LOL. I can make it to my classes. I just thought I was a little "smarter" doing everything on the upcoming day's lesson plan the night before, basically doing what I would have done eventually a little earlier. Doesn't matter looks bad on my part.

Some food for thought... I also just recognized there might be a difference in absences in online school and in-person school. Absences are usually marked for individual classes. So if one were to miss a full day of in-person school(perhaps they were sick or smt), their attendance record would...

That is indeed the question I was asking. Many responses aimed to correct this behavior and let me know it will not be accepted as a cadet. However, I was asking if the attendance will affect appointment status even if grades are maintaned at an excellent level. As to excusing the absences, my...

Thank you for all the responses. I recognize that this behavior will lead to a rude awakening. I will correct this and diligently attend my classes, even if I have finished that day's assignments already. I will change this behavior and my mindset so that I am ready in the coming summer and fall.

Some clarification for why I am missing some classes. My high school is online this year. Attendance does not directly affect grades at my school, and frankly, I have found that online school allows me to better learn some materials than I would through some teachers. Online school also makes it...

Quick question, would West Point rescind an offer of appointment for a significant amount of absences? Even with good grades as a second-semester senior? Some senioritis has kicked in, and I have been slacking off on attending some of my classes this semester. My absences have not affected my...

For sure, wrestling is probably the most important skill for a real world or MMA fight. Fights will always end up on the ground eventually, if you don't know how to handle things there yeah you're pretty screwed.

I agree with this! Muay Thai especially is much more effective than TKD by itself in any real-world or MMA situation. Though, I could see how TKD could be a good supplement to MMA, with all the different kicking skills. However, TKD by itself is limited in its ground and punching capabilities. I...

Thank you! I did not know USNA had such a rich boxing history. As for TKD, I understand that there are many "McDojos" that give the martial art a bad rep for handing out black belts in such little time. However, it took me 10 years to become a 1st Dan and another 2 to become a 2nd Dan at my...

Hello, I recently accepted an appointment for West Point and am interested in Boxing as a Club Sport at USMA. I grew up in combat sports as I have a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo and experience with Muay Thai. However, my sophomore year, I stopped as I wanted to commit to high school team...

After some time waiting for my CFA to finish pending, I recently received a letter in my portal stating that I am fully qualified(3Q) and placed on the NWL. I was also notified last month that I was given a principal nomination from my congresswoman. I am still waiting on my high school to...

Mine turned green on the 12th. It was pending for about a month.

I am in the same situation, I have not been contacted about any problems, but it is still marked as pending. It has also been about a month.
