While I was looking into USMA, a cadet came into school one day and spoke to my class about his experience there and how to apply. He told me that he was a part of a recruiting company (or something of the sort, I don't exactly remember) and that he earned extra leave by going and talking to...

My main goal while at USMA is to complete Airborne school. Ultimately, I would like to be an Airborne officer in the Army, and completing the training while at USMA would just make it easier for me. I would also like to attend Air Assault school, but I know going to both while being a cadet is...

Going to West Point means I will have to give up hurling, which is a very competitive Irish sport I've been playing for the last year or so. This is very bittersweet for me because New York has one of the largest hurling leagues in the country, and I do not want to give it up if I can help it...

Are they worth it? I have only visited WP once, and I just went on a tour over the summer so I did not get to talk to any cadets or look at the barracks or anything. If I wanna go, I'll have to pay my own way there and back, which IMHO doesn't seem too worth it since it's hard for a minimum...

Just got a call from my congressman! I just got appointed into the C/O 2018!!! Thanks for all the help y'all, I would be pretty much clueless without y'all's support. GO ARMY!!

If I have a principal nomination for a Senator, is there a chance that I could just be appointed to a prep school? If so, would a 3Q change that? Thanks in advance!

Tim Scott (SC-62) just called me with great news! He told me that I have received a primary nomination from him to USMA! I am so excited now! He also said that "he should be hearing great things about me soon", but I think I'm just reading into that too much. Awesome news though! I hope I get an...

This week, I found out I got nominations to USMA from both of my senators! That means I have 4 nominations: JROTC and my 3 MOCs. When my application is reviewed, will USMA look at my application when they appoint for all four slots, or will I be told how I got nominated after I receive an...

So last week I finally finished my application. It took a while due to sorting out family issues during the year and delaying my CFA. I currently have two nominations (ROTC and Competitive Alternative Congressional) but have yet to hear back from either Senators. I also have received a 4-year...
