    Boots/Blisters

    I really wish this site had a "Like" or Endorse button! My retiree DH has basically broken ankles from running in boots 30 years ago. Thankfully, the military got smart!

    Boots for Beast and Garrison

    Hi! The Official Boot Letter has not been published. The moderator of the Facebook official West Parents of 2017 Moms and Dads page posted the types of boots and low quarters to buy. If you have a military ID, you can go ahead and get the shoes. If you don't, the boot letter will give your...

    Visiting after acceptance

    Was he a recruited athlete? The Admissions website says: •Come for an overnight visit, if you have applied and been accepted, or if you’ve received a Letter of Encouragement (LOE) from Admissions. It's nice they offer this. My husband couldn't go on the day visit, so this will be...

    Any tips for day visit

    Soccmomer: The RC's have a template, but her's was pretty much just like it. I mirrored it after mine which WORD used to have on a template. Internet has templates for free. Besides POC info and Candidate # and class year, if you have it, she had: Objective: Seeking an appointment to The...

    Visiting after acceptance

    I don't think overnighters are allowed until after the offer. We scheduled an overnight after our daughter accepted her appointment. Will be up there on 18 April. The day visit is really short. So, this gives them a better idea of what to expect.

    Scoutpilot:You don't know everyone's situation. Some kids have grown up in flip flops, maybe never worn boots. Have bad feet, wide feet, narrow feet. You can always read another thread if you are tired of this one. Personally, I don't intend to read this thread next year when my DD is a Yearling!

    Thanks for the info from a female perspective! I was leaning towards the Khybers after reading the male perspectives, but definitely now...I really appreciate all the current and former cadets posting information. The more information, the better! :yllol:

    Sorry, I don't see how to PM (don't post much), but I don't know what would be private. If a female would like to share what boots were good for them during CBT, I/we would appreciate it!:rolleyes:

    Any tips for day visit

    I highly recommend trying to get your 15 minutes with the BOD. On our visit, he told us how to strengthen my DD application, identified erroneous information already in her file that was submitted by her HS. It also put a face to the name. The RC does not make the decision alone. Having a 2nd...
