This is true. I will be a rising yuk and Airborne is going to be very hard to get this year, with preference being given to the rising firsties who actually need the MIAD graduation requirement.

This is not true. Pre-Ranger is a competetive MIAD with a limited amount of slots. It has no bearing on a slot in Ranger after graduation as Ranger is part of the BOLC for any cadet who branches infantry.

1) I had always dreaded R-day for years, looking at the pictures and talking to people. I never understood it and it seemed like a confusing mess. But it came and went just like any other day. It's just a really stressful day of inprocessing, waiting in long lines, and staying as still as...

So great to be back on a computer after 6 weeks!

Look, don't make the CFA any bigger than it is. Yes it is a pass/fail test and yes it is 10% of your WCS. Do your best on it and retake if you aren't happy, but the truth is that there is so much more to your file that is even more important. Spend your time making yourself a well rounded...

Even if you don't retake the cfa, you still passed by far. It's your call but you beat me on almost everything and I got in.

So how does a new cadet receive advanced placement, but not validation? As in a higher level of a class such as US history?

As for the recruited athlete aspect, recruited athlete means that the coaching staff has contacted the candidate and verbally expressed that they want to recruit them. There is also an official campus visit paid for by athletics. Just talking to the coaching staff does not necessarily mean a...

Yes but the new link to the dental form is still the same form candidates should have received with the dental info packet. I remember filling it out months ago. Maybe it's for recent appointees?

I applied and got through for rifle. There really isn't much to the application. The main objective is simply to get qualified academically for Division 1, and get your eligibility/amateur status clarified. The real target is getting recruited by the USMA Coaching staff for your sport. Since...

I had exactly the same size difference, and made sure I wore the thick issue socks as well, and still needed the 8.5 with the Bates. But I liked the bates the most. I felt like they gave me more ankle support than the Bellevilles.

Just a boots poll for candidates with boot letters. Which did you go with? -Belleville -Bates -Khyber -undecided

I got the Bates and really like them. I feel like they give me more support than the Bellevilles I tried on.

I think I understand what you're asking. You're worried that if you make a move to reapply, it will clear your portal completely and remove you from the class of 2015 application/waiting list. I don't think you would be just "dropped" from the waiting list even if your portal did clear. I...

If a person isn't used to it, the pressure on the scalp from a rough buzz cut can sometimes cause a person to involuntarily "cry."

I've been thinking about this for a while now. My normal haircut is already a short buzz. The one thing I always notice is that whenever my hair gets buzzed, I get thousands of sharp, very annoying little spikes of hair all over my face, neck and collar that stay there until I can shower, and...

Been waiting for a long time, just got a call yesterday telling me I got the Nomination from Congressman Holt's Office (NJ-12), but apparently I never got the phone call from the Congressman! He's supposed to call this evening so I can officially accept it. I love this feeling :biggrin:

Ken2012 it is possible. I got a rejection letter last year, then an acceptance letter the next week and was told to ignore the first one. I was confused, but more excited than anything else. Good luck.
