After much thought, my dd declined her appointment this afternoon. She did not want to keep wrestling with the decision and hold the spot until 5/1. She said that too many kids deserve the opportunity now. Good luck!

DD received appointment this week. CA-31.

My DD received the same priority mail envelope yesterday. I thought this was a bit odd spending $5 to send these when everything is on-line.

My DS was sent the same form very late in the process. So it is better to know in Nov then Feb. He was fortunate to have a 21" neck for the BMI. APFT is not a big deal, but Miltary Movement/IOCT is absolute bear for big guys. He passed and hopes to never visit that torture chamber ever again.

What if you are a female candidate and you cannot complete one pull up, is that a CFA bust?

I think I have an answer as to why the Army is looking for new ways to train and motivate NC's: http://www.stripes.com/news/army/army-pvt-danny-chen-was-hazed-hours-before-suicide-family-says-1.165211

Received in SoCal today.

Summer Term Academic Program (STAP), has been around for quite some time. Many cadets that attend STAP are Division 1 athletes who carry a much larger time commitment than the Slugs who stay in their rooms and study. Many such as my DS were at STAP for 3 weeks following end of term. He was not...

I went with my son today to pick up a few things before he returns for CFT. He looks at me and says, "I've been in the Army 1 year today." It is amazing the first year just zipped bye. I asked him, "what do you think all of the new cadets are thinking right now? "The little rabbits are all...

This was kind of quirky area. My dd had to play with it a few times to get hopefully the right answer included. If you selected No on the graduation drop down it would not let you fill in the section i.e., drop down box "enrolled". My ds currently attends USMA...so to show enrolled you have to...

Application section: Please enter the Last Name, First Name, and Email Address of the High School Official from your Senior or Junior year for whom you want to fill out the USNA Candidate Academic Information Application on your behalf. If the CAR was already submitted to guidance...

I believe you will have two options: 1. Contact the travel department and they will book you a one-way pre-paid ticket from your preferred home airport. My son asked the nice folks to put him on the same plane as us and they worked it out. 2. If you buy your own one-way you will get...

Coach Ellerson will not respond to e-mails. You will get the opportunity during mass athletics to show the staff what you have. If you have never spoken with one of the coaches, do check out the position coaches and send them an e-mail. If you have any highlights from high school on dvd or...

The low quarters are Bates. They make a Lite version which we bought for our son last year. You can find them on ebay for less money. Don't worry about the shinning them before RDay. Just make sure you wear them around before you show up.

You have plenty of time other than checking off your on-line acceptance. You will receive a large envelope for x-rays. Keep copies of everything and bring with you to RDAY. Good luck!

Having a varsity letter and not having one will probably make or break most applications. Typically a varsity "letter" is not officially awarded until after completion of the particular sport. For example, football may not have the awards banquet until late Jan or Feb. My thought would be to...

1249 New Cadets for 2015 One powerpoint on RDay had 1250- The Superintendent announced 1249

I am surprised that Scout has not jumped on this one. Before any equipment is issued, each piece undergoes some form of inspection and trial. Hence the reason why New Cadets were offered 3 selections this year. I would think the ladies at the PX are NOT the ultimate authority or voice of the US...
