You don't use the username "fartman38". That is the critical first step.

Nevermind, I just read the "Required Mathematical SKkills" memo and found the answer. All cadets are enrolled in MA103, but the results of the FCE affect whether or not we will go onto MA104 or not.

I am reviewing the Fundamental Concepts Memo and the online USMA curriculum, and I'm curious. Are ALL new cadets enrolled in MA103, or does it vary based on your performance on the FCE? If so, does that mean that if you do not score the 90% on the FCE the first time that you will automatically...

I'm USMA Class of 2014. Our R-day is the 28th of June. Getting pretty excited, but nervous too!

Interesting. I don't think it really matters, since the rest of our armed forces are way more numerous and advanced than there's, anyway. This of course assumes that he's factual.

And aglages....speaking as a cadet candidate who is about to start Beast, I have to say I do find it at least slightly demoralizing to be seeing an article about West Point failing, at least in someone's eyes. From what I've heard, we aren't supposed to get cynical until Gloom Period :wink:

As a 2014 cadet candidate and a lurker for over a year, I must say I find it amusing that Luigi throws a temper tantrum everytime someone says ANYTHING negative about USCGA or USMMA (both fantastic schools, BTW), yet 90% of his own posts is trash about how the "big three" are going down the...

So with May 1 just two days away (and thus most appointments that will be accepted probably already accepted)....what is the class size? How many people accepted appoinments?

Hey guys...got my TWE yesterday as well. A little disappointed, but excited to be part of USMA class of 2014. Good luck to you as you re-apply!

I'm not going to give my thoughts on the law itself (suffice it to say that most of you would not agree)....but Senator Mccain's support is purely political, trying to help him win his primary. He's been tacking hard to the right for months now, going so far as to say that he is not a maverick...

Just out of curiousity( I'm male)...is the opposite true for female cadets? I'd think with a 4:1 ratio it'd be a bit easier for them.

The point is that "roughing them up a bit" is illegal, and America is great because it's a country that doesn't cut corners around the laws just because they're being broken against scumbag terrorists.

Ok, just figured I'd ask. No offense intended.

And you know that how? This is coming from another appointee who is in a similar situation.

I'd like to point out that 36% of the national budget is spent on defense, which is already way too high as it is, IMO.

Truthfully, you made a mistake in not going after every nomination you could. That said, the nominations were finalized long ago and there's nothing you can do about it now. By now, your DS either already knows his final admissions status or will soon, and if it's bad news, asking "what ifs"...

Incorrect. A friend of mine received an LOA on December 26.

Is this true at all the academies though? Is Navy simply the victim of unusually bad luck, and the other academies have the same issues?

From JAM's link: 2–5. Promotion a. A warrant officer who accepts a promotion to the grade of CW3, CW4, or CW5, incurs a 2-year ADSO. This ADSO begins on the date of promotion and must be served before voluntary retirement. b. A commissioned officer who accepts a promotion does not incur an...

PIMA, I'm reading the document you linked, and while the first paragraph mentions General boards, I don't think that 3.15-which is what Bruno was citing- was referring to only General boards. I could be wrong, though.
