    I have (quite) a few questions... :)

    Female Cadet here, class of 2016, so I've been around for a little while at least. First, showers depend on the barracks. most are community style, and open (trust me, this should be least of your worries..when you're dirty, all you want is to get clean and you put aside the fact that it's...

    The Beast

    ^ honestly if you just do your best, and help your classmates you'll be fine. Someone in your platoon sucks at running, stick with them and motivate. That same person might be the one pulling you over the 12 foot wall in the leaders reaction course, and teaching you calculus in August...

    A New Cadet with questions...

    Rather than explain, go to youtube and type R day USMA. The admissions dept puts out a ton of videos with what R day is and what it consists of. To prepare for R day, honestly the best advice is to take a deep breath, grit your teeth and just do what they tell you to. A day can only last...

    AFA Informant Program

    Some light shed (paraphrased): OSI does not release the names of the informants to anyone. It is like asking the president if he knows the names of the top FBI/CIA informants. It's not need to know. All informants are documented. There are no "secret" informants, It doesn't do much good to...

    MOH Controversy

    One thing i feel is important to remember is that memory is tricky. Words and actions mix with nightmares and feelings; details are twisted by adrenaline and a story is often only described through personal perspective. The fact that videos surfaced in this instance is good, it allows them to...

    Justice at West Point

    "Charles Clymer has an unknown axe to grind with guys at West Point. In almost three years here, I have literally never seen or heard anything that seriously crosses the SHARP line. While there are plenty of dirty jokes, that doesn't mean we are all sexual predators. There is a big difference...

    Justice at West Point

    You have to understand that that is the same reason that most females elect not to report. For fear that because something happened in the barracks, or they were drinking it would cause them to become in worse trouble than before, even if it was not their fault that something happened in the...

    Questions on Re-Organization Week

    Hello Sir/Ma'am, Let me see if I can tackle some of these questions for you. Although today was the "MarchBack" from CBT, most consider Acceptance day (This saturday) as the official end to beast. Care packages are welcome and encouraged, but be aware that with the beginning of the...

    Land Navigation during beast

    Our year did night land nav...but some companies didn't (weather dependent) They issue you a flashlight with a "red Light" but I brought a headlamp that had a red light on it that could be adjusted for brightness, and a white light function. It came in handy when trying to set up gear...

    Which academy is best for intelligence

    My father works with the Air Force office of special investigations, One thing he said is that the Air Force has in his opinion the most top secret intel,and the most "exciting". Just in OSI alone, most intel officers have at least a top secret, and many obtain an SCI (sensitive...

    Boots for Beast and Garrison

    for low quarters, I wear the lowest model "Caps" brand, in the same size as my regular shoes. I'm almost considering buying another pair of these, even though I'm allowed corframs because they have become so comfortable now. In the beginning though...that's another story. Something that...

    Need $ for admission?

    Hi, there is a $2000 dollar deposit that you can send to usma before you report for R day, it offsets the cost of your initial supplies and uniforms. This isn't necessary to do, your initial pay is $250 a month, and if you opt out of the deposit, USMA will loan you the money, and your...

    Paid tickets to military training?

    I meant benning...my dad is 82nd, so I naturally typed bragg. bluf: the question was answered with the fact that west point should pay for travel up to the per diem rate of duty station to duty station. so they will give me the cost of my ticket on a bus from wp to benning. which equals $56...

    Paid tickets to military training?

    Hello, question from a current cadet. I am attending Airborne school this summer, and ran into a problem which seemed odd to me. In the "actual" army, they pay for travel to and from your duty station to training. Coincedently your duty station usually is your home of record. For west...
