Heard the other day that the Crystal Enterprises staff learned that 3/4ths of them are to be let go after the food provider contract changes over. They happened to learn this just before this 'incident'. I've been very wary of any food being served in delano lately. Pb&Js have kept me afloat.

But it is a much better place to be from. ;)

Take it with a grain of salt, as I have only heard through unofficial sources, but I believe KP tries to diversify their geographical representation in the regiment. So if you're from a state without many applicants, as long as you meet the minimum standards, you have a greater chance of being...

Hey! I got in with like a 3.4 unweighted GPA. I was a captain of a sports team for a couple years in high school and my ACT score was much higher than I think I deserved, but I was genuinely surprised to get an offer from KP. That being said, sure it would not be a bad idea to partcipate in a...

Band Co is looking to bring in more plebes that are musically talented right now. They’re instructing the DI’s to ask their candidates if they’d be willing to join band co after indoc. Seems likely he’d be accepted into Band Co.

AFOQT is what you’re referring to. Air Force Officer Qualifying Test.

If ALL of the specifications are adequate, you should be fine NOT buying an academy laptop/tablet. You just have to turn it into the DoIT at the academy for them to format it/put their software on it. Weird how there is not specific instructions regarding this. Worst case they make you buy the...

Shoot for sub-11 and you’re good either way.

I spoke to the guys who went to airborne school in my class. Two out of the three got ‘honor cadet,’ which I think is what you’re talking about, because im pretty sure thats what the most recent guy recieved as well. The award is given to the top graduate who is in a direct commissioning...

The Latitude is a solid machine, but DoIT still manages to bog it down immensely with their background software. I still think this effect would be tenfold on a tablet with less processing power.

ALL electronics are considered contraband during indoc and are required to be turned over to the honor board staff during in-processing. If contraband is found throughout indoc it will be taken seriously. Not sure if any information has been sent out yet regarding this but I recommend having...

I’ve heard the touch response is slower than expected, and I assume it is because of the underlying processes DoIT has running in the background. I’ve specifically heard that running AutoCAD, a software needed for engineers in certain classes, is a frustrating process. Again, probably heavily...

Recently learned that 2023 is being issued Microsoft ‘Surface’ Tablets in lieu of traditional laptops. Several of my classmates have been participating in ‘trials’ using these tablets. To be concise, these tablets are AWFUL. They are barely up to standard for a midshipman to use in the...
