    Flu on R-day

    Advise cadre or MALO or someone. R day will be difficult enough without the flu and it's not worth the risk of others getting sick too

    Beast Recommended Items

    I haven't seen anthing about folding, but I have read multiple times that it can't be more than 4 inches long. Based on that, I would think fixed blade might be ok, but I don't know for sure

    Sit Up Position -- APFT

    Just wondering what the sit up position is for the APFT. It was arms crossed over chest for CFA but I thought I might have read somewhere that it is hands laced behind head for the APFT and I was hoping someone could confirm/deny that for me. Thanks!

    question on how to choose S.A. & NOM

    Just as a frame of reference, I got an LOA to USMA and my ACT was 32M 33E 32R and 27S. I don't think my district is super competitive for USMA though...anyway my point is you just never know what might happen, so go with the SA that you truly like the best

    Cadet Laundry?

    How is Cadet laundry handled at West Point? Or, specifically, if you have personal items (e.g. your own boot socks), how do you get them back from the laundry? Label them? Sorry if this seems to be a silly question, I was just thinking and I got curious...

    Chain of Command

    Where can I find the Chain of Command for Beast Barracks? I thought it would be a good thing to at least look over before going to CBT. I know it's probably on the forum somewhere but i haven't been able to find it...

    Plane-ticket for R-day Question

    I checked the government issued ticket option as well and I received an email with a ticket attached a few weeks later. It might take a while for them to get back to you, however, because it says in the instruction book that they will not be processing new cadets travel plans between about may 7...

    Preparation for Cadet Basic Training

    I've read and heard that cadets who repeatedly fail the Army PFT are put on remedial training, and if they continue to fail the tests they are separated. I think that is more for the academic year though...I don't how accurate my info is though, and I don't know what happens if you don't do well...

    Unable to get Low Quarters

    I contacted my local Army post and they were unable to get non shiny low quarters for me, so I need to get them online somewhere. I haven't had much luck finding them thus far. Are these ones acceptable...

    Chapel during Beast Barracks?

    Are there any opportunities to go spend time in the chapel during Beast aside from on Sundays? I read a candidate book about USAFA awhile ago that said cadets could visit chapel every evening during BCT, so I wondered if USMA might be the same or not.

    Color Blindness -- Careers in Navy?

    Update I actually just received a letter a few days ago, but it came well over two weeks after my waiver was granted. It stipulated that my career options in the navy would be "extremely limited" (limited to restricted line officer) and also that, unless I graduate high in the class where I...

    Color Blindness -- Careers in Navy?

    I am still not entirely sure what I will do. I am leaning toward West Point because I am much more familiar with it and because it seems to me that I would have more career opportunities (and fewer obstacles) there. Is that assumption correct though, would I really have more opportunities at...

    A Day In the Life of a West Point Cadet

    From what I've learned about plebe year, somehow that video doesn't quite seem to do it justice...Just my opinion though, I am only a candidate

    Color Blindness -- Careers in Navy?

    I am colorblind (red-green deficient), but my waiver was approved for USNA. What jobs does color blindness restrict you from in the navy? Would I only be able be a restricted line officer? I have been accepted at West Point as well, and even though I am fully medically qualified, would I be...

    West Point Acceptance Letter Question?

    A few months ago I received a LOA from West Point. Just recently I received a nomination, and today I got my official acceptance letter in the mail! A small postcard came with the letter. The postcard concerns accepting my appt to West Point, but there is no deadline for sending it in and no...

    Red-Green color blindess?

    I got DQ'ed by dodmerb from USNA and Naval ROTC for "Red/Green Color Vision Deficiency" so it is a disqualifying condition. I just hope I can get a waiver...

    AFROTC Physical Fitness Assessment?

    The test consists of push ups (1 min), sit ups (1 min), and a 1.5 mile run. What are the rest intervals between events? It doesn't say on the form that is on the AFROTC application website, and I can't find them anywhere else either. Does anyone here happen to know?
