PLEBE

Can I ask how long the wait was in between the time you received your nomination and the time you got your appointment since you had an LOA?
 
Also, are there any realities of USMA that differed from your expectations, and in what way? What do you suggest we do to physically prepare ourselves before plebe summer? (I heard someone joking about holding the push up position for hours and hours)
 
Run and practice these exercises.

My DS is interesting in the Climbing Team. Are you part of the team?

Can you tell us what season you can participate? Is it year around?
How hard is it to make the team?
How demanding are the practices and the game schedule?
If you are on the team, do you have to participate in other athletics such as company club sports?

Pull-ups. Literally. Get good at pull-ups, running, and push-ups. You will do all three almost every day (running for sure every single day).

I actually tried out for the team and didn't make it... But I'm sure I have met your DS. The climbing team is awesome!! They are some of the best cadets.
 
Will you try out again next year? My son is on the team and absolutely loves it...they do practice a lot. They get passes and go to the gunks and also spend spring break climbing.

Maybe! I probably know your son, especially if he goes to church or OCF because I'm friends with most of them :)
