This may be old news, but recently learned that CG JO's in the ranks of O1-O3 may apply to USUHS and attend medical school. This isn't available to cadets. I have no interest in being a physician, but maybe this is helpful information to someone out there...

Was having this discussion with another grad recently. What are your thoughts?

Haven't posted here in ages. I did want to come back and stress the importance for all of you to go to medical and document any injuries or illnesses you incur on active duty (includes time at the Academy). There is no shame in filing for VA disability. This is a part of your veterans...

I'm a veteran and Service Academy grad. I know on my DD-214 it has a checkbox for commissioning source - Service Academy in my case. However, for all intents and purposes Cadets and Mids are AD. So I wonder why we don't receive DD-214s when we graduate from a SA...

It's been awhile since I visited this site, but I found out today that I was passed over for O3 from my XO. I did not have any adverse OER numbers, so unsure why I was passed over. Luckily, I am entitled to the Post 9/11 GI Bill, have another board for O3 to go up for, and a year and a half...

I need someone else's thoughts on this article. As a former male cadet, now male junior officer, I dislike the phrase of "perception is reality". I understand the rigors of being afloat, and how that affects your mental health when you are stuck with superiors and peers who you don't like. And...

I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle after graduation and plan on taking a safety course during my 30 days of leave. Anyone have experience with owning, operating, and maintaining a motorcycle as a young JO?

3 more weeks to go!!!

Does anyone here have experience with balancing two military careers? Is it possible or will one have to eventually get out? Thanks.

I'm interested in going to grad school in a few years but I am pretty concerned about the possibility of it happening. To make a long story short, I went engineering to round myself out (I'm really good at writing, really improved in math these past few years), but my GPA has taken a toll and is...

Pretty cool. Congrats! http://www.buzzfeed.com/ellievhall/first-same-sex-marriage-announcement-at-the-coast-guard-acad

Hopefully this happens, it'd be the best thing to happen for DHS and in particular the USCG

CBS did a pretty good coverage of the EAGLE for all those interested in learning about the only active duty square rigger in government service: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDNxj6AS500

Can a left-handed person wear a sword on their right side instead of the left side? Just a quick question about drill, Thanks!
