    What does this email mean? Is it a LOE? USMA at West Point invites...

    That was quite rude. Not the way to help a clearly less informed individual, hopefully you'll learn that over the next four years. Be constructive, not destructive. Embarrassed to have you being so unkind while representing our future class.

    Personal Internet Access

    Supposedly only 4 or 5 cadets out of the whole corps opted out this year. Although cadets are very busy, there is some downtime on the weekends and even the most diligent of workers need a break.

    So when is the next wave?

    The portal change depends on the RC and when they decide to update the portal. It is a very common occurrence for the portal to change many days if not weeks after the BFE is received. Don't count yourselves out yet! Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app
