    Leadership

    I served as the secretary of one of the out of school service clubs that I am a part of and admissions counted it as a leadership role. Every bit helps especially since those roles ARE leadership.

    tips b-ball throw

    lots of practice along with trying different techniques. its all upper body muscle groups so work shoulders, abs, lats, and chest i would think. the best method for me was to bend at the waist and extend my arm back and throw it like a catapault does. sorta off the wall example but it works.

    Admissions question

    No you dont. I learned a ton about local and national government through Boy's State that I didnt know before. I would suggest though that you run and get a solid leadership position early on if possible. I was a sheriff this past year and had a ton of fun arresting people and waking everyone up...

    Worried about 5 year obligation

    I suggest you don't go into the military. The Army (and the other branches) needs warriors, not those who worry about a small 5 years of service to support our country and about being deployed. Oh, and blackknight, way to call the AF out. :wink: and Chock- if you think being in the Marine Corps...

    USMA Appointments

    Appointments Yeah, I recieved my appointment in early December. The appointments have been rolling in since then. Don't be discouraged though because USMA admissions will continue handing out appointments until May, assuming of course you have a nomination. Hope this helps and keep praying!:thumb:

    Band and Leadership?

    yeah they will def. look at the band stuff and esp. the drum major. admissions likes to see that you are dedicated to what you do and are good at. keep with it. i wouldn't devote ALL of your time, though. remember its a miltary academy, not a band academy.
