It's almost that time of year: fall semester exam week. I thought it might be helpful to designate a thread for friends and family to share ideas on how they can support their cadets from afar. :smile: Just before exam week of fall semester of my rat year, my parents sent me a really nice...

This thread is for prospective cadets of all of the publicly and privately funded military colleges to discuss what they're doing to prepare for the physical rigors of their chosen schools. What workout plans are you using? How often do you PT? What are your long-term and short-term physical...

The rats broke out of the Ratline today, and the Corps of Cadets officially accepted them as a class. For those who are unfamiliar with this tradition, it's VMI's version of Recognition Day. It is the most physically and mentally demanding day of your life, and at the end, you're finally a...
