    Labeling items and placing items in plastic bags

    Once we arrive we will be given a new bag to put the items we brought into; hence the suggestion to bring our supplies in Ziplock bags for an easy transfer. Not quite sure about the labeling, but I have already written my last name in the tongue of my boots and on several of my more expensive...

    Tattoos Prior to R-Day

    Forget her? never. Take time daily to appreciate her life? probably not. Im not entirely convinced that it is a great idea, But the point I am trying to make is this: tattoos can be symbols of something their owners hold near and dear to their heart. They don't need to be visible to others to...

    Tattoos Prior to R-Day

    I'm considering getting a small tattoo in dedication of a family member who recently passed away. She was a huge part of my childhood; a woman who had an tremendous impact on my life. For me, the tattoo would be a daily reminder of the most valuable times I had with her. It would be a permanent...

    benefit of USAA

    I would agree that they aren't the best. However the professor was most likely making a blanket statement about all of the investment services at USAA. That being said, several of their mutual funds made Kiplinger's Top Ten Lists this year, they are well managed and have great returns, their...

    Back up plans

    None of those options will "guarantee" that you receive an appointment to West Point. The senior military colleges could be a good option for you, but your State university and ROTC will give you great opportunities as well. One of my friends went to a regular university for a year, didn't do...

    LOA stats

    Just to give you an idea: SAT: 2000 GPA: 95% Rank: top 10% (pretty competitive school) EC: multiple varsity sports, one varsity captainship, NHS Pres., other clubs, Full time summer job, ect.... If you want an LOA my best advice would be to get those SAT scores as high as possible.

    Worried

    I would agree with AKH. Go after school and talk to your teacher. Make an effort to show him/her that you really care about your grade. Show them that you are working hard and explain that you want to do everything in your power to raise your grade as much as possible. In my experience, 95%...
