    Quick Questions about Packing

    Thanks for the reply forthosewelead! I've managed to fit most of the small items into a small pouch now! I'll be sure to other documents mentioned too now. They do say to bring copies of the Dental X-rays on the packing list so I'll just bring those just in case. I'll save some time and ask...

    Quick Questions about Packing

    I have a few quick questions about Packing for R-Day. Everyone suggests packing small items into ziplock bags, but would a small pouch also be acceptable? As I find I can fit more into the pouch and organize it better that way. But if the pouch itself would be confiscated then no point to...

    Wifi

    Speaking of iPads, would it be better to get the iPad with the cellular option then, or would just the WiFi suffice?

    AP Validation

    So if I scored only a 3 on AP English Language, should I try and retake it to get a 4 or 5? I'm also going to be taking the AP English Literature exam too, I'm unsure if that would help with validation.

    Received LOA but no nomination

    I believe the Vice President is still accepting nomination applications. Maybe you could try and get one from him? Those slots are probably very competitive, but its worth a shot. Are their any service connected nominations you could take advantage of? And here's a quote from West Point...

    Are LOEs mailed?

    I never received anything in the mail. All correspondence has been through the candidate portal or by email.

    Bodyfat Worksheet?

    I got the same worksheet. My admissions officer said any doctor, nurse, Army NCO or Commissioned Officer can complete it; he recommended going to an Army recruiter though since they do these all the time. Also, don't know if this applies to you, but he told me to just email him a scanned copy...

    Use Service Academy CFA in place of ROTC PFA?

    Thanks for the replies. I'll take the PFA then. I originally thought their might be a conversion factor used (like SAT and ACT tests), but I guess I'm wrong. Only reason I asked was because I saw some archived posts that did the same thing, might save some time. Oh well, after the CFA, should be...

    Use Service Academy CFA in place of ROTC PFA?

    I took the Service Academy CFA and sent those scores to USMA about 3 weeks ago. Is it possible to have those scores forwarded to Cadet Command and used in place of the Army ROTC PFT?

    Vision Discrepency

    Thanks for the reply. I checked my numbers with my optometrist and the contracted doctor. Those are indeed correct. So now I have a little hope :redface: Though that doesn't explain how I'm disqualified from USMA (my first choice, sorry Navy haha). It appears I'm under the limit of -8.00, I...

    Vision Discrepency

    I logged in to my DoDMERB account today and found out I did not meet the standards for all 3 of the academies I'm applying to. The cause was this: D155.70 Myopia - refractive error greater than -8.00 diopters (spherical equivalent) It seemed like my hopes had been crushed. However, then I took...
