    VMI- Worth the money??

    I know 40000 seems like a lot of money, but you have to remember that there are scholarships and grants. Also. FAFSA knocks out a huge chunk of that. I am paying around 1/5 of what I normally would have to because of fafsa. Throw in a few extra scholarships and I am almost going for free. There...

    VMI STP Travel Plans

    Question about military colleges

    Sounds like you need to do some soul searching. This is your life, people cant hold your hand and show you the path to go down. You need to make your own. I'm not going to tell you what to do, and no one else should. You need to decide for yourself. This is the one time in your life where you...

    Pentagon Religious Advisor Calls Christian Troops “Traitors” & “Spiritual Rapists"

    Have you read about Mikey from any other sources? Because according to this article he was never hired by the pentagon http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/05/01/no-christian-post-mikey-weinstein-was-not-hired-by-the-pentagon/ And this article says he met with the Pentagon, not...

    Pentagon Religious Advisor Calls Christian Troops “Traitors” & “Spiritual Rapists"

    Just thought I should throw this out there, the author Joe Calandra JR. is a nut job who cherry picks facts and spins them in a way that fits into his Tea Party agenda (read his other articles) and liberty news is more bias than anything that comes out of Bill O'reilly's mouth. So it seems to me...

    New 'religious tolerance' policies.

    The only reason it seems unbalanced is because the number of Christians is enormous when compared to any other religious group, especially in the military. Yes he attacks more Christians than anyone else, but that is because there are more Christians than anyone else. It is extremely difficult...

    Army Deaths Spur Campaign Against Supplements

    I agree with you completely. Protein powder and weight gainers are not at all a waste of money, when they are taken correctly with a strict lifting regiment and proper diet. After wrestling ended about 8 weeks ago, my coach gave me a workout and diet regiment that includes using whey protein and...

    SLE CFA

    the test administered during SLE is the actual CFA and WILL count for your application, at least it was last year. However, if you fail the CFA (around 50% do) you can retake it. Also, if you did not do well then you might be allowed to retake it.

    Qualified, awaiting appointment status

    Same situation for me. I sent in my papers for VMI and the wait is driving me nuts! But I assume no news is good news at this point because it means we are still in the running. A lot of of kids have received QNS letters and we are still here. Hopefully we won't be one of those kids who don't...

    SFAS and Ranger School

    I will admit I was one of those, "I want to be SF because they are badasses" kids then I did my homework and realized that they do more community building, like you said Scout, and it completely changed my perception of SF. Now I want to do SF because I like the idea of making a difference in...
