    Our DS just declined his USMA spot for another SA

    Nothing wrong with 2nd best! Go Army. And best of luck to yours...

    Low Quarter Socks

    I would put extra effort into socks: black socks for low quarters, white socks for PT and wool socks for boots. This just an opinion based on Pluck feedback.

    USMA 2021 Class Motto

    Sorry for being a wet blanket but shouldn't this be a cadet-led project? I know it's all in good fun but nonetheless I express my opinion.

    Information for all of us newbies! USMA Class of 2021

    In my observation and experience, if you are coming out of NY, NJ, CT, PA, OH...etc, prepping for WP and life at WP for cadets is different from those out of ND, WY, NM, ID...etc. Everything is just a bit more challenging from the remote lands due to many factors. Factor that in, I recommend.

    C/O 21 Packing List

    Enjoy the journey! Packing list will be your guide as has been stated here before my post. You could literally show up in your underwear with your footwear and probably do just fine. But the extra stuff might bring you comfort to know you have it. Your fun begins now! Finish strong whatever you...

    Limits on spine curvature? Scoliosis limitations?

    Good luck! Been through that. Less said the better. Just perform!

    Tattoo

    Tattoo memo on the portal is your guide. It's all clearly spelled out. Tattoos are such a part of life of your generation and at WP they are everywhere and the regs seem to have actually relaxed on them even this year. That being said, listen to what others have said before my post. Why risk it...

    Class of 2021 R-Day

    If you have not gotten the info yet: flight and hotel the night before are reimbursed but no guarantees the money will ever hit their account. It's a black hole from m experience. Plebes navigating WP treasurer info is not high on their priority list and I guess you submit and hope the money...

    USMA Acceptance Day 2021

    Every year is different but you probably will not be allowed out beyond walking priveleges. And man oh man I wouldn't be thinking about my cousin's wedding right now. I would be preparing for Beast and doing what it takes to be accepted into the Corps of Cadets. Just my two cents.

    Boots?

    You will get all the info you need. Purchase as early as possible. If you do by mail they never fit right. Supplies are limited. It can be a hassle. Start early in everything. Enjoy it.

    What are my chances at getting into west point?

    CFA

    On the Portal or somewhere on the Web or USMA site there is some science-based workout routines for CFA. If your DS/DD has the time, do the work outs. No matter how strong or weak, it's about improving and trajectory. Pullups are the hardest and bust people out. But the minimum on RDAY is three...
