I went 2 years ago when it was SLS. SLE will not be very physically demanding, so I wouldn't worry about that too much. When I went, we did 3 classes and went to a lot of briefings where we learned about USMA. There will be time to talk to your squad leader about what it's like to be a cadet and...

How does taking Accutane work while one is actually in a commissioning program? I searched other threads but only found ones that pertained to people taking it before their DoDMERB exam/entering an academy or ROTC. I am a contracted, scholarship MS2 in Army ROTC. I took my DoDMERB exam as a...

What months of the year does a cadet get the AROTC stipend? I will be a contracted MS2 this fall but I only contracted at the very end of last year so I have never received a stipend and was wondering when I'll start getting the stipend for the fall.

Challenge Coins I was wondering the same thing as OP. I have seen 2LT challenge coins that can be engraved, but I don't know if it is appropriate for someone who was a fellow cadet to give it to a new 2LT. Can someone tell me the proper protocol for this?

I earned a nomination from Senator Toomey last year to USMA and it was dated January 3, 2013. So I would look for one within the next few days.

I'm currently a freshman in college. I applied to West Point during my senior year and was QNS. I received an AROTC scholarship to a top ranked private university and am having success in the ROTC program. I didn't apply to WP again this year, but as the news of the ROTC branch selection and...

I'm an MS1 at a selective private university. I received a 3AD scholarship last spring. At the time the ROO told me that all of their MS1s who have received 3ADs in the past have been able to upgrade to 3.5 year scholarships. But now it is October and we have had two PT tests that I have...

I'm currently an ms1. We had our first pft at the beginning of the month and I passed with a 260. I maxed push-ups, did well on the run, but barely passed my battalion's standard (70 pts) for not being on remedial for the sit-ups. What are some good workouts to improve sit ups? I've been doing...

I got my letter with a 3 year AD to Case Western or University of Richmond

My portal updated to show that I received a scholarship to Case Western!

SLS 2nd session, 4th platoon (black shirts, 8th squad

My experience: I got my DoDMERB exam for USMA class of 2017. When I went, I had never been to the optometrist. I found out I had 20/30 vision in one eye and 20/40 vision in the other eye. The optometrist told me I would probably be disqualified because it wasn't corrected and would need a...

Yes my portal opened July 2. I heard at SLS that in the emails we received it said pass, at risk, or fail. I had one event (flexed arm hang) that I was at risk for.

I took the CFA when I was at SLS but they are not on my portal. I remember getting an email about it soon after I took the CFA at West Point. How do I get the results put on my portal? Thank you.

Mine opened as well and I went to SLS

I've been looking at some SUNY schools and I'm thinking about replacing UVA and W&M with Geneseo and Binghamton. I think I would have a better chance of getting into these schools as they're less competitive to get into apparently.

Thank you so much to everyone! I'll look at those schools.

As far as area goes I'd like to be in PA, NY, MD, DE, OH, or VA I think. As far as campus size and location I'm really open to anything, I'm pretty flexible. For finances I'm looking to get as much scholarship as possible wherever I go. I definitely want to do ROTC wherever I attend...

No I couldn't take it because I was going to SLS that weekend I'm taking it in the fall.

What other schools would you recommend for my list then? I'd like to stay in the NE/Mid Atlantic region. I actually got interested in Marist because when I was at SLS someone spoke to us about ROTC who was from Marist. Also I've taken the SAT twice so far. The first time I got a 590 in math and...
