Thanks! I was pretty sure I could only wear the ribbons, but I thought I'd ask the experts on here ;)

I recently attended a West Point Parents Club meeting with my parents and one of the parents (USMA grad) told me that since I was prior service I should wear any awards or items that I currently wear on my Dress Blues (ASU). I currently have an Expert Marksmanship Badge, Army Achievement Medal...

Equipment If we are going to try out for our sport during beat, what about equipment needed for the sport? I'm going to assume the academy doesn't want kids showing up on R-day with golf clubs, soccer cleats, track spikes, etc. Do they give us proper equipment/clothing for tryouts?

The blue admissions correspondence box doesn't reflect any status on whether you are in or not. I'm not sure who does and doesn't have the box but mine is blank and I already have an appointment. My guess would be that it is for communication later on in the process as we get closer to rday

It is unlikely it will show up on your portal before the BFE arrives. When I got my notification of appointment (phone call) it took a week for the BFE to arrive at my house. The offer of appointment only showed up on my portal hours before the BFE showed up at my house. They may have something...

In my opinion, any emotional immaturity you may feel you'll have going into USMA will be taken care of while at Cadet Basic Training. As a recent graduate of Basic Training on the enlisted side, I can tell you that you become very mature and focused in a small amount of time. Everything they...

wasn't deploying until 2014

I got an unexpected phone call from my Congressional office congratulating me on my offer of appointment. They said they wanted to be the first to let me know. I get my BFE in the mail later this week. Im not exactly sure which nomination I got in for I'm assuming it was congressional because...

Haven't seen one up yet for this year so I guess I'll start it! Just got the call today! What a start to a new year! 1. CadetMoore, Congressional, IL-19, 07 Jan. 2013

I recently was awarded an Army Achievement Medal when I graduated Infantry OSUT and I would like to put it in my Candidate Profile. How would I go about doing this?

Roger that. Everyone have patience. Just turn in the documents and see what happens.

But why would they need those documents if the application has already been reviewed and qualified by the admissions board? We must have some upperhand in the process even though it seems early.

It's good to hear that candidates other than military have gotten this "offer", We'll have to just wait and see he it plays out. Good Luck!

I contacted my FFR and he couldn't give me a straight answer, he just said my BFE is probably in the mail!

I have 3 nominations, PRES, IL19, and RSCOM. It doesn't have any offer of admission listed yet though. It can only mean good things to come, but I just wanted to know if it was an actual appointment or just a request for additional info because I'm a soldier or something.

I just opened my portal and found a new tab that says upload documents which includes birth certificate, parental consent, medical records, etc. Does this mean I got in?

That's definitely good news, that's what I assumed at first but the red x was a small indicator I hadn't completed my file. Thanks!

I am aware that a nomination is mandatory and I already have one, but my question is whether or not I need this endorsement for my application to be rendered complete.

I am a USMA reapplicant and I recently enlisted in the National Guard. My profile is complete but there is a red "X" that remains that says they have not received my commanders endorsement nomination. The box is a little more faded than everything else so I am not sure if it is mandatory or...

Thanks USNA2016DAD, everything you said was right on the money, I applaud your support and wish all other reapplicats luck in this years process. Thanks again!
