I am scheduled to take the PFT on Monday, and I am kind of worried about my run. I'm sure I can at least be under the minimum, but I still know that I can do much much better. I can also max pull ups and crunches. Is it possible to retake my PFT is I'm not satisfied with my run time?

I am in the process of applying for an NROTC Marine Option Scholarship and I was wondering how much the cost of the schools I am applying to affects whether or not I receive the scholarship. For example: I will be applying to George Washington University which is the third most expensive...

From the pictures of Session I that are on West Point's website, they will have us running through an obstacle course on the day we have to wear jeans. I don't know why we have to wear them, but I'm sure there's a reason.

You guys have any tips or advice? Anything I should bring thats not on the packing list? I leave tomorrow at six for Session II.

A quick Google search will find you exactly what you need. In the time it took you to create this thread and wait for an answer, you could have not only found the detailed explanation of the CFA but also taken it multiple times.

Can you bring regular sized toiletries as long as you put them in your checked bag?

Yep, they have a "Military" line. Very durable and they have a simple, black yet cool looking design.

Lifting weights is not what you should be doing for military style fitness. Period. You need endurance, not bulk and power. The best way to get better at push ups is to do a whole lot of push ups. Just do at least 4 max sets at least 4 times a week. Mix it up though; do diamond, wide and...

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think he just mixed them up.

If you cant get those SAT's above 550, your chances of getting an appointment are pretty low. Not completely gone because they look at your whole package, but you have to remember that there are thousands of applicants that have the same or better EC's and sports and much much better SAT scores...

I was just wondering how a midshipman would go about commissioning as a 2nd Luey in the Marine Corps after graduation from USNA. Is there a competitive selection process? Do most people who want to go into the USMC end up getting chosen?

I'm already in contact with my BGO, but he said that we can only schedule meetings after 38% of my packet is in. I guess there is no universal standard.

The password is still the same for me.

Posting the password on a public site for all to see probably isn't a good idea. If they wanted anyone to be able to get in they wouldn't have sent us the password in a letter.....

Compared to the other branches, the USMC really doesn't care. The other branches often use college GPA to determine who gets first choice when it comes to MOS's, and SA grads normally have a little more privilege. That simply is not the case for the USMC. Your MOS depends solely how you perform...

I didn't realize that the original post was over a year ago... Jakey if you had a question why would you ask it on a 1+ year thread instead of making your own thread?

Why do you think you know more about the Military than those actually in it? You should probably forget about trying to join the military if you are this arrogant.

Does anyone know if you can wear a watch?
