Before Beast my son never wore a watch, now he says he lives by it. We didn't get him anything fancy just solid black, water resistant, and durable. I think we got it at Wal-Mart.

Last year before R-Day my son received a letter stating based on his CFA scores he would be required to do "X" number of pull-ups on R-Day or he could possibly be dismissed. I guess they have had a real problem with false scores or the fact that someone is not strict enough in the techniques, so...

Last year it specifically said a coach could NOT do the SOE. (unless they are a PE teacher)

My son is currently at USMA and the PE recommendation was added last year and we thought it was silly. In his school district you take gym in 9th grade and never have it again unless you take a weight lifting, etc course. My sons PE instructor had retired, but thankfully he was in weight lifting...

Wow, I would kill for 20-30 minutes USMA New Cadets got 2 minutes for the first phone call.

Last year a PE instructor recommendation was also required, so a total of 4 teacher references.

My DS received the TWE in early April, so he accepted his USMA appointment. We haven't heard of any appointments personally.

You might want to double check, but I believe Senators can only nominate students that are legal residents of their state. Going to college in the state will not make you a legal resident there, you usually have to have to live over a year in a state to become a resident of that state.

DS's appointment was given a few weeks ago and he had to accept by May 1st.

DS got his TWE this morning as well.
