Has anybody's portal gone up yet because it says June 15th but mine has yet to come up. Any ideas?
My portal's up. However, MAJ Belmont said this is an exception. MOST should be open by now. Check back by the end of the week.

I'm thinking about bringing my ukulele to beast. I know we're allowed to bring 1 musical instrument to bring with us. Anyone advise against it?
Just my two cents, but I would definitely advise against it. A class of '11 guy brought his elecric guitar with him and was henceforth known as New Cadet Rockstar. A musical instrument will definitely attract attention of the wrong kind; plus, you really won't have time to play it until after Beast.
I know that new cadets will be issued underwear, but may we bring our own as well?
I realize this may blow some minds...
You do not NEED compression shorts. I've read more sturm & drang over those stupid shorts on this forum in the past 6 months. Every morning, hundreds of thousands of US Army soldiers perform all manner of physical activity without compression shorts. It's really not that bad. I've never worn a pair for PT. Ever. It looks incredibly unprofessional to have compression shorts poking out from under your uniform (despite the reg allowing for it).
Pack what you're authorized. Wear what you're issued. Countless cadets before you have done it. We're all just fine.
This year on the New Candidate Packing list straight from USMA it is recommended that you bring compression shorts, so I would think that would mean that they are authorized.

Most cadets go to either Air Assault or Airborne in the second summer between their Plebe (Freshman) and Yearling (Sophomore) years at the academy. Additionally, there will be more opportunities in the other summers to try out for slots to the more advanced military schools such as SFAS, SERE, SAPPER, and Pathfinder just to name a few.
I know this has been brought up before, but I was wondering if there were any tricks to getting stains out of the boots. My boots are nice and comfy now, but they've picked up some grime from a hike I did last week and I havent been able to get it all out
Scout, just going to bump this as I don't know if you saw it. If you had any tips on getting stains out, it would be awesome. Thanks!
