and, indeed, many of its alumni get a degree in military sciences. Lowest rank for admission is Major. Common officer training schools are much more numerous.
