Highly discouraged, at least it used to be. Used to be a Pass/Fail Academy and we had more than a few dozen "fail" with a 69.8 or 69.9. These are the same people that would go home for a long weekend and not study, etc.
Obviously things have changed, but I would still not recommend it. Trying to get checked out at A90, CLT and A80 was hard, but getting through the academy (remember at THAT time) was 10X's harder.

Hope this helps.
