If you can’t come up with the 2000, the treasurer will just take a bit out of your pay each month. Look for scholarships offered by places like the American Legion and AmVets. School Guidance counselor should have a list of local scholarships. As long as the scholarship does not mandate that it...
To finally answer your question, yes. There are a few opportunities for a female cadet to wear a formal civilian dress for a functions at West Point. My DD attended a Tea her plebe year that was in civvies. 100th night is a semi formal affair, also in civvies. Along the way there may also be...
So, you are basically calling me a liar? Why would I do that? The point is that it is perfectly fine if female cadets wish to use the term, we should just not use the label ourselves as it can be seen as demeaning. And by the way, my daughter happens to be a female cadet. No need to apologize....

From a Mom's point of view (since I get to pay the data overage charges on the cell phone) I would say go with the internet option WP is offering. My current cadet agrees that it is a better connection and the 10-15 dollar charge per month is worth it since the other internet access is spotty...
