    LTC Heffington's Open Letter

    LTC Heffington's words are true. It is an unfortunate situation which most if not all of the faculty at USMA are aware and/or deal with daily. I have received the superintendent's response. I cannot comment on that. However, I would say I wish I had such courage to speak up as LTC Heffington did.

    ROTC vs USMA

    Choose USMA If you want to be a career officer. The West Point pedigree really matters.

    Amazing Week

    Oh no! I don't want to see you leave! Your comments always delights me! I wish we get to meet in person one day. I agree with you: however impressive the young man and woman's accomplishments were, they are still college kids. They are not invincible. I think taking pride in the institution can...

    Beast Laundry Problems at USMA

    I can see why you are able to build a strong bond with your sponsor family. You are appreciative and curtious. Good luck with your time in the army. It's always a pleasure to see a great officer/old grad.

    Beast Laundry Problems at USMA

    I was going to ask you if you ever did laundry at your sponsor's house? I have two incoming this Fall. What did you expect out of your sponsors? This sounds like an odd question. But I find the plebes I picked up throughout the academic year usually worked out better than the ones I got assigned...

    Beast Laundry Problems at USMA

    Just use the laundry service in town. It is a bit pricey but they do deliver better results. If there is a problem that money can solve then that isn't a problem, right?

    New cadet visitation day

    This might be a bit late but here it goes: The new cadets must remain in their uniform the whole time; no visit to the restaurants or malls is permitted; no photo sharing until Acceptance Day.

    New cadet visitation day

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. She will be stressed out because that is the whole point of Beast. However, Beast is only the introduction to the army. She will improve overtime.

    March back 8/14/2017

    Last year was my first year there and I saw the plebes cheered and supported each other during the last leg of the march. It made my eyes watered just a bit. I wore sunglasses to the sandhurst this year so nobody would notice what an emotional person I can be.
