I had a similar situation, though in reality every case is different. I was on meds up until age 15, and did not have any attacks on my history. USMA paid for me to take a Methacholine Challenge Test to give them better proof on whether to grant or deny me a waiver. I passed the test and USMA...

I think if the fine is over 300(?) it will require a legal waiver. I had a Seat Belt ticket and I was fine.

I'll take your advice and not draw attention to myself. Getting the attention of my cadre would be worse that having to endure mild shin splints. Thanks Scout

I like to wrap my shins sometimes in order to prevent splints, which is why i would be using the tape. Would that require a medic, or could I simply apply it on my own since its only preventative treatment?

Will we be able to acquire sports wrapping tape at West Point during CBT? Or should we bring plenty of it along?

I talked to my RC and he said I will not have my appointment rescinded. I just need to scan the ticket and email it for him to put it on file.

The ticket amount was only $25, but with $126 extra for court fees. I contacted my RC and told him the details. I'll probably get an email back from him tomorrow.

Will a ticket for not wearing a seat belt affect an appointment to USMA? The officer said it would not appear on my record.

Would it be allowed to bring a knee strap to CBT to prevent tendinitis?

I recently looked on the aviation slots thread and saw where someone had noted that the slots ran out at number 850. Does anyone know how far Infantry slots lasted?

I've heard and read that if you opt for 8 years active, instead of 5, you will get preference of your branch. Can anyone confirm this?

So about a fifth of the class will branch Infantry. Do you know the number of slots for the Armor and Artillery branches?

Could someone explain how West Point assigns Cadets to the branch they will serve in upon commissioning? What criteria helps you get your first choice? How many infantry slots is USMA given?

And what I will probably do is wear my luminox in the field, and just use the alarm watch when needed.

The only thing about the luminox is that it does not have an alarm. I have a cheaper watch for my time at beast that has an alarm, but I plan on using the luminox for many years to come. Just have to replace the watch band that has the Navy SEALs logo on it haha
