    Leaving USMA

    I appreciate what you're saying -- to give it more time. However, my decision has nothing to do with the struggles of being a plebe, and I truly hope that everyone giving me guidance understands this. It is solely based on the fact that my long-term career goals do not align with the Army or...

    Leaving USMA

    To everyone trying to convince me to stay or at least think about this for a longer time: my decision has already been made for personal reasons that I am not disclosing on a public forum. I really do appreciate all of your concern, but I know what is best for my future at this time.

    Leaving USMA

    To everyone who has responded: I appreciate your input, but my original question was about the terms of the discharge, not on my decision to leave. I have my own reasons for leaving that in no way relate to the struggles of being a plebe or USMA life in general.

    Leaving USMA

    I am currently a plebe at USMA leaving the academy for personal reasons. I am in good standing as a cadet and am leaving on my own accord, with no misconduct whatsoever. What kind of discharge will I receive from the Army? I read somewhere that it could be a General Discharge Under Honorable...

    Speeding Ticket after West Point Appointment

    Hi Everyone, I received my appointment to USMA in March of this year. Recently, I was pulled over and issued a ticket for speeding. I am not fully aware of the Academy's policy on issues like this -- do I need to report the driving citation to USMA and, if so, how would I go about doing that...

    Sprint Football

    How competitive is it to make the Sprint Football team at West Point? As an incoming plebe, I am interested in trying out; however, I have never played organized tackle football before. I played years of flag football (which is obviously a very different game), but I definitely have basic...

    Seeing a therapist - medical repercussions?

    I will certainly ask. On that note, however, I am almost positive I have not been diagnosed with any disorder nor will I be. I am simply seeking the therapist as an outlet for someone to talk to (more like a guidance counselor); I have only met with him once, and I do not plan on meeting with...

    Seeing a therapist - medical repercussions?

    Hi All, So I have recently been seeing a therapist every week to help me get over a rough break up I had with a girlfriend. It’s nothing long-term—I will probably only see the therapist for a total of a month or two. This is simply so I have a professional to talk to—in no way would I be...

    Eyesight Waiver for West Point

    Update: My medical status changed to “Remedial” about two weeks ago. No codes ever showed up on the DODMERB portal. Today, my status changed to “Qualified.” I am beyond relieved at this.

    Eyesight Waiver for West Point

    I completed the exams in the middle of December. My original post was made well before the exams were scheduled as I was just concerned for how they could potentially go.
