Yes, I am already signed up there. But when we went for my son's overnight visit, as well as in a subsequent email, she spoke of building a "distribution list" for the Class of 2014. I have seen posts on this forum as well as others about receiving these emails but I have never received one...

Ok... I have done this twice now and still am not receiving any email updates. I am going to email her again but just to be sure... When was the last time she sent out an email to the parents on her list and when you receive one from her, does it show her email address as the sender or a...

Has anyone heard of soaking your boots in water in order to break them in? A cadet told my son something along these lines when he went for his overnight visit. On the other hand, I have also heard that it is not necessary to break the boots in, only the feet. Also, any tips on getting a...

Also, is it possible to get a hard copy of the USMA catalog?

I read somewhere a week or so ago that an email had gone out to parents from Deb's office. How would I sign up to receive these emails? I have a incoming cadet candidate, Class of 2014.

What all do you have in your folders at this point? The ones with the extra copies that they take with them to R-Day? I can't shake the nagging feeling that I have forgotten something.

At what point are cadets allowed to have their own cars at West Point? I know plebes wont have time to use them but I am thinking on travel on holidays and such.

Thanks guys! That was exactly what I needed to know reguarding the Metro-North. But I am running into problems with Grand Central. The only station near there that it is showing that my train would run through would be Pennstation. How does this affect what you are saying?

My husband thinks it would be nice to travel on Amtrack into New York but I am unfamilar with the station that would be closest to Highland Falls. Does anyone have an idea on this? Also, I am just curious...are there any home schoolers on here that have been accepted into West Point? We...

When can the parents shop at the PX? Isnt this only for those with military id's?

Thanks! I hadn't ever heard of Chicago-style either and my mom teaches at at local univeristy! Oh and Thanks ChockStock for the website...Awesome! Are we allowed to download programs that helps with formating, like APERLA, on the laptops they give us?

What is the required format for research papers at West Point? Is it MLA or ATA?

Hmm, one more thing...what is the best way to get from a hotel that is 15 or more minutes away to West Point? We are coming from too far away to drive so what are our options here? I have looked into a place near Stewart Airport, which I understand to be a smaller airport. Am I correct to...

Thanks so much!! This was just what I was looking for! I am "one of those" that doesn’t mind paying the extra if it is worth it but cant bring herself to do it without surveying the options obsessively!! :biggrin: I am defintly going to look into the Overlook, and the Hampton. I am...

Did anyone ever find out what happened to this cadet?

You may be right, obviously I am not exactly sure of all my facts. But I thought I remembered it being mentioned somewhere on these boards as a completly different hotel..

Oh...and one more thing :biggrin: What about the 5-star hotel on base? Once the cadets report to West Point and take the oath...are their families allowed to stay there?

Also, Is it really worth the extra money to be on the WP grounds for graduation day rather than one right outside the gate? I realize this is relative question but I would value your opinions. Thanks!

So, I have read that cadets cannot have cell phones during beast but what about during plebe year?

I am wondering if anyone here has more information about the package that the Thayer offers, including r-day,a-day, parent-plebe weekend and graduation. I called the hotel but it sounded like the lady was speaking from the end of a tunnel :confused:. Very frustrating..but anyway, I did make out...
