    overnight visit arrival time?

    The Visitor Control Center is open M-F 6:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. If you could get your visitor's pass the day before it would help with your early morning. https://home.army.mil/westpoint/index.php/about/visitor-information

    Group-ride from Newark Airport to West Point on Saturday night 11/30.

    I think you mean Saturday, November 30th.

    Nice.

    No, I saw the newbie's post you replied to so you weren't dreaming. :thumb: He/she also resurrected an ancient post on Leathermans.

    Ask Away

    I would contact Deb Dalton, the parent liaison. I believe for the last several years a female boot has been offered and she can tell you which brands they are if it wasn't readily apparent on her portal. Just my opinion, but I would make the drive to the PX that's 3 hours away to ensure a...

    Ask Away

    Typically the boots require very little breaking in. It sounds like yours do not fit well and are rubbing up and down on your heels. Did you buy them online or were you fitted for them in person at a PX, clothing sales, etc.? My grad wore a completely different size in boots and low quarters...

    Timing of periods

    Something else to consider along these lines is that you will not be allowed to bring in containers of Advil, Midol, Tylenol, etc., to self-treat cramps when you report to CBT. You will need to get that from the Medic or clinic.

    Since your son already has a nomination, why would he need a second one?

    Chances to receive an appointment?

    How can you be in Marching Band for 4 years and have 2 years of football, 2 letters, and were the captain? Wouldn't your marching band be on the field at halftime during the football game?

    Marijuana Second Hand Smoke

    So you have had concerns about this concert in previous years? My advice to cadet candidates/new cadets is "Don't be in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people." I would not take a chance on something stupid happening because of stupid people. My WP grad passed on a high...

    Question for Cadettes...

    It appears carolrich is a cadet herself so perhaps she is fine with the use of the word. I am curious why she would not ask another female cadet in her company about the various cadet functions though.

    Did you try searching the USMA forum to find the answer to your question?

    Anybody ever Uber from EWR (Newark) to USMA?

    Agree. West Point is hilly and R-Day will inevitably be hot, humid, and probably rainy. Bring a GPS or rent a car with one--it's a doable drive. I don't know where your hotel is but if it's not the Thayer or IHG on post that will only add to your hike . No sense in dragging your CC on a hike...

    need advice NOW (going to jail?)

    I hope he won't be like Bobby and try to return under different names two separate times. :biggrin:

    need advice NOW (going to jail?)

    This whole thing just seems trollish and a little too embellished to me.

    need advice NOW (going to jail?)

    Really. You post your legal woes in detail on a public forum to ask the opinion of complete strangers and now you ask for your privacy to be respected?

    Handy Reference for Everyday Word Mix-Ups

    And "advice" and "advise" are two different words. You can ask someone's advice OR you can ask someone to advise you. (As a personal pet peeve, I would like to ban the word "literally" until people learn how to use it properly.) :wink:
