    Getting Medically Qualified Overseas

    Hey there, So if the OP is an American citizen, then I believe that you can still contact DoDMERB and schedule something for free. It is definitely procedural that all American citizens (home or abroad) can get their medical test done for free. However, I think it will be very unlikely that...

    Parent's education

    Good point, but colleges ask "has your parent ever attended college", not "has your parent ever obtained a reputable degree". I guess it could go both ways.

    Waiting for a package or letter???

    If you aren't medically cleared by DoDMERB because of a DQ, a CGA rep will notify you when your medical status is updated (i.e. you get a waiver) -- only after all of this happens will you get the biggie in the mail. PM me if you have any q's -- literally I was your situation just last week...

    Cga AIM application

    ^yep, and to add roughly 30% of the incoming class attends aim -- in regards to how many of that 70% applied and didn't get in or didn't apply at all is unclear, but statistics are statistics and a deferral from aim should by NO MEANS be indicative of 2020 application performance.

    Waiting for waivers for two Appointments

    Based upon my experience, if you currently have 2 conditional appointment (pending 2 waivers), then you technically can't accept either appointments. In other words they don't send you papers to sign unless you are given a waiver. Additionally, once given the waiver (which can happen well...

    Travel outside of the USA

    Yo! Go for it! Although every transition to college should be celebrated, USMA is definitely special in that freedom to travel will be restricted somewhat during his next 4 years -- so Fiji, Japan, Hawaii, Aus, the other Aus, whatever -- take him there! (but for right now and for the sake of...

    New Format

    A while ago, but on the new format, I was able to directly link a gif to a posting, without there having to be a link, but I can't do that anymore. Was this changed, or am I just doing something wrong?

    Future service academy graduates/going into war

    Cool history, but Japan didn't have nuclear weapons, which I guess was sort of your point. Is your point that nations with nuclear weapons will never fight each other? I'm not sure about that. Sure nations stockpile nukes for political reasons, but given enough pressure and circumstances, I'm...

    And yeah... The economy newspaper didn't mention the rich history behind the end of the ussr because it's an economy newspaper.

    In other words, I could really care less about what someone else has to say about this. Like you quoted some Russian guy way up in this thread -- he isn't here discussing this. Both of those articles are pretty opinionated, and I got that just from reading the titles.

    Future service academy graduates/going into war

    Well if it goes undetected (somehow), yes, it will be quite difficult for America to stay on her feet. If bombs go off in Seattle, la, dc, ny, etc. chances are some edgy commander in Colorado is going to find a way to launch a counter attack without he necessary appropriate steps. If however...

    Future service academy graduates/going into war

    Very true. Perhaps from Europe is a better plan of action. Russia's access to the Atlantic is quite limited if the Scandinavian area is accounted for. Idk this is sort of fun talking about plausible scenarios. In that case Germany would probably be the idea staging are with the base and such.

    .......yes...... so if we concentrate our entire legislation, heads of military, and other important folks all around DC it doesn't take very much to knock that out..... which is why numbers of nukes, number of peoples, and population distribution matters. What is Russia, like twice the size of...
