    Current Cadet- Ask Away

    Your major does not decide your branch. If you want to do chemistry work in the Army I'm not sure which branch would be your best bet.

    I went to a lot of the admissions events, met my FFR and Reg Rep in person. And just show you are passionate about it. A lot of people will meet the physical and academic standards but also beingdriven and passionate as well as personable will set you apart.

    Well the military training, strictness, and workload is pretty West Point specific. You just will have different focuses and daily schedules. Obviously no parties, rank structure, different classes. Different summers etc.

    Biggest thing is network and show you want it. You’re qualified. Keep working hard in classes and stay involved with friends. I let the application consume me sometimes.

    Ask a ton of questions. There is a lot of stuff here that you won’t get to see so soak up as much as possible. It’s a hectic life sometimes so try to get a feel for how you’d fit here.

    Something I’ve realized coming here is a lot of people didn’t really know what they’re getting in to and are caught off guard by the intensity as well as the change of pace and work load. If anyone has any questions about the application or cadet life please ask. The more informed you are the...

    R-day Dental Exam

    I saw a bunch of people saying they were bringing a copy of their dental exam picture to R-day. I sent mine in and was approved. My question is do we have to bring a copy on R-day? I don’t remember a brief that states we do but just want to make sure.
