Hello. Had a few questions about VMI. I was wondering one, if you anyone had any information about Ranger Challenge and pointers with that at the Institute. Heard it was a very competitive tryout there. And also had packing questions. What stuff would you recommend packing for matriculation/rat year that isn't on the packing list? Any specific brands of anything proved better than others? Also, what's the deal with knives? I'll be doing AROTC. On the website, it says no knives. But upon visiting, Cadets told me they had knives and they come in handy on FTXs. So how does that work? Something after hell week? Also any graduation gift ideas would be cool. Thanks and have a nice day!
