As a mama of 2 OG's - one with no LOA/LOE and one with a LOE who both were star men, star and wreath men - live in the moment. Embrace all opportunities. We spent too much time wondering and speculating. Both ended where they needed to be and continue to flourish.

I will let the Rhodes Scholars know.

Is that why there are almost double the Rhodes Scholars at USMA than USNA? I have always wondered that.

Helm yeah! He always makes me laugh.

My OG currently in BOLC has stated he was more prepared for BOLC and was able to prepare for the GMAT simultaneously. Tested in November and received the score he wanted. He has enjoyed more freedom and looks forward to his first post. The opportunities at USMA far outweigh the lack of freedom...

Completely agree. I was not a fan of how USMA handled the cheating in Math 104. I do wonder how this topic has been completely glossed over when the conversation was heated on the USMA board. Edited to add - not a huge conversation on the post about shot gunning. So many were all over how USMA...

Both of my sons appeared to have lost weight during Beast but both actually gained weight. My ‘23 has been in the field for almost a month and he hasn’t complained about food. The grab and go during the academic year is a huge help. Academic year 20-21 was a challenge for the mess hall both...

Is there a different cadet oath for D1 athletes?

Do cadets who cheated get another year of athletics? That would be unreal on the dime of taxpayers.

Where are people reading about cadets and mids logging into a website? Has that been released by either USMA or USNA? I have not read that anywhere.

My favorite holiday for all of the listed reasons.
