I did the same thing with the plan of going to the Naval Academy. Wouldn't really recommend it. I don't know why everyone's GPA is terrible during the Ratline, mine was a 3.6 during that semester and that's as high as it ever got. (IS Major). I was turned town again and given a slot at NAPS...

They just need to be long enough to fit around the hay and be tied off, you can err on the side of big, it doesn't really matter too much, it will look the same unless the sheet is massively too large.

Bro...2014 here...I'll be happy to pick out a random rat or something for you. PM me. Or just ask someone, jesus.

I don't quite understand your question. Natty guard or reserves, maybe. There are quite a few here, mostly Natty guard and couple Marine reservists.

I stand corrected. Your PFT is really good.

No class of 2016. Going around saying that is a great way to make yourself noticed. Anyway, yes, you look like you will easily be admitted. EDIT: Ah, that Army. Work on your situps, otherwise you will fail the VFT. You look like your fast but not very strong. Make sure you can do lots of...

There is no such thing as a transfer to VMI. You will be a rat and a third and then graduate if you stay on track. Anyway, the rats are coming tomorrow so you've already made your choice. Hope to see you tommorow! Lot's of fun. :biggrin:

I'm pretty sure that the 2011 Corps XO was the only one to get an officer slot, although at least one guy I know went enlisted, which is a much easier slot to get.

I can tell you as a current rat that no one I know has run the block or even talked about it, and doing so would be really, really stupid. Also- what company you go into isn't absolute. Bravo and Golf are the same height, and Foxtrot (FYI they'll whine if you don't call them f-troop) and Charlie...

Sorry about that then, I forget where I heard that. I'll take another look. Thanks.

People would likely take you much more seriously if you didn't put up such sloppy posts, by the way. I'm really not trying to be a dick, but it really makes you look unintelligent, whatever the actual case may be. FYI, I'm preparing for Naval Special Warfare right now, and if you look around...

I'm aware of that forum. I'm suggesting that it be further divided.

It's been my dream to be a SEAL too, and it seems like that unless you are one-really lucky, or two- a complete NROTC/USNA varsity team captian academic wonder superman, going to the SEALS as an officer is just not realistic, though I hear Navy officers have a good shot if after they get some...

I don't really post here, but I have been using this website in order to look up information about private service academies. It would seem to me that the most popular two, VMI and Citadel, and maybe others like A&M or Norwich should have their own dedicated category on the message board. It...

I'll be going to VMI this fall, and during my overnight and a few other conversations I've heard stories about kids coming in full JROTC Uniforms, which I'd say is pretty dumb. Even dumber that that though, apparently one kid expected the rats to salute him. I've never seen anyone come to an...
