Thank you all for the help and insights puts some nerves at ease!

I just received a phone call moving my report time up three hours "incase additional medical screening was required." It has come out of no where as I'm not injured or sick and have not been. I did receive a waiver for an allergy to medication and a shoulder surgery in 2011. Has anyone heard of...

Thanks!

Hey all just going to be that person who reaches out. Would love to meet some of you before we get there on I-Day. A win for social media and technology I guess. Feel free to send me a private conversation so we can get connected! Looking forward to it and best of luck in your prep for plebe summer!

Thank you all for the advice it has been very helpful!

I was wondering if it was worth getting a pair of combat boots to start running in to get used to it before Plebe summer. I know they will give us issued ones we have to wear but getting used to running in boots seems like a good idea. Also are there any suggestions on running shoes (that are...

Thank you for the advice! I'm in no way an academic, my grades aren't perfect nor do I think academic success is something to brag about. The reason I'm transferring is to be the best officer I can, something I could not accomplish at my current school. I can't wait to get to the academy but I...

looking forward to it! happy to be your classmate man!

tsparks/ March 3rd Appointment (Not accepted yet)/ IN-02 Congressional Nom

I am going out for a visit (Candidate's Weekend?) at the end of March. I was curious about what exactly that weekend is, what I should expect, etc. Anyone have any insights they are willing to offer?

Update: The bit of paperwork was a body weight percentage. When I weighed in in December I was doing a lot of heavier lifting for conditioning and our fitness testing for our team at the end of the semester and weighed 168 at 5'7". I have slimmed down since this dream has slowly become more of a...

Yes sir/ma'am, I have met all other conditions that needed to be turned for the dead line in January. I have a congressional nomination and passed my CFA. My academics are also solid. I have received a medical waiver for an injury I sustained a long time ago. I just have one bit of paper work to...

Nope, you guys cleared it up nicely. Thank you for your help!

I have a conditional offer of appointment. What are the chances I get the actual appointment? Am I pretty much as good as in? Can I 'relax' yet about it or is it still pretty much up in the air?
