Do cadets need to pack the Washington's Crossing book for R-Day? It's not on the packing list, but the Book Memo in the portal says to "bring it with you when you report to West Point". It's heavy book so I'm hoping it can just be brought on A-Day.

My DS is taking the AP Calc exam this spring, and assuming he does well enough to validate that course, should he? Or would it make more sense for him to just re-take the CALC at USAFA to reinforce those foundational skills and maybe earn an "easy A" to boost his GPA, rather than jumping into a...
