    I am not fully sure about the next steps, I would definitely keep in contact with LTC Bowen as your son will be getting his class list and what to register for from him.

    I am not 100% sure. I would contact both coaches at both schools to see. I do know that there are both sponsored and non-sponsored cadets at MMI that are currently playing sports. The rules just changed so that's why I am not 100% sure.

    If you google PT gloves, some good examples pop up and places to buy them. We wear them on the O course and then you can wear them in the mornings when it Is cold to PT.

    I previously mentioned that I was building a document that had some of my comments and suggestions on the packing list so here is that document!

    I use a Macbook air and I like it. I see a mix of different types of computers and tablets. Whatever you are comfortable using works well! You can also rent laptops from MMI!
