Hey, I am currently a plebe here at the academy and actually got in under similar circumstances to your DD. I got an LOE and my MOC noms were to USAFA, so I only had my ROTC category nom to go on. I got my LOE in October-ish and my appointment in mid February if I remember correctly. Their...

Also, if anyone knows what an Army career looks like with this job (i.e. promotions, longevity, job security, etc.), I'd be really interested in that as well.

Hey everyone! I've recently been looking at potential careers in the Army and saw that in addition to helicopters, the Army has a small amount of fixed wing aircraft. Does anyone have any info on this? I have seen some of the other threads on this subject, but I'm interested in how many of...

What does recognition mean at USMA? I know at USAFA they do a 3 day thing, so is there something similar at USMA?

Thanks man. I just heard from some people it was a good idea and I just wanted your opinion. Another thing tho, what is the running like? I think you already talked about how it's split up into groups, but what are the distances like? And how frequently do you run during beast? Thanks again...

for ya* and non-prescription*

Hey everyone! Question your ya TPIAD, on the packing list for Beast, they say not to bring any no-prescription meds, but that we may be able to buy some at the cadet store. Do you remember anything about this? Also, any painkillers you would recommend haha?

I was not told I was the principal, just that they ranked nominees. To be honest, I got a nom from Perdue as well, so I may have gotten in using his nom, but I was not told in any correspondence with the academy. I also thought they did not rank their nominees, but this was technically the first...

I believe the congressman does it for all academies. It wouldn't make sense, in my mind at least, to do it for one and not the others.

They didn't tell me if I was the principal, but they told me they ranked the nominees. I was notified by a call from the congressman and then my senator.

If it's of any interest, I was told they ranked their nominees.

I got a nom from his office and received an appointment to USAFA.

Good evening! I have been very fortunate this past weekend to have been accepted to USMA, making that two appointments so far (the other being to USAFA)! However, although I am very grateful for this amazing opportunity, it leaves me with a rather tough question: USMA or USAFA? Both are great...
