    Calculus?! the plebe-killer

    You should be fine. Don't worry about it at all. I had very little calculus experience going into the academy and still managed to pull off A's in Calc 1 and Calc 2. However, don't expect to go in there thinking you know it all and slack off in class. Pay attention, take notes, and study the...

    Metro Exam

    Its not a big deal...i'd say close to about a quarter of kids in the 3 sections that had meteo failed the final (got below a 70, must get at least a 70 to be stcw qualified). Your DS passed the class which is the most important thing at the moment. All your DS needs to do is go and talk to the...

    Physics Tutor

    Its pretty tough with this professor when he can't remember one single name in the section that he is teaching.

    Physics Tutor

    The physics tutor is a overall awesome guy. He knows what he is doing and has really helped me out. However, its really tough right now because of the split of people taking physics 2 and physics 1. He is the only professional physics tutor so he tries to break it up evenly. The professional...

    Physical Fitness Assessment (BCA)

    Ironman is a perfect 300 score. To do this you must be able to max out in the three areas tested. The maxes are as followed: 92 pushups 109 situps and a 8:15 mile and a half. However, to recieve the service ribbon for the PFT you must score a 285 or higher. I barely got by with a 285. I maxed...

    Physical Fitness Assessment (BCA)

    Yes, PEP is for a trimester. I believe you have to get up at 4 30 and just do some kind of physical activity, most likely running. The P/C's that dont really have a varsity sport, have to find time to get outside the barracks and exercise. Whether that is run on the track, or going to the pool...

    Physical Fitness Assessment (BCA)

    Ok to comment on the last few posts. The food is not bad here. Honestly, if you think the food is bad here, then you should come to my high school because it was tons worse. There are several options every meal. Yes, the food is not high quality, top of the line brands, but its still decently...

    Church

    I have gone to every Catholic Sunday mass since I showed up here during Indoc. It is incredible to see how many parents and children attend mass and see their P/C sons and daughters. However, going on the campus and showing around is crossing the line. Its ok to talk to them after mass for a...

    Success Rate

    Yes, there are other physics teachers. Some I've heard, easier graders and seem to be more laid back. For example, there are two calc teachers, I won't mention names but, one will let you sleep in class and tends to grade easily while, the other will try to push the pace and seems to grade much...
