So I have a birthday coming up and asking for something like a game system seems stupid since i can't take it to west point. Does anyone have suggestions on stuff i can ask for that will help me at west point or that is required?

His first year my son wanted an optical mouse and better speakers. He also asked for a Droid this past year.

From your screen name it looks like you might be starting this summer, in which case you need to look at some of the earlier posts about what you can bring. Knife, flashlight, disposable camera for beast. Not much is allowed until you are done with basic.

My son is like you ! For Christmas we bought him a leatherman ,a watch that will last thru plebe summer and a pair of the Nike (not sure of the proper name) combat type boots.

The cadets are allowed to wear them in Beast / Plebe year?

[crs_mom]

That is my understanding from a friend who is a cadet. They can purchase them in the cadet store.
