My guess if you only showed up with a most likely "irritated" wrist then perhaps a chit may be given but I don't think they'll send you home over it. I had a pain like this a few months back, iced, rested, and, stretched it and it was gone in just several days.

Thank you so much for this! I have been warned.

I plan on bringing a small NRA sling bag. However it is in ACU pattern. Will detailers put me down for Army pattern bag? Haha

Swimming would be your very best option. I feel as if many soon to be plebes are leaving swimming out of their workouts, it is the Navy, be comfortable in deep water.

Same here. Although I'm afraid Varsity swimming will not give me any time for such activities since these extra-curriclulars you mention are time consuming as well I would believe.

Highly recommend The Trident by Jason Redman. Amazing individual and an amazing leader that learned the hard way.

To usna2019?, You should really look at getting your ACT at least a 31 composite or higher. Also take the SAT. I will be swimming for Navy's swim team and would tell you that you should begin filling out recruit questionnaires for polo and swimming, that is if you plan on competing in one...

I know I am not the wisest on this one, in fact, far from it, but from what I've heard from enlisted personnel of both is that your gear and resources may be a bit nicer in the Army due to the larger budget, yet the discipline of subordinates is usually of a higher standard in the Marines. Yet...

Oops! Forgot to edit "meant" to "met" haha.

A Firstie I meant on one of my visits said he received PRK prior to his SEAL cruise. He has selected EOD as his service so I am wondering if PRK is an option for SpecWar or SpecOps not just pilot training. I would figure it is or is not, and if it is not, the Firstie must have had poor enough...
