I understand we are going to be issued laptops with the card readers but I was wondering if any cadets have desktop PCs and if there are any policies surrounding them. I have a desktop I would like to bring with me (maybe not for plebe year, but as an upperclassman). Also, does anyone know the...

The instructions and forms for applicants offered admission and the sample oath of allegiance aren't available to me. Every other part of my admit kit (including E-QIP) is green checked. Are these forms available yet? I had some IT issues with my portal earlier due to the early appointment...

Coming in for R-day I want to be able to run an 11 minute 2 mile, do 20 pullups and 80-90 pushups. Currently at 14min 2 mile, 14 pullups, 70 pushups respectively. I am confident I can reach these numbers, I have a wrestling background. I strength train 5 days/week and I'm building up to 6 days...

Took my first official CFA today. The nerves got to me a bit. A week ago I took a mock CFA and got a 50ft basketball throw, a 9 second shuttle run, 14 pullups, 95 situps, 70 pushups and a 6 minute run. Today for the official CFA it was much warmer and much later in the day (after school as...

I'm looking to join the class of 2024 at either USMA or USAFA but I cannot decide. I've been pondering it for many months and I'm hoping that some external input can break the stagnation. I plan on majoring in mechanical or chemical engineering. After school, I plan on pursuing either the...
