No company has a 13:00 two mile standard. That's five seconds short of maxing the event. Most companies have a "company standard" of a 270 of the APFT. You can look up how APFTs are scored to get an idea of what you would need for a 270. Generally, if you do not meet this company standard on a...

I wouldn't say it's a terrible idea to have a contingency plan - coming from someone who didn't have one and needed one. After I was DQ'd just before R-Day I had to scramble to get an application in to a different college, and finding one that was still offering, still had classes available...

I heard about this from the Class of 2018 Facebook group, and even though I've never met Ryan and live across the country from his family, my prayers go out to them. If it's a shock to me to have already lost a classmate, I can't even imagine what those around him must be going through. I agree...

90 days is the range they give you, as I'm sure you know. Like 845something said, definitely go ahead and send in all of the relevant information for the waiver. Without knowing what the DQ was for, this could be surgery records, physical therapy/rehab schedules, follow-up documentation, medical...

Last year I found out first when I opened up the BFE - it was a nice surprise and I'm glad I got to experience it that way. This year I found out first through my portal being updated (that happened about a week ago and I haven't gotten the BFE yet).

Not too many, I hope! The story had a happy ending, or at least it does so far. I can only pray it keeps it. Thanks again for the congratulations and the support. It means the world.

What intramurals/Corps squad sports have you played, and what did you think about them?

I think she just joined the general West Point mom's page, not the specific class year one. I could easily be wrong about that - to be honest I haven't talked to her about it.

Thanks to all of you for the congratulations! It means a lot, and I definitely appreciate it. Childress, yes. Good memory! Oh, and mom3boys, I believe my mom joined last year. I would guess that she's still on it.

He, and no, I'm not, to the extent of my knowledge. Could someone direct me to that?

I just want to extend my thanks to this forum and the people here for the help that you guys offered me through my double-application process, especially last summer. I know that the chances of the general community remembering one passing member aren't high, but I want to thank you all...

It only matters in that I'm interested in it and knowing one way or another if I would be able to do it will change the way I work out in preparation. I won't be going for an overnight visit (can't afford the airfare at the moment), so I guess I'll just wait until the fall. Thanks for the info!

Hmm. Other than the team's page on the website and emailing the coach (I don't want to repeat email him with no response), do you have any idea where I could find out about that? Or will I just have to wait until I show up?

I really hate to bump this, but I'd love to get any information if there's anyone that wouldn't mind offering it. Does anyone know anything about the West Point powerlifting team, or similar competitive teams like it?
