I just received my platoon/company assignment in the mail. Apparently, the rumors that 2016 would be the first class to report without knowing its company assignments in advance were inaccurate.

How difficult is it to earn expert pistol and rifle proficiency during Plebe summer? While I was a drag last year, my host said "it's easy" but I feel like it has to be somewhat difficult or else everyone would achieve expert. I've been to the firing range a few times and can wield a 9mm and...

I visited a running shoe specialist in my area (Asheville, NC) who highly recommended the New Balance 993 for running. (The specialist also recommended a flashy blue/yellow/red shoe, which I had to politely decline.) The 993s are a bit pricy at $140, but I have never felt better after...

I had the exact same surgery at age 5. I listed it on my medical forms in the "surgery" section and had no problems.

I agree; it will be interesting to see how things play out. I know of a handful of other athletes that have already qualified for various team trials who will be reporting late, too. In fact, one mid reported for I-Day and flew to compete immediately after the oath of office. They make some...

US Olympic Swimming Trials run through the 28th. I'm being recruited for swimming so the coaches asked for permission to allow me to compete and report late.

Be wary Just be mindful of the fact that with USNA, you already possess a waiver, therefore if any difficulties arise in the eye test on I-Day, you have your waiver to show for it. USMA doesn't prevent admission due to color blindness, but you never know what they'll say when you fail the...

I have already been approved to report late for I-Day 2012. (I will be reporting June 29th mid-afternoon...40 hours late.) What should I expect on arrival? For example, will I still go through the stations to receive uniform/shoes/haircut? Room assignment? Medical exams? I'm sure I will get...

Greetings! This year, I am a high school senior and am very interested in USNA and USAFA. For a little over a year, I have been speaking with the swimming coaches at both schools, who have told me that they have "blue-chipped" me as an athlete (guaranteed admission if qualified in all other...
