Informal counseling is an option if it is the mid's first offense and the accuser believes that mid shows true remorse for what they did. Many mids will try to stop someone from potentially committing an honor offense, but once someone does violate the honor concept, very few will actually...

This is true, but if a plebe is consistently not making time hacks because she can't get her hair up in a proper bun, she will likely feel a lot of pressure to go down and get it cut. The detailers this summer are going to be extremely hard on hair regs and will show no sympathy when longer hair...

Winter working blues were done away with a few years ago. For PE/working out it's a dry fit blue rim and blue mesh USNA shorts.

RLS Shuttle. There's a free shuttle (the Circulator) that goes from the city dock up to the Westin. The app shows you where the shuttle currently is. Pretty convenient if you want to go to a restaurant that's far up West Street like Metro or Miss Shirley's.

Hotels do not require a chit. The revised MIDREGS says a chit is needed for booking an Airbnb or VRBO. This was instituted because of an issue with using those for house parties. Weekends are now no longer bankable, meaning that in the fall semester plebes will only be able to take an overnight...

There is no wifi in Bancroft Hall (except for private wifi routers that only work in a company's wardroom). Your computer is connected to the internet through an Ethernet cable. The academic buildings have wifi but you are not able to connect your phone to it. You can access Facebook on your...

Current plebe here. GET THE UNLIMITED DATA PLAN. Everyone here uses their phone very frequently whether for keeping up with email, group texts with companymates, checking the news right before chow calls, or just social media. I used 13 GB of data last month and I don't even use my phone as much...

If we got a 4 or 5 on the AP calc BC would that override the placement tests on ABS? I did fine on the Calc 1 tests but did terrible on part one of Calc 2 because classes ended over a month ago and I didn't review at all.

I'm in the same boat. I have pretty much identical PRs to you. I might just end up doing the club marathon team, though. A plebe on my CVW told me that the XC team has a JV roster but those are still mostly guys who ran 4:30 in high school.

The yield rate is sitting at about 90% this year. The Dean of Admissions said they might not even get to the waitlist this year. That being said, stuff happens between now and I-day (ex. someone gets injured) and a spot could still open up.

promethium/self/LOA/Appt. January 12th, 2017/Plan to Accept/PA/Congressional Nomination

Thank you everyone! The appointment was recorded on my portal today!

I received an LOA to USNA in the fall and was also deemed medically qualified. I got a nomination from my congressman on 12/24. The nom appeared on my portal 12/30. The required actions section of my portal says "none," but my application status still says "Conditional Offer of Appointment LOA."...

I apologize for bumping an old thread, but I also just received a speeding ticket. I pleaded not guilty and am going to court. When I report it on the personal data record, do I have to indicate the speed I was accused of going and the speed limit or can I just say that I received a citation for...

Don't convert it. Admissions will know it's the new SAT when they receive your official scores from the College Board and convert as they see fit. There will be an issue if you put down converted scores on the preliminary app because the scores you claimed will not match the official score...

I have been doing some research and am pretty sure I have chronic eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) in my left ear. For a few years, my left ear has felt full and I constantly yawn, vasalva, etc. to try to get temporary relief. However, I've never had ear issues on planes. Is this a...
