I'm trying to branch Engineers, actually, because I wanna blow stuff up before I get put at some desk job.
For IN/ AR, definitely Sandhurst, it's basically the sport of infantry. MIADs are things like Air Assault, Airborne, Sapper, etc. You get those based off of your physical/ military grade. For Sapper/ Combat Dive, which are very competitive, there's a huge smoke session and whoever comes out is considered, generally based on physical/ military OML. If there's no football, I generally sleep in, do some homework, then hang with the rest of the people I know. Weekends are very relaxed as long as there's no training. For packing, wait until the list comes out then I'll let you know what I'd recommend. Graduation gift ideas? If you meant Beast graduation, then lots of greasy food. If you mean West Point graduation, wait until you affirm before you start worrying about that.
