Another tip... Boots are just like big bad tennis shoes now. It goes by personal preference but in the boot letter last year you had a choice of 3: The Khyber Mountain Hybrid, a Belleville and I forgot what the last one was. I tried on several and thought I liked my bellevilles till I started...

I would accept the West Point application if you're positive. That will give you more time to complete all the paperwork and account for any potential delays in getting everything done. The sooner the better. The second point is like Navy Seal Mom said, it opens up the position for another...

What is this?

They meet in the Batcave every Thursday night, actually, with a cold beer for a game of poker. They bet with applicants as poker chips :p Sorry it didn't answer your question but the thought was humoring for me. A mindset that helped me when I was stressing about not knowing during my 2016...

You're more than welcome to profile page here and I'll invite you, or you can e-mail me at pjodonnell@broncs.utpa.edu with your info if you don't want it on public forums.

Probably because one person gets hundreds of messages and its a way to limit everyone asking? But that would defeat the purpose of creating the group.

Also my FFR let me know that my BFE should be coming in Monday/Tuesday at the latest. I'm going to assume that people with LOA's might be getting theirs in a delayed wave as well. Not positive, though.

blugh yeah. There's nothing like being happy over the paperwork from this admissions process. Its worse than being a district "winner" in The Hunger Games. I mean the portal hasn't changed yet, either!

The stress of this application procedure is worse than The Hunger Games...

I received a letter from the admissions office, signed by my RC, saying my packet would be among the first wave mailed out but I haven't received my BFE yet and I have no official correspondence yet. Should I call the office and see whats up? I mentioned it to my FFR and he said I'd be...

:popcorn1: I'm so lost as to where the friction in this thread started. I was reading the dating thread and scoutpilot was the one that mentioned the nickname "Mt. St. Mattress." My pops graduated in the class of the lady (1980) and told me when we were visiting about that nickname, so because...

West Point sent me a letter through regular mail. My portal does NOT show that I've got an official correspondence. However I had a letter of assurance because I was accepted to the class of 2016 but could not attend due to circumstances out of my control.

I'm in the TX-28 district. I received an official letter from USMA earlier confirming that my BFE would be among those in the first wave mailed out, and I haven't received mine yet. I know mine is coming, but there's still nothing like receiving the real deal. I live in the southern tip of...

Agreed. If in your state there's a district that has a lot of military bases most of the candidates there will have a slight advantage in terms of knowledge. They tend to do a lot of leadership stuff and have strong grades, too. Only reason I know is because my nominator told me this; I got...
