    Thank you

    To the moderators and friendly people here who have helped me and my future classmates with our questions this past year. It's funny, because whenever we discuss what we've 'heard' that we're doing this summer, 95% of the time the source has been serviceacademyforums. Good Luck 2015...

    Platoon assignments

    And your average detailer could do how many push-ups? :biggrin: Not to sound obnoxious, but that has been a mini-goal of mine. Just wondering what I'm up against.

    Slightly injured- I-day medical exam

    If it's just a strain, and not that serious, and you can run through it.. there's no need to worry everyone on I-Day when you have even a slight chance of being sent home. Just my opinion. :redface:

    Nothing yet in Orlando.. when's the appropriate date to start getting worried?

    Platoon assignments

    On facebook, a girl in MD received an email, telling her platoon. Then two others commented with their company/platoon assignments. I have yet to receive said email, so do most others in 2015. Possibly due to time the PTR was completed/mailed in? :confused::redface:

    Lose 30lbs for Sprint Football?

    Yes, I've decided that I'll take Plebe year finding my niche, decide if I'll have time to spare for youngster year, and bulk up or find another sport accordingly. Thanks for the insight everyone.

    AP Stats Candidate Eval

    I always let my classmates who took AP Stat know that it wasn't a "pure" math compared to Calc BC. :shake: But I'm sure it's the recommendation that matters, not so much whether it's a "strong" math course. If there's any doubt, contact the regional coordinator, but I'm sure Stat would still...

    Sick at I Day

    If you are a mono carrier, would that jeopardize USNA/Plebe Summer during I-Day? I'm not sure if I'm a carrier or not..

    Application - requested "High School Official"

    Does your school have a website? If so, you could always call/email your counselor.. I met up with mine a couple of time over the summer when I came back from NASS. But to answer your question, no. It does not require much personal information. Something did ask (Don't remember if this question...

    Application - requested "High School Official"

    Talk to your counselor ASAP. My counselor by no means knew me personally, but then we sat down a couple of times for various scholarship apps, as well as the service academy applications, and she had a mini interview with me. Once she found out I was that dedicated, she became more amiable. I'm...

    BCG's

    Yes, I'd say just get them. It only 'costs' a completed form. :smile: My eyesight is not bad at all, I can see without them, and have gone without them for a while (though I do need glasses). So I just got two pairs civy glasses for the AC year, and requested BCGs. After all, it wouldn't harm to...

    Lose 30lbs for Sprint Football?

    Conversely to the original post, I got the sprint football letter, and my goal is to survive at least a week of practice, once it begins (plebe summer or AC year). I'm about 140 lbs., and I know I'm a bit underfed. (When I went to the 3 summer seminars week after week, I gained wieght). I'm not...

    practice cfa

    You killed it :thumb:. Work on your sprinting, (as the stretching, especially lunges help) but I don't think USNA cares so much (it's not a significant difference) Keep your grades/scores up, and good luck!

    Immediate Schedule

    Had nearly the same schedule (minus CGA..) You'll love it. Keep a positive attitude, and an open mind with everyone in your squad, and you'll have a blast. Best of luck to you.

    Injury during Plebe Summer?

    What would happen if a Plebe got injured during Plebe Summer? For example, the day after I-Day, he breaks his arm. Would he be separated? What about insurance? I know USNA recommends keeping personal health insurance, and I intend to, I'm just skeptical as to what happens if I get injured...
