Sweet! This is what I plan to do as well. I've been interested in military affairs since I was about 5, so I figure I would do a major I like and think is awesome.

I think I read somewhere it depends on the severity of your injury...to quote "these will be handled on a case to case basis." So a sprained wrist, you'll probably be fine; fracture your femur somehow, well, enjoy your year off from college. On that note, if you are injured, does your entire...

I feel like if anything happens, it'll be because I snap my ankle getting out of bed on June 27th. That sounds like something that would happen to me...:eek:

I am wondering whether you can be injured over the summer and still be able to enroll in USMA. I am not planning on getting injured, of course, but I have senior trips to the Midwest with High School buds in May/June, and want to know how nervous I should be. I mean, I obviously will skip out on...

If you don't mind me asking, which High School does your DS go to? I remember hearing that someone from Hoover got in, and somebody from another local High School I can't recall the name of. Give them my congrats as a fellow AL-06, and I look forward to meeting them! I'm glad someone didn't...

Will do! He is still going strong...so is R48:rolleyes:.

I by no means meant disrespect or meant to belittle anyone's achievements. I was simply trying to add some humor to my situation - I was at a point that was fairly certain I was not getting in due to the competitiveness of my region. I was not saying I did last minute things or take a...

85. Currahee, 25 March '15, AL-06, Congressional Nomination (Bachus), BFE received. Notified of my nomination in school on March 25th, got the BFE on 28th or so (out of town when it actually came in), and accepted it on April 2nd. I live in Vestavia Hills, Alabama (AL-06) and got my nomination...

Do you know if he meant if you took writing with it? That definitly won't get there in time, but MC only should (at least I think it wilt).

I took it yesterday, but I also was planning on taking it (multiple choice only) on Febuary 7th. Is that too close to the deadline for USMA to get the scores? I was under the impression that Febuary was the final date to take it for USMA.

Shame. Some of the best memories I have are hiking in New Mexico, canoeing in Minnesota, waking up to fresh snowfall in South Carolina, and just plain hanging out with friends in the woods. Scouting needs some better recruiting methods that tell people it's not all about knot x and y; it is...

@ kinnem: thanks for the feedback. I sure hope a second walk through will make it click. I agree that different teacher can make a huge difference. My calculus teacher is all right, but I just struggle with math in general. My physics teacher on the other hand...well, I have already figured out...

I have. I am waiting to hear back from them on my application.

Thanks for the responses. It is becoming higher on my plan B list. I have heard good things about it. I also think Texas is pretty cool...and I would be close to Fort Hood and its hordes of M1 Abrams. I am taking it this Saturday, and again in February. The interview committee for my...
