This year's boot memo from the portal says you can have any ar670-1 boot for cbt.

Does anyone know how SGLI is paid for? I researched, and it costs about $25 per month for full 400K coverage. Will this $25 be cut from my monthly cadet pay?

I am so confused about this. First of all, it doesn't make sense if West Point is doing this to test if people would be fine with a longer requirement. I am in AP Statistics this year, and there are ways to conduct this survey without confusing and misleading folks. Second of all, it doesn't...

The tradition is that motto is supposed to rhyme or near rhyme with 'twenty-four.'

Where did an extra 5 appointments come from, and why is the order jumbled?

^^Looks like the first wave could be starting.

I just got a nomination earlier today from my representative. Yay! It showed up as a green check on the USMA portal. I think I may get a letter or email about it later.

Hi, I'm a current candidate. I don't know if it is appropriate for me to paste each essay question verbatim, but here's what each essay question basically asks: USMA Why do you want to attend USMA and serve in Army? How did you address a difficulty & what did you learn about your character? How...

I just checked the candidate portal again. The message used to say --- Initial Evaluation Pending --- ** This evaluation will not begin until August 15, 2019 at the earliest for most candidates to USMA 2024.** But today it changed and it says August 9th instead. Does this mean it's going to...

I think there's a lot of conflicting information too. My Regional Commander sent out an email last week saying the next part was scheduled to be released today August 1st, but nothing has happened for me yet. I wonder how they decide who's portal opens when. I am assuming someone has to review...

I emailed by regional technician about my test scores last month. They redirected me to my regional commander and he worked with me to get them on record.

I don't think it's a problem since you already have the portal open. They're probably just emailing your other email since there is no portal account associated with that one. If you don't wish to receive emails, most college outreach emails have a small unsubscribe button at the bottom of each...

What is a NonCom? I've never heard of this before.

I thought you only get one chance for the CFA after the one at SLE. Do you automatically get two chances afterwards, or do you have to get the additional one approved?

Hold on, how is it possible to get an LOE as someone going into junior yr. right now? The youngest candidates only open the questionnaire at the middle of junior year at earliest. Even for those going into senior year, the main application won't open until this August. Is your friend recruited...

Wait, how is it possible to for admissions to give out LOAs so early in August? The full application only opens at the start of August. Are test scores, transcripts, essays, and self-reported activities enough information? School doesn't even start until late August or September, so counselors...

The SLE instructions say that the candidate cannot be paced by someone else during the mile run. Since they have 500 kids there, how is it possible for folks to run individually? Or do they forgo that rule for the SLE mile?

Enlisting while still in high school seems like a big challenge. It may be easier if you do a delayed entry or split option program or part time with the reserve or guard. I'm also a HS junior, and I don't think I would be ready to enter the service while still in school.

I'm going to SLE too. Would I be fine if I just bringed a sleeping bag and didn't use sheets and blankets?

Hi, I just read some news about College Board expanding the use of an "adversity score" to judge test-takers' social-economic background. Does anyone know if USMA or other academies will use this score, or do SA admissions do their own calculations? I don't live in a high crime, high poverty...
