I'd recommend that you be able to do a pull-up. I trained to do one and it helped my CFA a lot. Also, I was a Girls' State delegate! I'd be happy to share my experience through PM, or you can respond and create a thread. I had a great experience and learned a lot about myself and others.

Only waiting on DoDMERB/waiver process right now! I got notified of my nomination a couple of days ago and got an LOA back in October. It's been exactly a year since I started this process. Hopefully, all goes well with my waiver.

Hi everyone I have some questions about ACT/SAT scores for ROTC/NROTC ACT (superscore): 35 Reading: 36 Math: 32 Science: 35 English 35 Writing 9 ACT best single seating: 34 Math 31 Reading 34 Science 35 English 35 Writing 9 SAT superscore: 1480 Reading: 720 Math: 760 SAT best single...

I trained for around a month or two to do a full one, but I was also in the gym before and was almost able to do it before I started training. I got a pull-up bar and put it in my doorframe, so whenever I walk in and out of my room I do a pull-up. It honestly helps a lot to get a pull-up bar. I...

Are cadets required to pass both methods of BF% calculation? I did some unofficial calculations, and using the first method, my BF is around 32%, but using the second method it's 26-27% (depending on whether the weight in my DoDMERB portal is used or the weight I took just now. I was about 1 lb...

It was definitely performed correctly. I've played softball for a long time, so the movement and direction-changing technique of the shuttle are very natural for me, and I also have trained much more extensively in explosive movements and short-distance speed (as you can probably tell by my mile...

Did my CFA today, uploaded my videos, and feel better now that it's done. I have to send it in now for West Point, but should I redo it for Navy? I'm glad I was able to complete it and get it in on time after rolling my ankle. 😅 (Female) Basketball Throw: 38 ft. Pull-ups: 1 Shuttle Run: 7.3...

Senator Dianne Feinstein recently passed away. Her office stopped accepting nomination packets, and in my portal, it says the name of the new Senator, however, her website isn't fully set up yet. Not really sure if that answers your question though, since this is a little bit of a different...

From what I've heard, the calculator may be slightly off, but is decently accurate. Not sure though, the academies are pretty secretive about their scoring.

Got my DoDMERB results back today and when I checked I was pending disqualification. I'll likely be disqualified after sending in the requested documents, so I'm hoping that I can get a waiver. Codes: R259.10: Applicant pending Disqualification for D271.40 - History of acute allergic reaction...

I had my medical a week ago, and I printed the 18-page packet and used that. When I go to the DoDMETS website, I can't find a specific packet for the optometry exam, it only has my medical exam packet and where the eye exam is it's greyed out and says "see optomotrist." Is there a specific...

I was definitely not going to submit it late. I'm trying to get my file together (except for nomination) by October 1st, 2 weeks before the deadline. Thank you for the advice!

I received an LOA for West Point around a month ago, and am afraid I'm going to fail the CFA. I'm taking it this Thursday, and have to submit it by 10/15/23. If I send the results on the day I take it or very soon after, if I fail will my LOA be rescinded? I've heard it takes a while for them to...
