    ACT w/o Writing?

    To Accept or Reject

    Service Academy upperclass are pretty resourceful, so I wouldn't put it past anyone to be identified as a "problem child" from their forum postings before they even show up....and even if they do not, all of this "Me, Me, Me" attitude that I am hearing from MakoGroup and HeWantsTheBFE will...

    Pertinence of being a certified private pilot to admissions

    It continues to dumbfound (and frustrate me) how a small number of KP alumni tend to hijack a large number of threads on this forum in an apparent attempt to turn the academy into a branch of Nassau County Tecnical Institute. The place is a military academy and a service academy (there is no...

    mental troubles

    ....and that type of answer, my friends, is what will get you tagged at USNA as a "sea lawyer". The only thing worse than sea lawyers are indecisive plebes and helicopter parents.

    mental troubles

    Yeah good one, laugh it up. Have you ever stood at attention at a memorial service far from home for a 19 year old that you were responsible for. You will owe them your total commitment. Time for a reality check fellas.

    mental troubles

    Why don't we all just ahave a group hug....I've got to be a little sympathetic to RATRAT77. You all have just taken a spot from someone who wants to be where you are, and wants to be a leader of men and women. You will be called on very shortly to make life and death decisions that will...
