I was just reading through the "Information for New Cadets and Parents" packet and it said that:
"To condition your feet so as to minimize blisters, you should begin your CBT preperation now. You should purchase two pairs of Army-issue (ACU) boots. You are now authorized to purchase...
Maybe he meant the jackets that are worn with "as for class" uniforms. They just went from grey to black, which is the same as officers use. I think that can end up saving money when you graduate.
Thanks. As soon as I know where I'm going I'll make sure to decline the others. I wouldn't want to make anyone wait longer than necessary for the big envelope.
I have recieved an appointment from West Point. Does anyone know how long I have to respond and accept? I'm still holding out and considering Annapolis and I want to wait until I've visited both to make a final decision. There was nothing with by appointment that told me when to respond by...
For someone looking to potentially go into a "ground" service what are the differences between the marines and army. I know the Marines go on ships and the mission differs slightly. I also know they hold traditions and history as well as physical fitness very high. What are other differances...
If I went to NASS is it really necessary to go or do they look favorably on candidates who take the weekend visit? If the spots are limited it makes sense that someone who didn't go to NASS and knows nothing about the academy should go instead. On the other hand learing all you can before...

What does the physical end of NASS entail? I've been having an IT band problem with my leg and I'm going to a physical therapist and having it worked on. I'm hoping I'm good to go in time and if not I'll just grin and bear it for the week and let it recover after. What kind of running is...
Sorry, I posted this under USMA but it goes for all the academies. Does anyone know if/what academies are looking for the SAT writing score for the class entering 2009? I just got my results and I feel confident of my verbal(740)/math(690) scores. My writing score was a little lower (610) but...
Does anyone know when USMA begins accepting applications for presidential nominations (2013). My only hesitation for starting is that my congressmen don't begin accepting thier applications till spring. Is USMA the same way or can I begin applying now? When I send in the application do I also...
