Hi, checking in as 4 years past one of the first female recon platoon leaders in the 82nd airborne. No negative experiences to report. But it's fun to look back on this thread, when I was posting as an idealistic cadet!

welp, here we are.

No, what happened is suddenly you realized how ridiculous the things you were saying sounded when repeated by someone else. "That about sums it up. I think most guys are more afraid of being falsely accused and hung out to dry than girls are of being sexually assaulted" "My son (Class of...

Just to hit all these replies at once-- scoutpilot, Equal intelligence? Congruent backgrounds? Respectfully, I hope that was a sarcastic post. It has nothing to do with being in a leadership laboratory, and if it does I apologize that I hold highly the moral courage not to discriminate between...

That is completely beside the topic at hand. What I was referring to was the comments people made on sexual assault that DOES, regardless of what people would like to think, happens at West Point. Yes, there are people falsely accused but men and children are sexually assaulted in society as...

Respectfully, there is a stark difference between not associating with peoe just ur to your friend group and not associating with people based off their sex, race, religious demographic.

Yikes. The few who expressed the "cadets, you must avoid female cadets to protect yourselves" rhetoric are for lack of better words disturbing, and everything that is wrong with the Army and SAs right now regarding SH and SA. How about you stick near your sisters in arms and treat them like...

the only problem with "dumping facebook" is then you don't know what pictures or whatever that other people could be posting about you. You might not have a facebook, but you're still on facebook...

advice for your future at the academy- keep that curious, ambitious, excited and hard-working feeling you have now about West Point throughout your entire experience there. Too many fall victim to cynicism and forget that they were once that kid in high school studying hard to get where they are...

I had the wave. Pretty spartan piece of equipment and it was convenient to have not only for practical use but for carving sticks when sitting in the field, waiting.

People also tend to forget that not only do you need to pass the IOCT as a cow for graduation requirement, but you have to pass it plebe year in order to pass Military Movement Class. Don't let anyone scare you, it's fun. :) Also-- I know a few plebes who got separated this year due to...

Just going to add in that it does sort of stink when all the info goes to one sect... one that not everyone has access to, even within their family. :redface: But anyways, I did not take IT either so this is a lost cause for me!

Is there a dad's facebook group...? :/

Thanks, but I can't seem to find that client on my computer!

Home for Christmas break. But I want to see my TEE grades... :confused:

Congrats! See you next year! ;)

You're going face a point in time on R Day when they tell you you have 30 seconds to transfer anything you think you'll need from your civilian bag to your green flight bag. My advice -- Only transfer NECESSITIES. You're going to be hauling that green bag on your back all day. More you put in...

when I applied, the form was very brief. Scores, class rank, extra currics then 200 word 'comment' space and that was roughly it. And if you're lacking a little in one place, make up for it in another. I had an 1800 on my SAT when I applied for SLS and I got in. Always helps, also, to be in...

There are walk-ons. Happens during beast.

Wait a little bit longer and get them resent. I had the same problem when applying and I had to resend. The thing is, if anything happens en route, or while at the academy -- it's on you to get your stuff in on time, regardless.
