that's a long wait from graduation! How does it work during the wait for BOLC? does the new officer still get fully paid and service time accrue for the wait for BOLC (does this count towards the 5 year service obligation while they await BOLC?) or does the 5 year clock start during BOLC? just...

I will be going thru the same emotions this weekend as my 91 year old father- in law -who was a Korean War vet just passed (3 days after turning 91) and will have military honors this weekend at his service. He left quite a legacy of serving our country not only for himself but passed it on with...

I believe they lost more than that if turn backs are included in this count? for instance, 1229-1177 = 52 cadets fewer in the class size (but if turn backs are now added back in/included in this current class size then there would have had to have been more separated that resulted in that 1177...

I have heard that this is the last semester at West Point that cadets can qualify for the German Proficiency Badge. Does anyone know if that is accurate? and if so why? I have heard many cadets are trying to get qualified this semester as a result. What percentage of cadets earn this badge? thanks

just curious if anyone knows details about WP scholarship program? My Ds received an email that invited him to an upcoming briefing on Some grad school scholarships. He just began his yuk year so I was wondering how many cadets are participants in this program, how the selection process works...

I have heard about some cadets achieving the Recondo badge during CFT and there was discussion about what percentage of cadets achieve that? I understand it entails reaching certain scores on marksmanship, land nav, obstacle courses, CFT, etc so it sounds like one has to be very well rounded to...

West Point Cadet Captain pictured with Hillary Clinton. Even though the article itself is apparently about empowering young women (which I am all for as a proud dad of an amazing young woman) the magazine itself seems to be belittling the CIC through the editorial page and now Chelsea Clinton...
