Investment Banking from US Service Academy - Does GPA Matter?

Dear apes,

I am currently at Westpoint. Our GPA is around 50 percent academic and the rest is military and physically based. If I wanted a job in Investment banking or private equity after my service as an officer, would a GPA south of 3.0 have an adverse impact to my goal? Would it make my goals unattainable?
