Run run run run and then run some more now. Then go run some more. Get your boots when you get the shoe and boot letter - do not feel at all embarrassed wearing them to school - break all foot wear in. You do not want blisters and problems with your feet. Go run some more. Every...

The Board of Visitors The West Point versison of a Board of Regents.

In shape for Beast It is a no brainer to get in the best possible physical shape you can be in for R-Day. The last thing want is to be worried about finishing a run or in agony in a run. West Point is very very hilly. Also the first focus by the officers leading Beast will be to really try...

Every year there are tragic events as seemingly trivial social events result in loss of admission. Jeesh, I cannot answer that question. One thing that might help is go and visit and go through the process of what it involves to enlist with the local Army and Navy recruiter. Talk and listen...

SLS I do not think SLS helps you in your admission standing to West Point. In fact, having a Cow conduct your interview might not be helpful and the CFA test adminstered then is often somewhat more difficult as the cadet administering the test will be fanatical about correct form and so on...

DODMERB seems to be your sole concern. I do not understand your view that the process is complicated, especially for someone who seems to have a solid application. I would understand if you are frustrated. The medical waiver to allergic response to yellow jacket sting is no small matter...

...oh bring a few pairs of good lycra type compression shorts - type go almost to knee to cut irritation. There is a shot they will not be allowed depending who vets your kit but usually they allow you to keep it.

Bring a good knife, good insect repellent, miners type of headband flashlight with red and white lense, tooth brush, shaving kit, pen, some envelopes pre-addressed for mom (but they will understand if they hear little from you) and duct tape for your feet.
