    Thanks for the advice. I'll probably wait until after A-Day to decide. Out of curiosity, what is your major?

    Best socks for BEAST?

    For black dress socks, Feetures makes some great socks. They are comfortable, moisture-wicking, and don't fall down like other dress socks such as Gold Toe. For white athletic socks, I got Airacker. You can buy them in packs of 6 pairs. They're comfortable and durable.

    Soleus Injury

    About a month ago I injured my soleus while rucking. I didn't notice it until the week after, when I was running. I pushed through the pain that week, but when it kept hurting I decided to take a break from running. I haven't run on it since, and can definitely feel it getting better. I've been...

    Thanks for the advice. I may just bring a few books that I'll re-read and get the rest online or from the library.

    Personal Books

    I am a new cadet entering the Class of 2026. I am also an avid reader. How many personal books would I be able to have shipped to West Point once the academic year starts? Obviously not my entire library of 60+ books, but would 10-15 be realistic? I know I won't likely have much time for...

    Double Majoring

    No, definitely not as tough. I think everyone has a major and a minor. Not trying to discourage you from a double major, don't get me wrong. Just know that it is a significant commitment, in addition to all your military duties and mandatory athletics.

    Double Majoring

    Not sure exactly. I know it is possible; however, very tough. You certainly would not be able to double major and be involved with clubs, as far as I know. Hopefully someone else with more experience will add on to what I have to say.

    Got it, thanks.

    Parachute team

    That's what I expected. Do either count as a sport, or would I be doing one of them along with a traditional sport?

    Parachute team

    Is it possible to be on both the Parachute Team and one of the Black & Gold Sandhurst teams? I am very interested in both, and ideally would like to participate in both. If this is not possible, I would like to know that so I can prioritize one over the other. Much appreciated.

    Did you figure out more about the parachute team? I am very interested in trying out as well.
