If you have about an hour a day to devote to strength and conditioning, I would highly recommend Military Athlete. The workouts are targeted at developing strength, stamina, workout capacity, and durability specifically for the military. Unfortunately, the Operator Sessions cost $25.00 a...

When General MacArthur was Superintendent, he would often invite Firsties over to his house for dinner. One evening after dinner, he showed them a room which was identical to a cadet's room. He told them he would sleep on the same bed as they do because "to be able to lead men, you have to...

It doesn't specify in the packet, but from what I've read, khaki pants/shorts and a polo are appropriate. That's what I intend to wear, and I think the same will be fine for you.

I was just curious what time everyone is planning to arrive for Session 1 tomorrow. I decided to come a day early and stay at the Marriot located next to the airport. If anyone happens to be in the hotel, let me know!

If I go Army, I could take a branching detail into the infantry like scoutpilot said. Plus, I have a feeling if I attend USMA, I'll have no desire to enter the Corps by the time of graduation. lol Once again, thank you for the replies. They are very helpful.

I'm definitely interested in the intelligence gathering portion. For some background information, I'm primarily leaning toward intelligence because I hope to start a career in the CIA after service. I realize HUMINT may be better for this career path, but I've always wanted to experience the...

Scoutpilot, the MOS is a Ground Intelligence Officer (0203). AKH, it's funny you brought up what I had said considering I had trouble myself selecting which word I wanted to use. I used "accomplish" because of USMA offering a major I am considering and military training such as jump school that...

After reviewing what both USMA and USNA have to offer, I feel that West Point better suits what I wish to accomplish in several aspects. However, I still desire to become a Marine Corps officer. I have a long line of family history serving in the USMC, and it also offers an MOS I'm interested...

I received my acceptance letter to Session 3 on March 12. I'll be coming from Montana's District At-Large. When replying, please update the following list with your name, state, and session preference: Session One: usna2016 – NJ Session Two: ahaimoud94 – CA Hopefulmidclass2016 – AL Apache –...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe there is a scholarship for SLS. You must make all of the payments on your own. However, you could hold community fundraisers, which I intend to do, such as raffle drawings, selling food, etc. I'm sure the locals would be more than happy to assist...

Not necessarily. I have a friend who received scores very similar to yours, and he was accepted.

Funny thing, I always wondered the same thing. I never thought of it as plausible though just for the fact it was a video game. And the USSOCOM isn't the only unit that goes far in terms of realism. The 15th MEU(SOC) follows the Marine Corps to the tee. Anyway, I'll stop there. I'm starting to...

I don't believe you can ever actually determine how competitive a state may or may not be. There are too many factors such as population, number of districts, number of retrospective appointees, etc. Then again, despite what I've said, maybe you can determine, in your own opinion, how...

I believe that I heard, if not read, that the pattern you linked to above (MultiCam) will never be worn in the United States. The pattern was designed only to be worn while in Afghanistan, and the ACU to remain the uniform worn in the US. However, as Jasondavid92 mentioned, somewhere in the...
