Thanks for all the advice thanks a lot!

What is a good, reliable, reasonably priced, watch that I can get for USMAPS and the academy? I don't want to just get any one that I see on the shelf.

Hopefully everything turns out fine for me there!

So your saying that when I graduate USMAPS I will get a service nomination?

Nice! Where you from?

How likely is that I will get a nomination while at USMAPS? I'm guessing pretty likely considering I am actually attending USMAPS. It shows that I have the drive to do well in USMA. Will a congressman see this and say "this kid is definitely getting a nom" ?

I got my offer on March 28th! Are you going to USMAPS too?

I am only wondering if a nomination is essential to get into USMA or is it just another plus on your application that says that this candidate is ready to get accepted.

Awesome quotes! Thanks for the support

I did apply for nominations as well. I had interviews that went fairly well I thought but I am a but nervous because I am in no way shape or form associated with any JROTC programs and there were kids there that were. It was a bit nerve racking. I have yet to hear back from them

I was a varsity wrestler for 2 years and a 4 year varsity for track and field. I throw javelin. I ran cross country for my senior year for fun and got a varsity letter along with honorable mention. I am a 2 year captain as well for track. The only thing physically wrong with me is that I wear...
