There were a few posts about this not too long ago. As far as I know, tryouts are after a semester so you have some grades to show you can handle schoolwork, and then there are physical tests and interviews. I'm curious if glasses/contacts are a DQ.

Rumor has it that the APFT is going to be changed to involve stuff like that. The GAFP Badge measures things like that as well which is pretty cool. I think I will be taking a few of the events for that soon.

I'll PM you. Edit: for some reason I can't...

Honestly, I don't think it is even because people are out of shape, rather they just aren't used to the APFT. I didn't do well at all my first APFT in ROTC , then my second one I was like 4 situps short of a 300, because I knew what I had to do. It's all about and speed and technique really...

BFE just arrived as well!

haha still through the roof.

Just got the call from my MOC earlier as well! It's funny because a few hours ago I got a fortune cookie in the dining hall and it read "Good news will come to you by mail." And then 30 minutes later I had a voice-mail. I called back and it was my MOC congratulating me. I hope everyone else...

We have been waiting to wait!:eek2:

Army standard with the PT uniform is black or grey compression shorts. I doubt small logos would be a problem. Besides that I don't know the specifics at West Point.

In the video he gets one hand (touching the floor) and foot across the line simultaneously and turns around. When I did it I may have just touched the line with my hand. Either way, just be clear with your grader what you guys are doing so there is no confusion. The last thing you want is to...

The person you filled out as your "grader" should have gotten this video: the shuttle run is at 4:50 and as you can see only his foot and hand have to pass the line, not his whole body. I found the "turnaround" the hardest part, so my advice would be to not sprint so hard you take forever to...

I too am curious! But I am sure we WILL see it when it pops up haha don't want to ruin the surprise!

I am just waiting to hear back like most people, and was curious if re-applicants generally hear back later than the rest of applicants. Or are we in the same "pool" (assuming we finished our file as soon as transcripts were available)? I'm fairly confident with my performance in college and am...

I was in a similar mindset last year, I enlisted with an infantry contract opt 40 because I thought West Point was the only way I'd be an officer, otherwise I'd rather enlist. However, I was fairly wrong. I was QNS'd, and as I got ready to ship off, I received a ROTC scholarship for being...

Got it, thanks everyone.

For re-applicants, I know two new SOEs are required. But if I wanted, could I get three? Would that help at all, or would it just be redundant? I already asked two of my teachers, and I'm positive they both said really good things; however, one of my professors I know would speak extremely high...

Just a few quick questions regarding the processes of reapplying. 1. Can my SOE be my PMS and English teacher? Or since I already have an English teacher on file should I do my Spanish or Calculus teacher? 2. If I have been participating in the Ranger Challenge team as a freshman but end...

:eek: Whoops. If test scores haven't been sent in yet or aren't up to their standard, then they usually don't open it right away. But if you've sent them in and they're good scores--I am not sure.

Send your technician an e-mail requesting for it to be opened, that should take care of it.
