to be fair, all that have posted that it is a leadership challenge for the cadre are correct. that is the commander's intent. Challenge us to find new ways. And that's what I'm tryingtodo. The intent was clearly to use more creative and/or inspirational means than simple PT to correct issues. I...

As current Beast Cadre (all the new cadets are at a brief so I have a moment...), I'm physically ill watching morning PT. There are NCs that can't make it 600 meters at an 8 minute pace. They just give up. A new cadet cried and went to the hospital for a panic attack because her squad leader...

Debcst is spot on. To clarify, only black/gray compression shOrts with no logo visible (if it's on the waistband that's fine, just nothing that could show if the PT shorts slide up and the compression shorts show).

Probably not. It's too short of a detail and most of it is in the woods.

I am beast cadre. Your physical standing is definitely good for beast. Keep it up. If you can run ~4 miles comfortably, you'll be fine. You'll be sorted by your times, just be able to complete it at a set pace without a major slowdown. Cardio... Expect things like buddy carries, stairs, wall...

It really does vary with your involvement in clubs/sports, but I promise you'll be shocked by how much free time you will have. Plebe duties amount to like an hour a week nowadays. If you were an A student at a legitimate high school, plebe classes will be easy enough to give you more free...

to those concerned with laundry duties- Honestly, as much as I respect your interest, RELAX. I promise you will regret wasting your last couple months of freedom worrying about laundry duties and not enjoying yourself. I was in an extremely tough company last year in terms of laundry...

Sorry if I sound like a typical cynical yuk, but it truly makes me sick to my stomach when I read: "Are there civvy college classes in leadership? Sure. Exercises they can do? Sure. Do they do them every week? From day 1? Eat, sleep, and breath them? No. Get smoked if its not done well? Naah"...

I'm a yuk. I think about that article a lot. That article should give you pause, and that's about it. You can tell that his intent is to sell books... ("My Succeeding book has a chapter that warns readers not to fall into “The Tenure Trap.” It’s called “Tenure and other deals ‘too good to...

2014 cadet here... I'd say half of the days follow a schedule with 0500 wakeup. physical training 0515-630ish. Breakfast around 0700. Fill in the day with training, uniform issue, briefings, etc. Lunch at noon. Afternoon is much like the morning. Mass athletics/Corps Squad practice at 1600...

from a plebe, scoutpilot is 100% right. Trust me, you get a WHOLE year to countdown the days... don't start senior year. This is going to give the wrong impression of how I feel about this place, but.... Imagine yourself knowing that you're going to jail starting in late June. Now, how...

hey, as a cadet, the best way is to take the train north, get off at Garrison (directly across the river) and then hop on the ferry. However, I don't know if non-cadets are allowed on the ferry. Moreover, the ferry stops running Oct. 31 this year. You could probably take a cab from garrison...

All of the above are great. In addition, Give an example of when you were in a leadership position and whatever you were in charge of succeeded. Give an example of when you were in a leadership position and whatever you were in charge of failed. Do you bomb a whole village for just...

As a 2014 kid leaving in days, your file looks very solid. As others have said, take the ACT again and again. For the academies, taking it 1000 times has nothing but advantages. Some schools may look at all your attempts individually, but USXA looks at superscores. Also, try the SAT out...

Sorry, i didn't mean it in a deviant way. I'm not looking to break rules over an xbox... I was just asking if there was a solid, AUTHORIZED solution to it. maybe a differnt Wi-Fi provider other than the super important DoD network? or maybe theres a path to get it authorized, however unlikely.

and beyond plebe year... any hopes of xbox live? (ie using the network)

I know that 6 is not failing for pull-ups. It's not a good score, but it's not failing. Source: SLS last year, a friend did less than 6 and did not get "at risk" (which is USMA speak for fail) Also, YES, if you fail one part of the CFA the whole CFA is a failure. However, none of your...

Realistically, at the airport, it does not matter. The officer there does not have an admissions form to fill out on how each of you are dressed off of the plane. Last year, people were wearing jeans and a t-shirt, to shirts and ties. Khakis and a polo is solid. For the mixer, I'm more...
