My portal has the same thing, and I have already accepted my nomination, so I am not sure what it is about. :eek:

If a soldier has earned the Sergeant Audie Murphy medal has a NCO prior to attending West Point, is he allowed to wear it at West Point or as an officer, since he has rightfully earned it? I have tried looking in regulation but cannot find anything for it. edit: For clarification, this medal...

Good idea, and thanks for sharing your information!

I had to look it up, and what I found is that it is a maximum of a $35,000 loan at 0.5% interest. I don't think that is bad at all, and as long as one is responsible and analyzes their wants v. needs, they should be fine. :thumb:

It couldn't hurt! If you can show documented proof that your condition has improved, it should help. I was medically DQ'd last year, so I understand the frustration of reapplying for that sole purpose. Good luck!

Be careful with this. As a Reservist, I have been hearing that the number of mobilizations have been rising for Reservists (not just for deployment, but to mobilize to a unit that helps improcess soldiers returning from war). In my unit alone, 3-4 different soldiers would be mobilized in...

Hawk, thanks for sharing all your insight with us! :thumb:

It sounds like it matches exactly with the Army PT test standards, and you can find this just by a quick Google search of 'army PT scores.':thumb:

I've read from the link someone posted above that all of the 'club' type sports provide these, although it shouldn't be a deciding factor in picking a sport :)

I have a few questions regarding sports to those already in USMA, or know the answer. Is there a definitive list of the activities you can do for your 'sport'? I heard about rock climbing, but I was also wondering if any MMA-type fighting was a sport allowed. Also, the sport I would be...

In a Word Document, you can find that somewhere in Tools> Word Count- it should state how many characters you have typed as well. Also, they are all the same length-2,500 characters :thumb:

As a member of the military, you are automatically put into review for a spot at USMAPS if you don't get an appointment, so there is a bright side :smile: Maybe you can consider raising your SAT scores some more. What were yours? To compare, I got a nomination with 1810 total (610, 600, 600...

You are right, a Ranger tab won't help you with a math question. However, I was just making some suggestions to Soldiers for things they can do extra, as everyone, military or not, should already know to be improving their SAT scores. :thumb: Also, any Soldier applying is automatically...

Hello, I am a newly appointed candidate and I thought I might share some of my military accomplishments so as to give suggestions to other Soldiers who might are looking to apply as well. Here are a few things I have done in the military as well as explanations as to why I think they might be...
