    How a girl should train

    That is very impressive! Most females can't do a single chin-up and I do believe a single pull-up or chin-up on the flexed arm hang equates to a full score in that section. But in regards to increasing strength, I would focus on: -Negatives (start in the up position, lower yourself slowly...

    How a girl should train

    I'm not a girl, but I would be glad to help! What are you looking to improve exactly? Your push ups, run time, sit-ups, etc?

    What is This $h*@?

    @hardknock96 That is the task you are entrusted with if you do successfully become an officer in the military. You must inspire the unmotivated to take action and develop a passion to what you what them to be passionate about. That is a true leader and if it was so easy, everyone could do it...

    Plane tickets for R-Day?

    So on the portal I did opt for the gov't issued plane ticket and the hotel accommodation. I reserved my hotel room through Double Tree but am not sure as to the plane ticket. Will I be receiving a ticket in the mail/email? Or will I have to reserve a ticket like the hotel room? Thank you!

    Stitches in knee

    Hi, so I'm a cadet candidate for the class of '18 but I have a problem. I split my knee open yesterday and required 4 stitches to close it. It's not big and will heal up within 10 days or so. However, will I need to report this to DODMERB? Also, I got the stitches out of the USA, so how will...

    Is the E-QIP the same as the SF86 form?

    Just reiterating the title of my thread, but is the E-QIP the same as the SF86 form? I'm seeing other acceptees and parents use the terms interchangeably so am I correct to assume that they are? Thank you!

    Priority Scholar Application??

    I am going to be blunt here in the fact that, as far to my knowledge, no one is invited to apply to West Point. This is a generic email that uses your submitted test scores (for the SLE application and other sources) to find potential applicants. IMO, do not worry about this email as you will...

    First off, congratulations! I was in the same boat couple weeks ago. I received my BFE about a week and a half after the phone call. This is no nightmare, I assure you, but the start of a 4-year long, life changing journey. Again, congratulations!

    SF86 and other essentials?

    I'm a little bit confused as to the SF86 and the EFIQs, etc. I received an email with the SF86 packet included as a pdf but a certain someone told me that you have to fill it out electronically and send it in? To be frank, I'm not sure what to do now and am respectfully asking for any help at...

    Best Naval Movies

    Flags of our Fathers, The Pacific (TV series), and Lone Survivor are very good. Also, Letters from Iwo Jima was good. It was an interesting view of WWII from the Japanese perspective (a Clint Eastwood film).

    Late January offers?

    That is interesting. It's been made clear by several posters on this forum that offers start going out no earlier than mid-to-late February. Are you a LOA recipient? Perhaps this may be why..

    Is it possible to major in Economics AND Chinese without validating any courses? Also, does anyone know the most current validating policies? I'm particularly interested in validating history and english. I heard that you only need a 4 on the APUSH exam to validate and an voluntary essay...
