    What sport to play at the Academy?

    Once you get to the academic year, I believe many of the martial arts related ECAs (extra curricular activities) carry an intramural exemption which means that you could do that as your sport. You'll have to pick something else during plebe summer for sports period, though. If you'd like...

    2/C Loan

    I recently came across this tool for running through scenarios with your 2/c loan. I thought others might find it useful. It tells you the damage if you spend your loan and then get kicked out. http://www.militaryfp.com/index.php?cID=152

    Class Validation

    If you're in the position, only validate enough classes to get ahead in your matrix by one semester. That's enough to do early grad school if you want it (without overloading) and you'll get the benefit of a slightly higher gpa if you are retaking classes. You WILL forget things during plebe...

    ACE loan and Initial Fee

    Thank you, sir. In addition, it is my understanding that scholarships can be applied to the ACE loan. Since it would otherwise be paid off with your midn salary, does this mean that you would see more money in your monthly paycheck?

    ACE loan and Initial Fee

    There is some conflicting information out there about this topic. Some say that there is a $2500-$3000 initial fee while others say that it is covered in the ACE loan. My question is that if it is covered in the loan, is the loan paid back through the mid's salary or by external money? Thanks...
