Yea, if you can I would return those other shoes. You won't really be able to use them.

thanks AF

Maybe a current cadet could help me out with this - what kinds of electronics are allowed at West Point? I'm going next year, and I've been wondering for awhile.I think my squad leader at SLS mentioned that he had his Xbox 360 with him - can you really have a gaming console? I have also heard...

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I'll look into it more before I take any kind of action.

"Sapper School - This very specialized training in engineering [breeching operations patrolling, etc.] is afforded to a very limited number of Cadets each year. To qualify, Cadets must complete a pre-qualification course during the second semester of their Yearling year. This school is...

coffeecup is exactly right. I just checked my portal to get the dates right - I got an LOA in early November, got my nomination in early December, it showed up in my portal four days later, my appointment showed up in the portal like a week after that, and I got my folder in the mail like a week...

Good point. Also - if you pass sapper school while at West Point you actually earn your sapper tab, which is pretty cool. My squad leader did his CTLT with Army SF - I've heard of other people getting the opportunity to do theirs with the Rangers. That all sounds sweet.

Hey Racer1, When I was at SLS last summer I talked with a Major in the History Department about this subject for a while. He said that history DOES accept AP classes on some tests if you get a 5 or sometimes a 4. Previously I had heard that West Point does not accept them at all. If you took...

I quote from the Instructions for Applicants Offered Admission: "At West Point cadets are not charged for tuition, room, board, medical and dental expenses. Cadets are responsible for certain costs, including academic supplies, required equipment, a personal computer, personal services, and...

Well, one great way to get yourself separated is lying, so if he at any point lied about going to NYC or lied about not knowing that receiving a ride was against the rules I could certainly see him getting separated.

This is true. I went last year and we got name tags that had our schedules right on them. SLS is a good time, and the Under Armor stuff they gave us was REALLY nice.

Yep. Ours - Arizona - was at the Ritz in Phoenix. It was a good time.

Hey brave, I'm going to the 3rd session in a few weeks, maybe I'll see you there. But do you remember how you got your number? email? letter? I'm trying to find mine. Thanks bud!
