    Accepted!-SLS

    robehren, I was also in 5th squad 5th platoon! I was in the second session, and remember the dumbbell award very well. The point is, the cadre do want to have fun as long as you don't upset the CO or 1st Sergeant. As long as you do want you are told, you really can't go wrong.

    Nomination Apps vs USMA App

    Just a quick question, Is it okay to reuse some of the same verbiage from my West Point Candidate Statements on my nomination essays? Or will my MoC be able to see that the writings are the same?

    CFA passing score for females!
