I don't really think its necessary to send any moleskin, band-aids, etc for foot blisters, as I think I remember being issued all that. Antibiotic cream is a great idea though. For a first package: disposable lighters (2), tide pen, antibiotic cream, picture for the cork board, favorite...

To have your appointment recinded because of 2nd semester grades (word on the street is that it hasn't happened in a few years), you would have to really screw up, like straight C's or some Ds/Fs

Haha, I wanted to make sure all the civilians out there knew what I was talking about.

Really good advice by USNA69. Yea, you don't need to send any 1st semester grades especially if you are already appointed and not in need of impressing the admissions boards. Beware though, when you get your huge admissions package, there will be a requirement to send in 1st and 2nd semester...

O yea, if you're offered CVW, go. My parents wouldn't let me go because they thought I had seen enough during Summer Seminar. Summer Seminar is not an accurate representation of Academy life. CVW is. Bring a DVD or music to watch/listen to with your plebe at night, he/she will be much...

Validate every single thing you can. It will make your life much much better. When I was first accepted and they sent out all their validation policies, I got the impression that USNA wouldn't let me validate much. If you are in an AP class, take the AP exam and study hard because USNA...

I can't answer all your questions but let me try to answer some from experience. 1. Maybe/maybe not. My congressman, for instance, was extremely into getting his constituents into the academies so he called around and found other senator's/congressmen's billets that were unused. 4. As I...

Thank you for your support of the Navy "clicker" spirit spot. My friend and I made it....I also played a small acting role in it (the Air Force cadet in the taxi)

I'll probably be going...we'll see

First off, you probably won't be getting your permit to report package for a few months. I assume you have recieved an LOA but not an appointment yet? Also, there are always conflicting opinions and arguments on what to bring to I-Day. Having gone through I-Day about four months ago, bring...

Yep, they leave this Saturday immediately after the game. I will be the first to sign up for it next year.

We're coming on 7 days till we get to go home. :shake:

Brigade, The war in Iraq has hit close to home. One of our recent graduates, Andrew Kinard, Class of 2005, has been seriously injured in an IED attack while on a routine patrol in Iraq. He is part of the 2nd Marine Division's 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, based in Camp Lejeune...

Opposite for us, first set we always did something. The little gray space we had was for MPT and flaming. First sets job was to break us down which wasn't always fun. Second set had a lot of gray space which was used for shining shoes, etc. Their primary mission was to build us back up as...

Letter I wrote to friends about plebe summer Plebe summer wasn’t too bad. It officially ended last night at 8:00. The basic layout of every day was we would first would wake up at 5:45 every morning, run out with our sheets (called “ripping the sheets” because we had to make our beds a...

I put it up only for a limited time. Its really funny though

I'll be careful. I'm only gonna use the stripes for carry-on and media privileges, not to push around my upperclassmen. I will also get to take his place in brigade formation and carry his sword. Will make really cool pictures for my mom. And BEAT AIR FORCE WEEK officialy begins when the...
