It’s a passing time but you definitely want to be faster than that. Because if you get in West Point or happen to go ROTC, you’ll have to do the APFT/ACFT and that’s a 2 mile run. And best recommended for eating before CFA would be a light breakfast that has mainly carbs (oatmeal, granola bar...

Thank you!!

Thank you very much!

So I’m a political science major and for this upcoming semester, I will be taking a politics class on a day I have LLAB and ROTC class. However, I heard that if you’re in uniform, you’re not really supposed to express your political opinions. The class is on tuesdays and thursdays and we...

You’re fine man. Now all you gotta do is be mentally prepared and get/stay in physical shape! Prepare by doing pushups, sit-ups, pull-ups and ESPECIALLY running a lot!

It wouldn’t hurt to send it

Everything looks really good! However, work on your mile run. It’s really slow. But you got this!

I applied for the scholarship during the summer...

I’m a contracted Cadet on a 4 yr scholarship and on the Ranger Challenge Team Since I’ve been helped so many times on this forum, I thought it would be nice to give back! Ask away!
