By any chance did you attend Peddie?

I know 5 years active duty and 4 years reserves are required after graduation. But say I serve 9 years active duty, would I still be required to serve the 4 years reserves? This may be a dumb question but I just want to be sure. Thanks.

Not sure how many of you have twitter but if you do, scroll down to the beginning of @CodyFNfootball 's tweets from yesterday. He was apparently a roommate of Bowe and served with him in Afghanistan. He posted the whole story through tweets so there's a lot to scroll through, but it's extremely...

Well they asked me for 3 evaluations, from a physics teacher, from an English teacher, and a math teacher. I know they definitely looked at those. But they didn't specifically ask for letters from anyone, I just uploaded every letter that I got and I didn't have any issues.

Yes there is. There are about 5 options for documents to upload and one of them is letters of recommendation. It's easier and more convenient than mailing them in.

Thank you all. Yeah, I'm really leaning towards a career in cyber security, hopefully branching Military Intelligence and then possibly a career with a defense contractor or try for CIA, FBI, NSA, etc. once I decide to retire from the Army. After looking at the RedBook, I did realize that West...

Your stats overall are better than mine and I got accepted into the class of 2018 so you're in good shape. Bring the writing score up and run for senior class president. Make sure you find a good amount of people to write you letters of recommendation. I think I submitted about 11 or 12 letters...

You received an LOE and still haven't heard back?

My acceptance letter reads "you should accept or decline your appointment no later than April 15, 2014"

100% accurate, I cannot even begin to count the number of people who gave me tips when I said I was attending USMA. Obviously they meant well, so I welcomed the advice/tips, even if I knew it was incorrect

I hear USAA is highly recommended also. There's a branch office at the entrance gate of West Point. My uncle is a retired colonel and uses USAA and speaks very highly of them

Those are the two majors I'm leaning towards currently to choose when I'm a sophomore. They both have aspects I like, which is why I'd prefer computer engineering but it's not offered. So my question is, does anyone know which major is harder at USMA? I've heard that it really varies on the...

I've read that the new barracks are set to be completed in 2017

No

Read somewhere on the USMA website that it's alright to list activities you know you'll be participating in, I did and I was fine.

My FFR told me he normally does presentations for those who get in...so I gave my guidance counselor his contact information so she could talk to him about speaking at my graduation

Wow, congrats to your son. Seems like you have a very intelligent son, be proud of him because many would love to be in his shoes. MIT and USNA, tough decision but both great schools. Let us know what he eventually decides.

Yes I know that, just got accepted to USMA last month. At an admissions briefing I attended they strongly recommended taking both chemistry and physics.

Take chemistry and physics if possible, the academy likes chemistry and physics
