    A-Day 2011

    Distance from West Point It appears the directions for A day say that while cadets can go to the hotels of parents up to 75 miles away, they can only eat at restaurants within "walking privileges" which is basically Highland Falls and Ft. Montgomery. Or, they can eat at the restaurant within...

    Socks for BCT

    Boot Sock Liners DS has some olive drab boot socks he loves too but we read boot sock Liners are recommended. We've searched online but most look too thick so we are wondering if someone can post a link to liners that are good for summer. Also, this year's packing list for Beast says "v. Extra...

    To and From Newark Airport

    What is the best way to EWR by train? In case they have leave (one per semester for plebes) on a weekend when there is no bus, what is the best route by public transport to EWR? I noticed that 2010 Christmas bus schedule did not have any on Sunday after the last TSEE either.

    Socks for BCT

    Anyone have a link (Amazon?) for boot sock liners? I just want to be sure I understand the type. I was at Ft. Shafter in Hawaii and they didn't have any boot sock liners so we just bought boot socks with his boots. Are some thick and meant for cold weather? Which are best for Beast? Here are...

    boots!?!?

    Bought the Bates My DS bought the Bates :shake::thumb:. The local base AAFES ordered the Bates and Belleville 310 in for us. The latter are skinnier around the ankle and the material is more canvas like. The Bates appear to be the stiffest around the ankle, yet still light. Thought that was...

    boots!?!?

    Can't find the shoes/boots on the Bates website I can find the Belleville 310 boot and Belleville Khyber Mountain Hybrid TR360 on the armedforcesmcss.net website, no problem. However, I'm not sure about the Bates M-8 Desert Boot. There is a "M-8 Tactical Boot" but it doesn't say "Desert" and...

    Where can you leave gear only allowed after A Day?

    The list of stuff allowed on R day is pretty restrictive, like no cell phones. Is it possible to leave that stuff in a locker until when it is allowed? Might want to bring some helpful books like reference books or some language books, digital language dictionary for use when classes start. When...

    When do they test you for validating out of a class?

    Is it just as Beast starts? During, after Beast? My son may be able to test out of differential calculus and beginning computer science. If he stayed in and repeated, he could cruise a bit, but downside is he won't have as much room in his schedule to take higher level interesting classes later.

    How long until the rest of the Information Packet materials arrive?

    Would be great to have a printed version My printer is about to give out and I would love to have a hardcopy of this brochure. It has a lot of information and I keep opening it up on my computer but can't make notes there. Does anyone know if they will be mailing a hardcopy? In that case I...

    For fun...you need to see this.

    That guy wins for having the best toys! If it only had an onboard camera, it would qualify as a drone. It begs the question: as drone technology gets less expensive and commonplace, Homeland Security will have to register buyers at point of sale and regulate them. Sorry to get all serious...

    Air Force Summer seminar

    Do more applicants get admitted earlier (Feb) rather than at the end? I know that for colleges with rolling admissions, usually the early bird gets the worm and spots get tight toward the final deadline. How about for the Air Force Summer Seminar?
