That brought back some memoirs, vista. DS would call with a short briefing on what was going on that day. Funny that is how most of his calls go now almost three years later. A good book for mom's that do not have prior miliatary experience is 1000 and one reasons I love miliatary life, it...

DS, class of 2015, is calling himself a pluke, no longer a plebe but not quite a yuk:smile:

You will need to do push ups, and a lot of them. Pull ups and a lot of them. As stated, run, then run some more. DS told me the hardest thing about beast wasn't the physical part, but the daily grind, its every day all day. So prepare mentally.

Not a Firstee parent, but DS is a plebe and was pumped to get to pin a Fristee from his company, costs him a COR in his file but he said its was worth it.

DS has a high frequency hearing lossand and uses hearing aides, he wants to serve as a nurse in the military, hearing is 100% corrected by his hearing aides. He will be doing ROTC in the spring, what will it require for him to obtain a waiver to be commissioned as an officer

A LOA means West Point wants you. If you are fortunate enough to get a LOA and apply to all sources for a nom, West Point works with the noms to insure you get one. If memoirs serves me correctly, we were told only one potential canidate who received a LOA did not get a nom over the last few...

Congradulations to all you cow moms and dads. Being a plebe dad and just getting back from A day I can only imagine how proud you are. I can say your kids are making my kid a better person and cadet.

Welcome back to the world Mtman, dude you got a dell

What does ex-cadets mean, can you leave corps and come back? How likely is that to occur?

ok scout pilot, I have to say your class motto was pretty good

I am not sure what you mean by your comment Bill. I think the motto refers to the doing what is necessary for the those you lead, not I am the leader see me roar.

Class of 2015 motto - For Those We Lead -2015, I like it.

Scout Pilot thats funny, Jonafox my advise to you is simple, don't be that guy. That means keep your head, don't be over the top. Yes beast is hard, but its hard because of the daily grind, loss of individuality, and it is physically difficult. But with the right frame of mind and...
