For my A-day, my father came to see me. We had the parade and right after we were dismissed to be with our family. My father brought packed lunches for myself and my roommates. We went back to my room and hung out there, talked and ate lunches. You’d be able to picnic either in your cadets room...

I believe they come out about a month before finals start, maybe a little bit earlier. End of October early November most likely.

If I recall correctly, once you finish your finals you can leave. Cadets will have to get their leave orders prior to departing, so your cadet will have to plan on getting those early if they want to leave earlier than the norm. Once finals schedules are out, you have the option of rescheduling...

I browsed this board two years ago when I began my application process. I’ve just finished up my doolie year, and would like to give back to the community by answering any questions about basic, doolie year, and life at the academy in general. I’m currently a 3 degree, ask any questions about my...

My doolie year last year, we were only allotted 3 weekend passes per month and 2 overnight passes per semester. After basic ended, recreational places like the bowling alley and Arnold hall were packed with doolies. Towards the end of first semester those activities died out and people started...

I'm also in Demons!

Thanks for the detailed response! It's reassuring to know that you were still involved in other activities, I'm also looking at IC sports and wasn't sure if you could balance that and school, but it looks like it's possible. I tend to get ahead of myself but it's nice to have some info on my...

Sorry for intruding in the conversation, but may I ask what your field of study within physics is? I'm interested in a technical major at the Academy and physics seems like a good fit, but I'd definitely want to go to grad school after my 4 years there. How was your school life? Did you have...

Couldn't have put it any better than that.

To provide a second opinion, when I went through the interview process, my ALO stated he that he preferred to meet somewhere where my parents were present. Despite this, the interview was solely between us two. I went through the entire apppication process alone, and don't regret not having my...

Thank you, I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. Edited for clarification.

In the Instructions to Appointees handbook, under the mailing section it says to address all mail to Basic Cadet ____. I would assume that this would last until A-Day, then at that point it would be addressed to C4C ____.

Hey thanks a ton for all the information. I'll take things one step at a time.

Thanks for the reply, this is really great information. To be more specific, I'm interested in boxing and majoring in biology to prepare for medical school, which requires extracurricular involvement and the likes. I guess I've got some thinking to do.

I had a quick question about the time commitment difference between IC and intramurals. From my understanding, there is time dedicated in afternoon for either activity - IC athletes practice from 1500-1800(?), but how much time do intramurals run for? I'm asking because I'm interested in working...

Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I have two questions. First, my account was recently set up and everything was good to go, but then out of nowhere I was locked out of my account and it was apparently forwarded to the fraud department, currently under review. Anybody ever had experience...

Figured I'd add my input/experience. Went to the appointee tour on the 19th, and on the first day I got in I drove to the USAA financial center closest to the Academy. Told them I'd like to open up an account, a representative took me back and we talked for a little bit, I told her I would be...

Thank you! I'll PM you right now.

Question for the current cadets. I'm interested in majoring in chemistry with the biochemistry track, but I was doing some research on the program and people have claimed the Academy removed the biochemistry program. Website still lists it, though. Can anybody confirm or deny? Thanks.

Thank you both!
