    Life at & after the Academy

    I was so excited to show up for I Day I couldn't sleep on June 24th. I show up and I remember sitting down for lunch and looking out the window and thinking what am I doing here, this was a mistake. At that time 6 weeks felt like forever away and the reality of my new life set in. There are...

    My cadre during basic did this, I remember him saying how he didn’t sign any paperwork, they kinda just forgot about him and didn’t make him sign any release paperwork, but you technically have to. he said that an appointment to a service academy supersedes any previous contract you have with...

    AFT/PFT

    It’s all fun and games until they don’t let you drink water during the pft, so your throat basically is sandpaper and you taste blood.

    OCONUS travel

    W Us cadets weren’t given any guidance about SOFA, sounds like a special circumstance. Have your cadet go to the officer in charge of his/her company, that’s the best place to start IMO.

    OCONUS travel

    We were told that all travel outside the US must be approved by the Chain of Command (not sure how far up). Also only visits to family outside the country will be given any consideration and there is no guarantee of approval.

    Changes to the 4/C “Training” System

    As a doolie, I actually like wearing ocps to a football game, officers are more willing to take their rank off and give them to me (to wear) when they’re wearing OCPs in comparison to blues.

    My roommate and I just finished BCT: Ask us anything

    So the way noon meal works here is that one half of the wing will eat on one day at Mitches and the other half will eat a box meal in the dorms and they will switch. We don’t do noon meal formations simply because of Covid and that many people that close together is not something that is doable...

    My roommate and I just finished BCT: Ask us anything

    Dodmerb was just like a normal sports physical, just tell the truth and just do your best with the eye exams and hearing exams. My SAT score was a 1410. There are people here with a huge range of Test Scores, it's more about the strength of your application more than one single test score.

    My roommate and I just finished BCT: Ask us anything

    The hardest thing for me is having to be in uniform for me 24/7. If you want to go on the tzo you have to be in the Uniform of the Day. Meaning if you are in PT gear (you can only be in PTs after Academic Call to Quarters), you have to change into the UOD just to get something as simple as...
