    Will taking Honors Classes limit my chance of being a candidate?

    "Honors" is not standardized but some are indeed college level depending on the school. My local school as many honors classes which are indeed college level courses offered thru our state university system as well as Syracuse University. Many school districts are getting away from AP as...

    Help assessing odds...

    Your DD has a great qualifications. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Most everyone will have doubts and uncertainty when chasing dreams-encourage her to continue to chase this one. I am a numbers and stats lover. When reading this thread and comments it made me ask "How many female cadets...

    ROTC Major Question

    Make sure to go beyond your AFROTC command and get it in writing. My son (YG 2012) learned the hard way when he switched majors...he switched from Russian ( a desired language). Detachment had told him it wasnt an issue, so he switched. A few weeks later after classes had begun he learned...

    USMA grad, a Communist?

    I agree...we are clueless about the facts. My point was he became political fodder. I read so many truly offensive/vile comments on various posts directed at him because he was simply a Muslim teaching at USMA. Just believe that should have no bearing. If he was placed on administrative...

    USMA grad, a Communist?

    A professor can be put on administrative leave for numerous things...an investigation doesn't need to be thrown in as one of them. So many USMA affiliated people have been sharing articles about the professor on social media and I just find it sad. A man's career and reputation is political...

    USMA grad, a Communist?

    I find this very disturbing. This professor seems to be dragged into this only because of his association with Rapone. I am sure he has mentored many cadets over the years. It is unfair that some sites quickly throw him under the bus without facts. Professors/mentors are rarely attacked when...

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    Just curious what makes you believe this? There must be some reasoning or logic behind those statements. You did not have the benefit of sitting in on the trial, hearing testimonies and viewing evidence yet you question the same verdict that you state you believe. Also, are you on the debate...

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    Was that person that gave you that information at the trial? I have spoken to someone that was there....phone records were brought in as evidence. They did not confirm his testimony.

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    Yes, his story is horrific. I also know of a young man whose life was turned upside down...and thankfully he was not convicted. It is not a foolproof system but when you take into account the low percentage of rapes that are reported, then add to that the low percentage of those that are...

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    Question any verdict if you must, but I hope you can be fair to those future soldiers under your leadership/care who are victims of rape/sexual assault but without bruises, video, or witnesses.

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    Seriously Whale give it up. Two days....yes she was out in the field, I can only imagine what was running through her mind that first day. Her goal one day is to finish field training and the next....bet she was just a tad bit confused. Sure wish there was video of this crime....it seems that...

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    I am very sorry if you got that from my post as that was not my intent. The point that I wanted to make was...there are a few(very few) bad apples. When they commit crimes and it surfaces in the media, no one really questions the convictions except in the case of sexual assaults/rape. The...

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    What does motivate a cadet to rape? I wish I knew...but it happens and often it goes unreported or a restricted report is filed. Most female cadets do not believe in the system enough to go through the aftermath of reporting while dealing with the aftermath of their rape. I am sure many...

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    Were there inconsistencies? I have been told from someone in courtroom there was on his part. Example: Texts, he claimed she had texted him. Phone records proved she had not. Wondering what type of evidence you would need to be convinced. By your logic all rapes and sexual assaults are "he...

    2019 USMA Cadet Court Martialed

    Thank you Capt MJ for bringing up the topic of Rape Freeze. It is indeed a frequent dissociation response to rape and other traumas. Lots of studies and info out there. I can definitely see how a young woman could experience this response in the heightened stressful environment that is USMA...

    CFA Averages For Females

    Completely agree!! And better yet they should pass the APFT to the male scale to gain respect. This also goes for male cadets as well...any cadet that is strong physically will have an advantage in the respect arena.

    Oh really? They still have to pass the PFT later.

    Intimidated or Not Interested?))

    My grad attended her official recruitment visit her senior year and adamantly said "No way is that for me!" She had already completed 90 % of the arduous application process and had an LOA. I simply encouraged her to finish the process unless she was 100% sure to avoid regrets later. So...
