    Tape Test

    Thanks for the quick reply...my thought is that he will lean up during beast anyway. He is a former baseball catcher and has a catcher butt and legs...I figure that a strong lower body will help him during beast.

    Overnight Visit

    My DS did an overnight in late November. We were lucky enough to stay over an extra night and watch the Army/Fordham game. My DS has two LOE's and was "thinking" that West Point was his first choice but wanted to make sure. After his visit, he was 100% sure that West Point was the place for...

    LOE x 2

    DS has received 2 LOE's one in september & one in october. Anyone else received 2 of these? We were hoping for an LOA so we can relax a bit. Overnight visit is in the works. He has also had his first nomination interview with our Senators Office & that went extremely well.
