McCain, the son and grandson of Navy admirals, graduated 894th of 899 in his
Naval Academy class in 1958.  His class rank was low due to poor grades for
acedemics, conduct and leadership, which reflected his sloppy appearance,
rebellious attitude, and poor relations with his company officer.  

A free spirit, McCain chafed under the strict rules of the academy. He
maintained his membership in the "Century Club" each year by earning more than
100 demerits. McCain's bio in the academy yearbook read: "Sturdy
conversationalist and party man. John's quick wit and clever sarcasm made him a
welcome man at any gathering. His bouts with the academic and executive
departments contributed much to the stockpiles of legends within the hall."  

He had neither been ordered to go there by his parents nor discussed
alternatives; as he later wrote, "I remember simply recognizing my eventual
enrollment at the Academy as an immutable fact of life, and accepting it
without comment."
