A bit has changed...don't read too much into that book/those movies. They're not very accurate anymore.

How is the relationship between males and females? Generally it’s good. There are always exceptions, but as far as sexual assault or harassment goes, from my experience, it is rare. Also, since SHARP (sexual harassment & assault response and prevention) is the Army’s #1 priority, and...

Yeah, MSE and run days sound right. They were also interval run days (go down to the track and sprint for 1 min, jog for 2) and some other weird thing that wasn't much of a work out and I think they counted as our off day because it was just warm up, do a few exercises, cool down; all...

They use forced distribution. So the grades for a platoon have to average out to around a 3.0 (+/- some). So if someone gets an A, some else is getting a C. Certain actions tend to make you look good at the cost of everyone else in your platoon. This is more about academic year than Beast though.

Not if it means screwing over your buddies.

That was a bit much.. I'd say yes to about 2 weeks worth of underwear, spandex, sports bras. A lot of hair ties if you're a female. About 10 ziplock bags will do, i did find them useful. Yeah a journal was good to have. Stamps, a list of addresses (envelopes were given). Multi-tool and bug...

You'll have what we call "class drops" here from time to time. If a project is due that is expected to take longer than the Dean-approved HW time (about 2 hours for a 3-credit class/lesson), then they'll give you a class hour to work on it. Or with tests that are not during the regularly...

^Yes. Do not screw over your squad mates trying to get a better grade. A) it probably wont work and B) beast is a good time to star forging friendships, don't worry too much about grades.

Yeah, wear like khaki's and a polo (not a suit but not jeans). Bring workout clothes, your escort will more than likely want to work out while you're here so you'll have to go to the gym anyway, might as well get a workout in. Bring some hw, but don't plan on getting too much done. Bring...

First off, sorry for the super slow responses, I locked myself out of my account then completely forgot. Stevewar2: What are your thoughts on getting a sponsor? As Casey said, you’ll have as many “sponsors” as you can find. It’s hit or miss if you get one who will contact you and reach...

Just thought I'd sign back on, I remember how helpful this was last year. So, any questions, feel free to ask.

Is it bad that I haven't gotten any blisters from the boots? I've worn them many times and they just feel comfortable. I mean, I know not getting blisters is good, but do I need to do more to break them in?

I think they issue you 12 boot socks, athletic socks, and dress socks. That should be enough but it says you may want extra. I plan on bringing sock liners, from what I've heard they are very helpful. They socks they issue you will be fine, but if you get regular boot socks with extra padding i...

Lonestar, the spandex run about $30 (http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-652731/pgid-652728&cp=usns_0328071544) And are normally worn during pt and rucks under shorts/acu's. So pretty much every day. So it's up to you how many you bring, 10 would be helpful but 5 will...

When you go out in the field the ziplock backs are helpful with packing your ruck. They said advil wasn't considered self-medication and none of theirs was confiscated. The bug spray is just for the field.

This is the list I've come up with so far. (with advice from many cadets) Underwear (lots, comfortable) Sports Bras (lots, comfortable) Spandex (lots) Hair ties, bobby pins, comb & headbands same color as hair Fan (small) Chapstick with sunscreen Gallon& Quart Ziplock bags- 40 each...

I'm going down tomorrow for my overnight. Planning on khaki's and a blue button up (casual, half-sleeved). Is that appropriate? Any last minute tips? Please and thank you! :smile:
