Its kinda weird, but I've found that if you spend your day trying not to get hurt, then you will. Most of us have gone 17+ years without serious injury, just keep doing what you are doing and think about your actions.

I thought this might be a good place to pick up a few good ideas on what you guys and girls are doing to get ready for beast...thanks

I had the same question, I called West Point, and they told me that this year new cadets should not come with boots. The person I talked to told me only to go buy low quarters

All CFA/fitness results will come with practice and hard work NOT chemicals and supplements, many kids on my sports teams have used that stuff and got results, but I have never used any of that stuff and by working harder then them I am bigger, stronger, and faster than all of them. Personally I...

"Regarding CFA / physical preparation... I have an unfortunate conflict of interests between CFA training and football training: I'm almost 6'3" and i weigh 200 lbs (already up 15 pounds from 4 months ago) and am trying to gain another 15 pounds or so by the end of the summer in order to start...

when I went for my overnight tour I had the ranking system explained to me. You guys are all correct, but those ranks only hold while a cadet is on post. For example if you are a cadet sargent and you have a friend in the regular army who is a private and you see him say at home away from west...

One important thing to look at when looking at ROTC schools is their commisioning rate. Last summer I looking at VMI and Virginia Tech. Both schools are VERY diffrent from one another and both are very good schools. What did it for me was that last year VMI only had 17-35% of their graduating...

good, maybe when he said this is the last time you will see the firsties wearing grey he was actually reffering to those particular senior who will commison on never wear cadet grey again

I may not have understood him correctly, but on my last tour up at USMA my cadet tour guide said the starting with the class of 2013 the classic grey parade uniforms will be black (so much for long grey line?). I hope this is not true, but if the pull it off right it could look pretty slick

Mine was working great when I got it, but then yesturday at the end of the day (when I went running at three diffrent times) I checked to make sure it was "calibrated" so I walk 100 steps, look at the thing, and it only recorded 23... I am glad the fitness tracker has no effect on our standing...

Are you in Jrotc?...well it seems you know what you are doing

Is anyone using the new Pedometers and website, if so what are you doing physically on average per day... thanks

Passing the CFA is fairly easy, what is hard is getting a score that is competitive against other candidates. I don't remember the exact numbers, but for men it was like and 8:30 mile, 40 push-ups, 40 situps, 1 pull ups, {these numbers were given to me by a third party which means it could all...

the stuff West Point gave us works fairly well, it is more important to focus on technique than number of reps (at West Point and in the Army a sit-up will not be counted unless it is performed corrrectly) doing 500 sit ups a day is great if your technique is really good, but if it is not then...

Try not to play the how do I compare game, I did like so many other people on this site ... and it will drive you crazy, you have a pretty good resume. just keep trying to make it better in every respect. Like the admissions people told me last year "I can't guarantee that you'll get in, but I...

I agree, but the Army has more boats than the Navy (much smaller of Course), and more "air craft" than the Air Force...just to let you know

Connecticut...Military Arts and Sciences or History

you should go to West Point so that you can be in the Army, Not join the Army so that you can go to West Point

Is there just one parents club (spaning the entire country), or are there several Non conected clubs (if so is there one that is better than another? thanks

I was polite, I come from a non military type town and as a result I have had to explain to a lot of people what West Point is. I have no problem with it, but I just thought that it was a bit funny.
