    CFA

    By no means am I an expert either, but I thought I read somewhere that 6 pullups was the "unadvertised" minimum; 9 is the published average on the CFA instructions. Can anyone else chime in?

    recruited athlete

    More like INSANELY tough for Corps Squad athletes...especially for a plebe. Your average CS 4C is also required to do his/her share of duties..they're constantly sensitive about how they're perceived by their peers and upperclass. Let's not forget adjusting to the crazy academics during the...

    Political leanings at USMA- Conserservative? Liberal? Mix?

    As your son is "very turned off by reflexive patriotism and nationalism," does this mean your son won't be saluting the flag at Reveille and Taps?

    Videotape CFA Pullups and Situps

    Back in the "old" days, wasn't the PT test administered on some military base by an officer? If there is such "lack of faith" by USMA, why not go back to doing it on the bases? I'm assuming it's a logistical issue (ie. not as many army/military bases, how to adhere to the time/interval/rest...

    Chock full of admissions & other 1st year FAQ

    Happened upon this site/page the other day and wanted to share... http://www.west-point.org/academy/malo-wa/educators/faqs.html The first third to half of the site is admissions related. The rest is related to entry prep. Also note that this must be an older FAQ (circa early 2000's) as...

    West Point Tar Bucket with feather

    Are you serious? You won't respond if I don't identify myself??? What if I'd just like to keep my status anonymous? Have you considered that any fool can come on this board and fabricate a story about themselves?

    West Point Tar Bucket with feather

    Cadet store only appears to sell the plume only; no mention of the tarbucket. http://www.usma.edu/dca/SiteAssets/SitePages/Academy Stores/CadetGrad.pdf I would recommend contacting the Cadet Store to see whether they sell the tarbucket also. Doesn't your hubby still have his tarbucket? They...
