Go Army, March 2010, VA

Highly recommend the G-Stock, it's issued to the US Navy SEALs, honestly, I just finished a book in them and what they are issued by their logistical support unit. Inexpensive and strong. My son has had one for years. But in all honesty, I'm getting him a Suunto Vector. It's a bit more, about...

I'm seeing discussions about Leathermans, lighters, head lights and electric razors. I've yet to see a list from Admissions, other then the few items like bring a razor, photo of mom, etc. About 8 items. My concern is that Leatherman's contain a knife. Lighters, headlights and a Leatherman...

The instructions from USMA are pretty straight forward. Seems all you need to bring is a toothbrush, standard watch, a picture of Mom and the shoes you get a AFEES. Other then that, your given pretty much everything else, down to the the brasso and shoe polish.:thumb:

Go Army Received and accepted March 8, 2010

A good watch recommendation: G-shock from Casio. The US Navy ( I know) SEALs get issued them. cheap, has a good green light at night and many features and takes a beating. For those who need it all. The Suunto Wrist Top Computer w/ GPS. Just out, this has it all from built in GPS...

Newburgh is actually more then 15 minutes away and over the mountain. More like 30 minutes and don't forget all the cars having to get searched at gate security that day. Thayer hotel is the best bet. And once you confirm your appointment, they offer a deal of R-day, A-Day and preference for...

Strangely, we got accepted today in a round about way. We got a letter from our son's Congressman congratulating him on his appointment. His Liaison Officer confirmed the appointment, but said the USMA letter was supposed to have gotten here before that of the Congressional letter. Blame the...

I agree, many just don't know and sign up for some other college, even after getting out of the service. Maybe then need to advertise more during the televising of the Army Navy game

When should those at USMA Prep and AOG Civil Prep know if they have been accepted... I know this is an on going question, but you would think if USMA wanted them enough for to be chosen for the Prep programs, they would be notified early on instead of enduring that long and painful wait in...

How do you download the list.

Our son got an AOG scholarship, has great grades and has a nomination. How long and what are the chances. This is the second time around.

Book a room now. The Thayer Hotel on the grounds of USMA books rooms early. They have a package deal, which is not cheap, which includes R Day, A day, Parents weekend and most important, gives you preference for rooms on Graduation week in 2014. I know, it sounds strange booking rooms 4 years...
