You should be fine. Don't worry about it at all. I had very little calculus experience going into the academy and still managed to pull off A's in Calc 1 and Calc 2. However, don't expect to go in there thinking you know it all and slack off in class. Pay attention, take notes, and study the...

Its not a big deal...i'd say close to about a quarter of kids in the 3 sections that had meteo failed the final (got below a 70, must get at least a 70 to be stcw qualified). Your DS passed the class which is the most important thing at the moment. All your DS needs to do is go and talk to the...

Its pretty tough with this professor when he can't remember one single name in the section that he is teaching.

The physics tutor is a overall awesome guy. He knows what he is doing and has really helped me out. However, its really tough right now because of the split of people taking physics 2 and physics 1. He is the only professional physics tutor so he tries to break it up evenly. The professional...

Because they are ********. We have a practice PKT every Wed. night. Its the same test on Sunday. Just one or two questions are different. Even if you miss those you should still pass.

yeah the majority of people in pep are because they didnt run the 1.5 mile under the minimum time.

Ironman is a perfect 300 score. To do this you must be able to max out in the three areas tested. The maxes are as followed: 92 pushups 109 situps and a 8:15 mile and a half. However, to recieve the service ribbon for the PFT you must score a 285 or higher. I barely got by with a 285. I maxed...

Yes, PEP is for a trimester. I believe you have to get up at 4 30 and just do some kind of physical activity, most likely running. The P/C's that dont really have a varsity sport, have to find time to get outside the barracks and exercise. Whether that is run on the track, or going to the pool...

Ok to comment on the last few posts. The food is not bad here. Honestly, if you think the food is bad here, then you should come to my high school because it was tons worse. There are several options every meal. Yes, the food is not high quality, top of the line brands, but its still decently...

I have gone to every Catholic Sunday mass since I showed up here during Indoc. It is incredible to see how many parents and children attend mass and see their P/C sons and daughters. However, going on the campus and showing around is crossing the line. Its ok to talk to them after mass for a...

Judging by the Indoc photos, it looks like everyone is issued one.

Yeah, you should be fine. My school went by unweighted GPA and I was accepted into MMA.

Whoops ^^^ I got the same exact shorts. I couldn't remember the exact store name...for some unlimited came to my head:shake:. but yeah i got mine from Sports Authority.

Yes, there are other physics teachers. Some I've heard, easier graders and seem to be more laid back. For example, there are two calc teachers, I won't mention names but, one will let you sleep in class and tends to grade easily while, the other will try to push the pace and seems to grade much...

Yeah, i'm a bit nervous about the rigorous academics that are going to be shoved down our throats. That statistic seems about right if what my host was telling was correct. He told me that the russian physics teacher failed 65% of his class first tri this year. Thats just how it goes. Its a...

Sports Unlimited I went to Dicks and their wasn't a good selection. I went to Sports Unlimited and found some Russell navy-blue PT shorts. It had a very little Russell logo at the bottom but, it will be tough to find some without a logo.

I don't have all the answers here because I will be reporting for Indoc just like you in 3 short weeks. The attire is in your logging in packet. Wear a nice short sleeved collared shirt and casual khakis pants or something to that extent. The only other possessions I will be bringing besides the...

we'll be at the annchor inn as well. however, we are coming in july 6th so we can spend some time in the city and attend the swim team get together.

I just talked to a plebe at the academy and they said that they are getting a sufficient amount of food. All that has happened is they have cut back on desserts at lunch and a little on seconds and thats it. He said people just like to complain alot.
