    Help.. Things for PS

    Makes no difference what you buy or bring. I was very concerned about what to bring before my I-Day. Everything is issued. The extra stuff I bought became more of a burden than a blessing. It shouldnt be a point of concern. Bring everything on the list if you want. If you dont want to, then its...

    Gifts

    Plebers can't have sunglasses during plebe summer. They can have then during the academic year. My mom got me a magazine subscription for my birthday. Like a weekly news magazine. That was alright. There is something called a flip video recorder that is pretty cheap and a lot of mids like to...

    NASS vs. USMA SLS

    I know a few kids that did well on the ACT after doing USNA SS. It is very strenuous especcially on the last day. I slept the day after I was done, but I was good to go the next day. Plus, it will be like a test for Academy life. I am pullin two a day crew practices with classes in between at...

    Senior Grades Down

    The Academy is not going to drop your appointment. I remember I used to get scared about that last year, but they are more concerned with filling quotas right now. Once you have your letter in hand, then youre pretty much set. Just remember, the last six weeks of your senior year will be a lot...

    CVW - attire

    The drags that I have had wear dress shirt and khakis. maybe dress shoes. make sure your hair isnt too long, otherwise you might not fit in. Whoever said the weekend is for us to impress you, wrong. It's both. We will show you how the Academy works, but as an insurance policy, your host will...

    Combat Boots?

    Dont bring anything to Plebe Summer. You will have way more than you would ever expect. Everyone gets shin splints regardless of how much you break in your shoes. Fact of Life. If you have a pair of running shoes as a safety blanket, then bring them in a small zip bag that you can put the...

    Reef Points

    There is no point in learning reefpoints before you go. You will have more time than you need to memorize the information. You will just be standing up waiting for the next evolution. It would be a huge waste of time to memorize anything in reef points before you get there. Either way, youre...

    I got hurt...

    definitely get that checked out. I understand what it feels like to have a back problem. I thought it would turn out to be nothing, but because I didnt have it looked at until it was too late, it turned into a MUCH bigger deal than it should have been. Nip it in the butt while it's not that big...

    Athletic Recruiting

    Definitely pursue the coach to show that you're interested if you have genuine interest in the sport. Just shooting the coach an email couldnt hurt.

    Did my CFA today...how did I do?

    your mile might be a little slow, I ran a 7:30 at usnass and my cadre seemed fine with it, but I still brought it down to 6:15. (I was recovering from an injury when i went to ss so I wasnt in great shape). But true, not much you can do but wait.

    Medical Waiver Denied

    Physicians Rec. I didnt get to read my physician's recommendation until after my medical waiver was approved. I would have panicked if I had read it before though. It clearly said that the left side of my back had not completely healed (as this is the nature of the injury), but he OK'ed full...
