My nephew is going to West Point July 1st. What would be a good graduation gift for him, besides money, that he could use at Beast or during the school year?
A digital frame loaded with a ton of his favorite photos......they are allowed one framed photo. Digital camera (not so much for beast but later). Nice set of headphones....also for after Beast. Mom3Boys suggestions are really about the only gift ideas that are good for Beast....they really are issued everything they need and are not allowed much extra. Gifts for new/cadets plebes are difficult as many of the restrictions on items are company dependent. Money and gift cards for later are probably most appreciated.
How about a nice Army style back pack that he/she can use to take what little they are allowed (Boots , Shoes, socks..) and still have his or her hands free during R-Day. It could also be used to pack during their travel home for the holidays..
p.s. I also posted this on another thread but wanted to get the West Point or
Maybe a recent plebe will comment, but most I know did not want anything that would make them look like a military wannabe. Which is a bit silly, as they are just that, but they really did not want to attract attention.
