Typed in military boot socks in Thorlo site and ordered whatever black or green they had. In one style the size was no longer in stock so made it easier on choosing! As for white crew, son picked up a pack of 6 white socks from Walmart- mid calf and cushioned.

DS was non-select for SLE/SLS last summer. During the first week of July last year he emailed his regional team about not being able to access his portal. He was able to access his portal later that day and completed everything including MALO interview by second week of August. DS reporting...

I am also not sure about question 1 but for your other question suggest you contact your local American Legion Post and ask them about Boys State slots. Our American Legion Post immediately gave DS sponsorship and paid all registration fees. Afterwards DS attended one of their monthly meetings...

Congratulations GreyHogs, A memorable journey to become part of the Long Grey Line! Congratulations and thank you for sharing! I do not envy the task your DS has in front of him to complete the requirements on the portal but all the loose ends will come together. DS fellow USMA 2017!

DS took CFA at NASS last summer. When he opened up his application to USMA he contacted the Admissions Officer in charge of our region via email and asked if USMA could use his CFA scores from USNA. The admissions office contacted USNA admissions and obtained the scores.

My DS only took CFA at NASS and was able to transfer it to West Point. I am sure if he had applied to USAFA they would have accepted his CFA scores as well. DS was also told right away that he passed by his NASS squad leader. ROTC testing is different- only sit-ups, pushups and run. DS...

I am no expert in track times but if you want to get looked at by the track coaches do not be afraid to contact them. If possible put together video footage of a couple of your races with times. Also send in your current GPA and an unofficial transcript, any PSAT/SAT or ACT test scores you...

DS had his applications to USNA, USMA and AROTC completed and submitted mid August. He was also able to complete DoDMERB physical in August. Only thing he had to do in September was BGO interview. DS was relieved he had those out of the way prior to school starting. He applied to his civilian...

Across the river and a little north is Hyde Park. FDR's house and Eleanor's cottage is there. Also the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) is a must. Students train to be premier chefs. DH said he never went during his 4 yrs at the academy and it took 30th reunion for us to finally dine...

College Savings account I have a 529 college savings account for my DS and I am allowed to take the $2000 from his account without incurring the 10% withdrawal penalty but I would have to claim the gains on that amount as other income on my taxes. SAs are not eligible institutions since no...

Yes, every New Cadet Candidate must have this deposited by June 15 (for class of 2017). There is an option to pay in installments but must be fully funded by 6/15.

Congratulations! So happy for you Mooradian! Congratulations!! Will your Dad be sitting on the Army side on Dec. 14? Go ARMY, Beat Navy!:biggrin:

Best wishes for your DS to get his plan A or B. My DS commented last night that out of the 30 or so candidates in his NASS company only 3 received USNA appointments and he is the only one to receive USMA appointment. All the rest have ROTC scholarships. He was surprised.

We attended closing day activities and it wrapped up around 12:30.
