While I don't condone cheating, you seem way to pleased with ruining the aspirations of a young person.

When my son applied (Class of 2023) there was a specific format. You need to read EVERYTHING

I agree the English in your post was not ideal ... as you stated

I'm not altering your meaning. You may have meant something different, but what you actually wrote is incorrect in substance and confusing for prospective candidates. I merely intended to clarify that "principal" nom in not required.

I quoted you DIRECTLY. GO back and look. You wrote: "No idea when, but principal nom plus 3q is required by law to be offered appointment at USMA."

Hate to disagree but you are incorrect. As mentioned above, an LOA is absolutely a conditional guarantee of appointment IF the outstanding conditions mentioned in the LOA are satisfied (typically something like Med qualified, nomination, etc). Please look it up, especially since you are part of...

A "principal" nomination is NOT required by law. Most slates are submitted on a competitive basis (ie, no "principal" nom)

Absolutely incorrect. A nomination is needed. You do not directly apply to attend USMAPS. You must apply to USMA by completing a Pre-Candidate Questionnaire and by obtaining a nomination, normally from a United States Congressman or Senator. Your admission to USMAPS is determined as part of the...

I believe RGARM is Sec of the Army. Does that make sense?

DS was a college re-applicant and is currently a member of the Class of 2023. He received his appointment 06-Feb. When he initially received his TWE, he had outstanding leadership & ECAs. was in Natl Honor Society and the Top 20% of his class, etc. But, his ACTs were just slightly above...

While your statement is true, a first year wrestler would have a better chance being struck by lightning than beating a State Champion

While it may seem fair to you, simply neglecting the premise I (and several others) put forward does not make it so. BRADSO exists to lengthen retention - period. That it does so by disenfranchising certain cadet achievements is a shame. But, as I've always told my kids, life isn't fair. Accept...

Typically, each MOC has 10 slots (nominations) for each SA.

Suppose you aren't sure if you want to stay more than five years. You wanted to serve your five and make a decision. Now, if you get leapfrogged by someone who decides to BRADSO and don't get your choice, the decision may be easier. Seem fair? Perhaps we should just do away with class rank as...

As the father of a successful high school wrestler I can tell you with absolute certainly, no inexperienced kid (regardless of gender) is going to walk onto the mat and stand out. I've seen two first year all-state football players (great athletes) struggle all season long against mid level...

There are PLENTY of morning workouts at Army ! The physical demands at USMA are greater than at Navy

Very interested in your response. Please do post if you have time ... and good luck !

You're already grouped in a bucket, and ranked. Your acceptance of a longer commitment leap frogs you past me ... that's the part I am referring to

"Inherently less academic" - that may be true for junior officers. However, its essential for Senior officers.

Nevertheless - if you agree to a longer commitment, you get preferential treatment. That runs counter to the spirit of any meritorious system. You're going to find the traits that make you successful as a cadet have an impact on your performance as an officer.
