    Computer Preference Form

    I personally did not get it, all the companies already have a printer and the monitor they give you isn’t that nice. But to each their own

    More sock questions...

    What worked for me was some black Reebok socks with only a logo on the bottom of the foot. I wear them with every uniform because they have the solid material that looks like your typical dress sock, but are padded and moisture wicking, so they work for running and boot socks too. Also, it makes...

    AIAD,MIAD, PIAD

    PIAD's are typically what Corps Squad athletes do to satisfy the IAD graduation requirement. Think fo just practicing a sport all day. There are some other ones available to non-ODIA athletes, but they are kinda rare.

    Water Polo

    Am current cadet. A couple of guys in my company are on the team. They practice every weekday (except some Fridays) and have a few tournaments/matches per season. The tryout is pretty competitive and physically grueling (back to back rpft's kind of hard). They both seem to really enjoy it.

    WCS

    Candidates do not, but cadets get to see it and a percentage that correlates to the (assumed) maximum score possible.

    Low Quarter Shoe Advice

    Because I couldn’t get half sizes I had the same problem and opted for the larger pair. I found some of those heel pads for dress shoes and then put a moleskin over it. Helps prevent most slipping and the moleskin is a lot better than the grippy texture on the pad, which caused blisters

    Dress socks

    I really like the black Reebok crew socks I ordered on Amazon. $20 for a 6 pack, and the only logos they have are on the bottom of the foot, which is fine.

    Appointment Ceremony ?

    My FFR offered and asked for the dates and contact info for my counselor, but I eventually decided to just not have a ceremony or any of that at the Awards assembly for my school.

    Current Plebe, AMA!

    I think they implied that they are at the Military Academy, but at one point in time they were wanting to go Navy.

    3rd Varsity Sport

    I lettered in football my freshman year before my school cut the team, I then joined JV soccer the following year followed by 2 years of varsity. I joined track my junior year and did reasonably well. Moral of the story: joining sports later in high school don't reflect negatively on you...

    Opening a USAA Account before arriving

    Hello! I am going to be joining the Class of 2023, and I am going through all the paperwork I have to complete. I am looking to open an account with USAA for my direct deposit to go into, but I don't know how to verify my (future) military connection. I have no family military history, but I...

    Boy's State

    From my personal experience as someone who went last year and won a state office election: posters are fine, but a lot of people after the county level won't see them or will ignore them. The biggest thing that helped people win the larger elections where they didn't know all the voters was...

    validating courses

    Since the new website, it has been harder to find information regarding core classes, and on the resource I found it said that biology was one of the science courses. Does anyone know if this is able to be validated?

    How do you choose?

    This is one of the reasons I posted this here. I have been able to visit both twice, this summer when I was in the area and then again this winter. I did an overnight at USNA and just a day visit at USMA because the only day that would’ve worked for me was full for overnights. I liked different...
