    VMI XL flat twin sheets

    So, if they don't need all of those towels and sheets that they have to report with, where do they store them. The few pictures I've seen of the rooms/wall lockers it looks like they keep things to a minimum. Do they have to put them in their luggage in the storage room or are they allowed a...

    VMI XL flat twin sheets

    Goarmymom, I needed some towels and sheets for my DS to attend STP. I didn't want to buy something sight unseen so I didn't order them online. I ended up buying his sheets at IKEA, along with his towels. The dimensions of the sheets appeared to be as long or longer than the Twin XL sheets I...

    Just a Word of Encouragement

    My son got his TWE envelope last month. We always thought the USNA was a stretch. He had good test scores and lost of extra-curricular stuff but his GPA wasn't great. He also is going to VMI (all the way from Washington state!) and is excited about going. I told him he could re-apply but his...

    Cell Phone Coverage

    That's a nice setup. The website didn't mention the monitor and specifically said no printer. Dual monitor setup is great. The large, aerospace company I work for now issues dual 22" monitors to everyone with a docking station. Pop out the laptop at the end of the work day and take it home...

    Cell Phone Coverage

    According to the USNA website, they begin issuing laptops to the class of 2015. They are Lenovo T420 laptops and come with a docking station. No printer or monitor. Hopefully they let the mids bring their own monitors. Main reason to have a docking station is to allow you to quickly hook...

    VMI Acceptance

    I also went to the UW via NROTC. Graduated in 1979 then 20 years in the Marines. None of my kids expressed an interest in attending there. My DS was born at Ft. Belvoir so I guess he considers himself a Virginian and thus his interest in VMI. Unfortunately, that doesn't qualify him for...

    Chances of getting in?

    What school in Washington do you attend? We live in Seattle. My son played water polo and swam during the summer. Unfortunately, he played football and therefore couldn't do water polo in high school. I know they just actively recruited a bunch of women for their water polo team (mostly from...

    Nomination Question

    Some MOC's have multiple noms. Each MOC can have 5 nominees attending at one time so some years they can nominate more than one person. For each opening, they can nominate 10 people. So if they have one slot, they can put forward 10 names and can pick their top candidate, or rank them, or let...
