Got my letter today

Got my official candidate number and package today. Good luck to all

I see DS and DD used a lot on the forums. I know there's a simple answer but my google skills fail. What do they mean regarding candidates?

My cousin graduated from USMA in 2008 as well. He is in Dubai for some reason with a wife ready to burst with triplets. I bet he's just as frustrated minus the combat experience.

I used to bring one to my HS classes and just sit there and solve it over and over because I was bored. My french teacher would take it every time I pulled one out, so I started bringing three or four. She'd turn around after she grabbed it and I'd already be working at another one. She sent me...

You'll get the candidate package mid june. Be patient and be working on what you know you need to have prepared.

My transcripts showed days absent and tardy. nothing else. I had a TON of suspensions and skipped quite a bit my earlier years. Get an unofficial transcript and see what it shows. I doubt it'll affect you in all honesty

I'll definitely check that out!

I figured as much. Good to know everyone else is in the same position. I kept my congressional nomination from the years when I applied. That was an effort to get let me tell you. Tons of interviews and a meeting witha board of 12 trustees. Ugh. And Devil Dog is a term that the Germans gave...

Once you get your stuff done, i.e. CFA, ask teachers for reccomendations, its mostly a waiting game.

For the Naval Academy (may be different from West Point) Once you have access to CIS there will be a checklist you can review and for the most part be able to access the resources you need for that information You need SAT/ACT scores sent in directly to the academy using their reference...

All the ranks? Army, Marines, Air Force? You don't have it easy in the navy. Because they're everyones transportation they have to know ALL the ranks/rates ect. We're not required in the Marines to know more than our own and Navy, but out of professional courtesy I know them all. You wouldn't...

Yes, unfortunatley this is completely true. Although I could pursue MCECEP or OCS, whos ages are waiverable, the service academies are not. You must be between 17 and 22 (i.e. Greater than or equal to 17 and less than or equal to 22) to be eligible. This gives me only the next applying year to...
