also, you guys will all be wearing the same issued outfits, so no polish jerseys unfortunately =(

the way they did CFA at SLS last year was pretty simple, they set us up in groups of 5-10ish (im not actually sure the exact number) and you were not necessarily with your squad or platoon. you went through the events with your group and cadets were at each station. for the mile, you run on a...

so ive heard a lot about getting "passes" to leave for the weekend. as an incoming plebe and during the rest of the 4 years, how often, on average, are they given out and what are they used for typically? thanks!

what are the chances, if any, of getting onto the xc/track team without being recruited? i have heard of a period of time during beast where that kind of thing happens like tryouts or whatnot, but it is a bit unclear to me as to what exactly is the procedure any help?

im assuming the running groups consist of males and females, is this correct? if so, whats generally the percentage of girls in this black group? i ran a 2 mile last week just under 13 minutes, so would this place me in the black group?

for people who havent submitted their preferences yet, i recommend history. if it is the same deal as last year (which isnt guarenteed) it involves taking a boat to constitution island and hiking around while learning the history surrounding west point.

thanks for your reply! I recieved it as a child in Korea but in incorrectly spaced intervals because i was basically on rush delivery to the US. They ran a titer to test my immunity and i unfortunately am not immune so i guess it didnt work.

I just went to my doctor to get the immunization form for accepted candidates filled out. I have not had the Hepatitus B vaccine which the form says is "required prior to admission". I recieved the first dose of the Hep-B vaccine that day but need 2 more, one in a month which is not a problem...

either im not smart enough to figure it out, or they did it pretty randomly when i went last summer. they evenly distributed the girls but no other pattern like alphabetically or geographically.

i didnt have an LOA and never recieved any letter regarding being qualified so i was sweating in your position not long ago. then i got the acceptance package, so no worries!

Congrats! I'm Class of 2014 from Maryland as well, where in MD are you from? I am from Dulaney High in Timonium...

i have already been accepted to USMA therefore am already Dodmerb Q'ed hopefully the packet comes in the mail soon and clears things up! thanks for everyone's help!

thanks for the information! i have no problems eating and no TMJ issues and im sure it will not interfere with CBT, so hopefully this will not affect becoming a cadet at USMA. just_a_mom: thank you and i will be contacting my regional commander. and just in case and out of curiousity...

I recently recieved an appointment to USMA and am wondering about the further medical and dental qualifications that you have to have prior to or during CBT, in particular the dental. i remember seeing something about this elsewhere in the forum but i cant seem to find it... I have an...
