Cadet Resignation Request

Braces are fine. Inform your cadre if it impacts your ability to perform. Otherwise, there's no need to worry about it.

Upon reaching CGA, the check-in folks will have you call mommy/daddy/whoever to confirm your arrival. Then you put it in a ziplock bag and write your name on it. You leave it at the check-in desk and it gets safely stored and returned to you the night before you leave.

I tend to disagree with Sam on the history course. While his description of the content is correct, many cadets with weak backgrounds in American history struggle with the course. The course is more about applying, rather than gaining, a knowledge of history. I would recommend a solid American...

Many people who want to go into aerospace engineering become Naval Architect/Marine Engineering majors. Boats and planes aren't that dissimilar, and the Coast Guard has a grad school program that will send you to MIT for a dual masters in Naval Architecture and Aerospace Engineering. I...

Traditionally, it has been Alfa, Bravo, and Charlie companies on Eagle during Mystic. But with the changes to the summer program, the Eagle order will most likely be changing. I wouldn't plan anything that's non-refundable until you know further.

To carry this discussion over to a new thread (Thanks Luigi!), this summer will be a departure from previous years' conventions. The Swabs will be the last weeks, but the company orders will most likely be changing. This change a propagation of changes to cadre section scheduling devised by...

You will be issued boots upon arrival, but you won't wear them often during the summer. Due to the intensity of the summer, you will primarily be wearing an all-black athletic shoe to save your feet.

Fluent means you would be able to carry a conversation with a native speaker with no issues. If you can do that, sure. But if it takes you five minutes to come up with the correct conjugation for an -ar verb in the imperfect tense then I would say no, señorita. As for piercings, yes...

Yeah. You just put in your school number and if they need to get in contact with one of them, they can just ask the receptionist.

I fail to see how discipline and leadership can damage a school's reputation, especially when many of the nation's top MBA programs are fighting for business leadership professors with military backgrounds.

Leamy Hall has a lounge (with plasma tv, pool table, etc), Dry Dock cafe, and a bowling alley, making it a popular spot on the weekends.

http://www.theday.com/article/20120125/NWS01/301259893/-1/NWS Finizio said that when cadets graduate military school they proudly say, "'I went to West Point,' 'I went to Annapolis.' I want them to say, 'I went to New London.'" Never, ever going to happen.

http://www.theday.com/article/20120110/NWS09/301109912 There's the link to the story. 14 bad eggs gone and the rest of the Academy is thankful for that. As far as the honor code goes, Chase Hall has been swept by drug dogs and nothing was found. The remaining 1020 cadets have nothing to do...

Congratulations. Is there a question anywhere here or are you just trying to impress me?

I feel no sympathy for these individuals. The rules on the subject were clearly defined. We don't need the nation's future drug enforcement officers using drugs. I don't want them in my Corps.

LITS gave you the overview, but I can answer a few more specifically. 1. Week one you get yelled at. After that, weeks 2-5 are about being yelled at. And then week six finishes with some yelling. At some point there will be some sailing on the Barque Eagle. 2. Principles of Fitness...

Also, would you trust a swab with a SIG?

A very nice avatar, indeed.

CGA is listed as #13 for best engineering schools without doctoral programs.
