    West Point SLS

    You should be fine. A number of the new cadets in CBT right now are still 17. That is the minimum age for reporting to WP.

    USMAPS Questions

    So why did they send him to USMAPS? Doesn't seem like he fit the profile of needing academic remediation, being a recruited athlete, or being prior service?

    Loa consideration

    Last year there were certain application requirements to be considered for an LOA. The file did not need to be complete. Maybe someone on here who is involved with admissions can share the information about which items must be in.

    Help me find photos?

    Someone recently posted a news item that was a collection of photos from each academy's first day. I'd like to share it but- alas- have not been able to find it. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

    Blade is just under the 4" max but it doesn't fold so total length is 7-8". Appreciate your thoughts.

    Multitool/Knife My son isn't sure, reading the packing list, if the multitool/knife must fold? His knife does not. Does any current cadet know? Thanks in advance.

    Picture frames are not on this year's list for R Day due to breakage issues- they may be brought on A Day (this info originated with Debra Dalton).

    Another 2016 parent here-correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think any underwear except compression shorts is authorized for male new cadets to bring to Beast- tighty whiteys are issued and compression shirts are not okay to bring.

    concussions cause DQ?

    billyb, You can familiarize yourself with the criteria by reading the official document, found here: http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/613003p.pdf I think concussion is under "neurologic"- approx. page 45 Hope that helps.

    Should Medical records be brought with you to the physical exam?

    I don't think so. When we went through this process there were specific forms to bring, then a straightforward qualification/disqualification process. Where the records come in handy is after being disqualified, when seeking a waiver.
