I'm not sure who "they" is who have allegedly already won, but there is a lot to be said for a woman who can keep up AND EVEN BEAT male counterparts. Also, your DD appears to be a recruited athlete, so it's pretty misleading to say the academy doesn't care about her mile time. By no means am...

I'm certainly not trying to seem like a jerk, but your post seems 99.9% similar to the person who has been banned from this forum 3 times. At risk of repeating what others have said ad naseum, you need to improve your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Your GPA is less than average, so you...

Two days from now? Just giving you a hard time. lol -AIR CAV

I appreciate your determination and dedication to becoming an Army Officer, however, your multiple threads have me a bit confused. All you need to do is apply and see what happens. I'm glad that you clearly have plans a-e, and you need to be willing to accept any of them. Best of luck, I wish...

Call admissions and ask to change?

Do your best and try not to stress over the test. Three days before the ACT is a little late in the game for tips/tricks/hints. Best of luck -AIR CAV

Enjoy your last week prior to the Academy. As long as you are in "decent" shape, you'll have no issue with any physical requirements of Beast. For the record, I'm not advocating you not working prior to this summer, but you'll be in great shape if you can pass the APFT before you arrive...

Granted my experience is dated by 10 years, but when I applied/attended SLE the summer of 2006, GPA/ACT/class rank were required. I agree SLE was a recruiting tool to obtain potential candidate's contact info, however, I received an LOA in September based upon my SLE stats. I realize that...

I whole heartedly agree. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being prepared for your 47 month journey. After you commission as an Officer, you'll be expected to succeed. Nobody I have meet in my Army career has looked negatively on others for being prepared for success. -Air Cav

I can't speak on CFA specifics, however, the APFT 2 mile minimum passing time for a 17-21 year old male is 15:54. Even if your time is passing the CFA, you have work to do in order to be successful at the Academy. -Air Cav

I went the first week during Beast, but realized weeks 2-6 that if I didn't go to Sunday Service, it was much loved "down time" during CBT. It's all up to you, do what makes you feel best spiritually, emotionally, and physically. -AIR CAV

Noms are all based on Congressional districts so in theory, you're competing against the same number of people regardless of where you live. Also, 200/class really isn't that small. I attended a HS with 100 and we average 2x SA's every year. It would be really beneficial to ask around and find...

Don't waste your time worrying about military movement. Some of the most unathletic people I met were successful in the course. My advice is to try your hardest when you get to the course and you won't have any issues. Don't be afraid to take advantage of AI if you need it. -Air Cav
