I run in the nike zoom pegasus. I run 35-50 miles a week and they hold up pretty well. It's all just personal preference though. I'd probably go to the local running store and try on some shoes and see which ones feel the most comfortable. Hoka's, Brooks, Nike, Saucony, New balance, and Asic are...

I'm no criminal by any means, but I was wondering if I had to include a traffic violation in my police report on the forms which were made available to those appointed for the class of 2025? I had a speeding ticket for 5 over when I first got my license and was wondering if it was necessary to...

I did end up getting the nomination, and a few days later received an appointment. I have already accepted my appointment, and was...

I am fortunate enough to have received an LOA back in September. Just got the 3Q Letter about a week ago. However, I still have no nomination. In an attempt to get a nomination, I reached back out to all of my Senators and asked if I could be reconsidered for a nomination. One senator gave me...

Great Chances. Start training for CFA Now. Practice doing perfect form pushups. Also apply for nominations as soon as the applications are open. Also apply through every single nomination source.

Keep me updated on how that meeting goes

Wondering what is next for me. I received an LOA Back in October. Since then I completed everything in my application, and passed the CFA, did my exams, wrote all my statements and the whole 9 yards. However, I still haven't got a nomination. I figured that if I had an LOA, it wouldn't be too...
