    Textbooks @ USNA

    Let me put it this way. I was an econ and poli sci double major, and at one point I just decided not to buy my books. Turns out I didn't need them. Teachers are required to have textbooks, no matter what, even if they're no good and don't plan on using them. And yes as a plebe you'll be issue...

    when to apply?

    Think of it this way. The later you apply the more spots they've already given out. I was done in September and early accpeted on Halloween, minus the nomination. Interviews were later in Nov. As soon as I got one they sent an official official acceptance in dec. Early early early, august if you...

    Don't take a tour. You can just go straight to the source. Ask a mid. Free of charge.

    Women's Crew

    You need to walk onto the crew team before they make cuts if they do during that given year. My year they did. How tall are you, and how much do you weigh? And bodytype? If you don't mind me asking. I LOVED crew, and wish id done it as a plebe. I was a novice as a sophomore but ended up making...

    Textbooks @ USNA

    You CAN sell them back... but I've found you should wait to buy books to see if you'll actually need them (not the case with math, engineering, and languages) but most other things. And DON'T buy from USNA, buy online. Usna rips you off.

    30th Company ????

    Hahahahahahaha, all very true, back to the murder I was talking about. And yes now good access to gate 1. The comment about the ladies, very true I'm assuming and convenient. Things of that sort didn't happen much in 5. Not dirty enough. Too snitchy.

    Summer Seminar double/triple attendees

    I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. Summer Seminar changed my mind, and I had no interest in wanting to be a pilot. I don't regret it, but USAFA IS easier living after the first year. I would argue their first year is worse than ours but ends earlier in March... and my plebe year...

    Words of Wisdom - for Plebe Summer (Parts I and II)

    Virtually the only way to get extra leave is to get 0 block training. So, ask for zero block training. Also, things like soaring, sailing, and maybe yp's are shorter training blocks and also yield more leave.

    30th Company ????

    1 and 2 were probably 3 and 4, and the two new 1 and 2... its like a tongue twister. And 30 lives on 8-4, top deck, farther from anything than anyone wants to be. If the bell rings you're already late for class, despite the fact that I could leave my room 5 minutes after it rings and be on time...

    music question

    They CAN have musical instruments. For the most part plebes stay up as late as they want on the weekends and in my company I recall a few hallway jam sessions... couldn't help but let them when some of them could legitimately play AND sing stairway to heaven. One time we were waxing our rooms...

    5th Company

    SHE called it a floor so as not to confuse the civilians this site is supposed to be helping. Not everyone will know what a deck is. And I remain loyal to the opinion that being in 6 will always be considered better than being in 5, even memphis' son in 6 said so. Also, I know EXACTLY who your...

    5th Company

    Oh And you live on the top floor which just sucks. 6 lives on the bottom floor and lives the easy life.

    5th Company

    Hahahaha I JUST graduated from 5th company, and whoever said may the force be with you had it right. I know all of your detailers as well as training sergeant and officer... and well I won't speak to that, but I'll say it's usually a VERY annoying company to be in, much more of a hassle than...

    Cancer

    I would find evidence of people at the Academy who have overcome cancer to have documented evidence that they are thriving and just to have a precedent.

    A West Point Speech

    I laughed... maybe I do belong. Sounds like something I would say. Thank you. Those were great stories. I love to hear about the goodness that is still left in the world, and to know that I will soon be going to a school where I will form such bonds.

    Boodle!!!

    I am walking into the Academy with my paperwork, my running shoes on my feet, and my calculator in my hand. My parents are walking to the post office and sending me the other things I need on I-Day once I tell them my address. You will not want to carry anything else on I-Day except for what...
