Is there a full version of Bugle Notes available for download? I was instructed by my PMS to pick up a copy. I’m not sure if what I’ve found online contains all the information I need. I would also rather like to avoid dropping $100+ on an old hard copy. Thanks in advance.

I preformed exceptionally poorly on my CFA run. Nerves got to me and I couldn’t stop puking. I ended up running a 7:58. I know that no one knows for sure what pass/fail is, but has anyone had a similar run time to mine and passed or failed? Thanks in advance.

I looked in the FAQ and couldn't find anything, but forgive me if this has already been answered elsewhere. How exactly do ROTC nominations work. Is it like an MOC nom where there is a slate of 10 guys and (sometimes) 1 primary nominee? If so, how many slates are there? One per ROTC battalion?

I just opened my 2022 portal and saw that they require video of my CFA. I had heard of some people getting requested to submit video last year; is this across the board for everyone now?

I was filling out my ROTC forms today and on one of them asked me to indicate whether I "own a weapon" and whether I "own a motorcycle". The former I sort of get, they may be trying to determine who has experience with firearms, but the latter perplexes me. What concern is motorcycle ownership...

If I accept a scholarship enhancement from a university's ROTC program (I have a 3 Year AD AROTC Scholarship) do I get to contract?

What are the differences between the contracted and non-contracted ROTC cadets? I understand that non contracted cadets don't get to go to summer training (e.g. Airborne School), but do they still get to go do FTX? I understand the differences in compensation, but the money is really a...

I heard tell that West Point will offer 3 year ROTC scholarships to the QNS kids like myself? Have those already been given out?

As of yesterday the primary nominee for my slate is medically qualified and, given that the 150 off the NWL have already been selected, I suspect I will get the formal TWE within the next couple of days. No commissioning source would touch me so my next course of action will be to enlist in the...

I spoke with my National Guard recruiter while feeling out my other options in the event I am not accepted to West Point. In essence, after reviewing my qualifications, the officer in charge of the Minuteman Scholarship program is willing to wave the prior enlistment requirement for me if I get...

I was in contact with my FFR today; my district still hasn't been resolved because the primary nominee has some medical issue that has not been resolved. Is there a solid deadline for a P nom to be medically qualified? If slates have yet to be resolved, how does that affect the 150 that are...

In early January I recieved a letter from my RC congratulating me on having a complete application and that now the only thing left was to wait for the admissions committee to tender an appointment. I was told that meant I was 3Q'd But today I recieved an official 3Q letter on my portal; does...

I'm kind of panicking; just now I tried to log on to my account and this is the screen I get. There is no more application info. My heart prays it's a glitch, but my head intuits that my applicantion has been closed and I can be expecting a TWE.

Generally speaking, do most of the people who end up getting a senatorial nomination end up eventually being appointed, given than the nomination process for senators is statewide and, therefore, more competitive?

How do the "additional remarks" factor in the whole candidate score? Do they just arbitrarily add "X" amount of points they feel an additional activity or award deserves? Do they have some sort of guideline?

I just went to my Field Force Interview and it went exceedingly well. I also found out that I am one of the 2500 or so that is considered "3Q'd" I just forgot to ask before he left what impact, if any, the interview has in the admissions process?

Should I be concerned that I haven't received an LOE or an LOA at this point in the game; it seems that an inordinate amount of kids on the forum got them. Also, if you don't have a primary nomination (I.e. Unranked/alternate), what academic achievements (class rank, ACT scores, GPA...

How precisely does the national nomination pool work for candidates whose MOC did not give a primary nom or was unable to secure a primary nom?

How common is it for someone given an unranked or unranked alternate nomination to be eventually admitted to USMA?

How long does it take normally for a nomination to show up on your candidate portal?
