So I did sign the document saying I would go Marine Corps (ground). This however does not lock me into Marine Ground. That statement is only if they need me. So I could still very easily go intelligence, or Navy restricted line. On the other hand, having signed the document, they could...

No one is actually colorblind at the academy, everyone is color vision deficient and people just refer to it as color blindness so unfortunately unless you are retested and it is deamed the first test was just a mistake you will compete with the other applicants.

I got a color blindness waiver (class of 2015- yes I am one of those scum of the earth plebe things), but the waiver process is not much fun. Send them and email telling them you need one (they should already know this) but they will make sure are in the running for one. From there you can do...

Plebes continue to fall so lets not count just yet. Unfortunately a classmate of mine just DORed today.

Do not worry, I have not received anything yet in your neighbor state (the great state of Nebraska).

I have no actual knowledge of this so this is just a thought, but I imagine it has to do with what company you are in (ie the 1st company will probably receive theirs before 30th company). And maybe location if you are receiving it through the mail.

With all the things they suggest to bring for I-Day (ie extra under shirts, socks, etc.) are you bringing them all? And how many of each? And are you having these things send in care packages or just bringing them the first day?

Life Insurance Is anyone getting the life insurance? I do not think I will be getting it.

On the History Validation part of the cabs.usna.edu website it says "Please list all college history courses you have taken. (Not high-school AP courses.)" If I was dual enrolled at a college does that count as a college history course?

Hahah yes! This should make for an interesting time for your plebes.

Just was what I was hoping for. I mean what new plebe would not want their detailer to just have returned from Leatherneck?

Okay thank you very much. haha yeah plebe summer should most certainly... be an interesting experience. Perhaps you son (or daughter) will get to yell incessantly at me this summer.

For the Police record check thing, do I need to make two copies of that sheet and give one to state, one to city, and one to county?

Try to know your rates and study them when you have time, but do not worry about them. You are there to have fun, do not stress over them because no matter what the detailers will get you or someone on the bulk head near you and punish you however they see fit. Plus in the grand scheme of...

I know aviation is out, but I did pass my remidial color blind test. Does this give me anymore options, or are my selections the same as someone completely color blind. I know at West Point I am qualified for anything (besides flying).
