We attend the bigger games like Navy-Air Force and what not, but we do have a NAPS football team here so we usually watch those games.

Not many, maybe 10 max.

Second and third week were a bit more relaxed as we got the hang of things

I just had a man issue with this during my application. They had me do a methacholine Challenge and consult with an asthma specialist. I also had to send in all of my pharmaceutical records. What helped me was writing a letter to admissions explaining my condition ( or really lack thereof) and...

It kind of is. INDOC was hard and my classes are pretty fast paced. We have have a bit more freedom than I thought we would since we have no upper class men, but we still police each other.

I had to get something corrected on one of my forms and they sent it back to me via DOD safe. I don't have a CAC card yet and the person did not give me a Claim ID or a request code. Is there any way to get around this or should I wait and call the office first thing tomorrow?

I had my recommenders write a general ( but solid) rec letter and copy/paste it into the nomination portals. Heads up, make sure they know to put "United States Service Academy" instead of "Senator Van Hollen's Service Academy". It is also a good idea to ask for a copy of the letters after they...

I think I got mine done after I completed my teacher recommendations( English and math), did my BGO interview, and passed my CFA. However, it still varies per person ( my friend and I got almost everything completed around the same time, but DoDMERB got to me first).

Agreed. I had my best friend, my favorite English teacher, and my JROTC Instructors read my essay, just to make sure it sounded like me (academic papers are my strong suit, personal statements aren't). Something that might help as well (idk I did this for some of my nomination prompts) might...

Aside from the things that are on the packing list and some blankets, is there anything else I should consider bringing? I already bought shower shoes and I know to bring some towels, but I want to make sure I don't miss anything else I might need. Also, would bringing a suitcase or a duffle bag...

your counselor can add your achievements in the EC verification part( including leadership). I would not recommend putting all your ribbons unless it's something like American Legion Scholastic, or like Sons of the American Revolution. Save that space for your other achievements

Hi, is there anything else besides the enlistment packet, the forms on the candidate portal, the immunization form, and the checklists in the brochure that I should be looking for or completing? I know that I'm supposed to wait for the information concerning my time slot on induction day but I...

Do you get to know your group/platoon for the summer training before you get there? When do you get your timeslot?

The EC verifier can attach a document if they want. I had my school counselor attach a document with my resume that included all my ECs. You can also update your admissions counselor with any new awards/ programs you've gotten/participated in up until the deadline if you already submitted your...
