    BAH after graduation?

    Hey all. I'm getting married just after graduation (29-30 May), and I'm curious how the BAH system works for new grads. First and foremost, am I entitled to BAH over grad leave? Looking at the rules, I think I should be, as I would be a "A member with permanent duty within the 50 United...

    I heard a rumor that Beast is going to be a lot tougher this year because 5 WP graduates dropped out of Ranger School, saying that it was too hard and they didn't like being yelled at. Is there any truth to this?

    Administrative Remedial

    I got an administrative remedial waiver a while ago, I filled it out and sent it in. It's been a couple weeks, and I assumed everything was OK, but I just got a letter saying that I was qualified for Navy, but something about "remedial requested" for Army. This is worrying, because I've already...

    Okay, here's the breaks. I already have an appointment to USMA, have accepted it, have been deemed medically qualified by DODMERB and all that. However.... I dislocated my finger around Christmas time. My dad's a doctor, and he was able to reduce the finger very quickly (within minutes)...

    Sports Injury

    A little before Christmas, I dislocated my middle finger in a wrestling match. It wasn't very pretty, and although my dad managed to reduce the finger(He's a doctor) and allow me to get back to the match (I won, 7-1), it's been about a month, it is at a a little bit of a funny angle and I have...

    Importance of Updating Administrative File?

    I was looking through my file on the USMA website, and I noticed that my administrative file was out of date. By out of date, I noticed that it had not been updated since my junior year. So, naturally, I submitted a request to have it updated. The changes are pretty significant. For example, I...

However, a little while later, I was notified that I had received a nomination from Senator John Cornyn. I also updated my file with a bunch of new information(I'm a platoon leader in JROTC...

    Lasik/PRK

    I have a question concerning corrective eye surgery at USMA. Is it possible to get it while at the Academy? I know that USNA has a program for it, and I was curious as to whether USMA had a similar one. I know that getting it before hand is a definite no-no, and I was just wondering if it was...

    JROTC Nomination to USMA?

    I recently received two letters from USMA. One letter was congratulating me on receiving an ROTC nomination to USMA. My schools JROTC unit is an Honor Unit with Distinction, so apparently we get to give out a few nominations. This is good, because I haven't heard back from the Senators and my...
