Try really hard to study abroad. Let them and your DAC know early.

My class, 2021, had a yuk purge. Second semester came with a round of academic boards and honor boards en masse. Every other day I would hear about someone else who was gone. It was parodied with a big music number in our 100th Night Show which might be why you are hearing about it as a 2024.

Others have explained it but yes while these are issued items you are going to want more than just what they give you not to mention the quality is usually poor. If I ever used the issued underwear or socks it was for shining my shoes or things had gotten bad because those were my last resort...

If you receive an appointment you will get packing lists ranked by priority from USMA. Red light is decently low on their list but it is an essential otherwise you'll be stumbling around in the dark trying to conduct hygiene. Pack socks and underwear until you don't think it would be physically...

I'm a member of the class of 2021. The only thing I've done so far at the Academy is complete CBT and survive my first few weeks of academics (particular verbs were selected for a reason there.) Some things stayed the same and some things changed this year for CBT. A lot of people have questions...

I'm a 2021 and went through this. I went to NASS and took the CFA there. That was the only one I ever took and I contacted my RC via email to send it to USAFA and USNA. Real easy. I believe your chances of getting asked to record videos of your pull-ups and push-ups, though, do go up. I had to...

There's still a chance to come to the light side! In all seriousness, keep your mind open over the next few months as you seriously consider your applications and futures. Consider all of your options! Not just the school but the service and opportunities afterwards, of course. Obviously my...

I started when I was about 14 and I've been going on about 1 per year since then. Look up Benny Lewis Fluent in 3 Months. I use his methods.

When I applied to SLE I looked like this: 32 composite score ACT Model UN Officer with awards JV and Varsity lacrosse with scholar athlete awards Interpreter for mission trip to Honduras, mission trip assistant coordinator for return trip Church group officer National Honor Society Spanish...

What are the wisest and most effective decisions to make concerning the money a cadet accrues while at West Point? Not really look for specific investment ideas but what has worked and hasn't worked for you, what might be unique about personal finances in military life, or largely unknown...

Have some questions ready about cadet life or activities available. They're there to help.

Read a lot about USMA! Know some history. Know about your obligations at the academy and beyond. If you're MALO served then ask them plenty about what their experience was like.
