    2014 Beast Update

    The Ice Cream Social is today! We're all doing okay - everything seems really hard while you're doing it, but not so bad after you've finished. Hazing hasn't been bad but the cadre have definitely been putting major physical/mental stress on us (what else would you expect?). My peers are great...

    Thanks and goodbye

    As an aside, I'd like to also express deep thanks to those who have contributed to the forums. The info I got from them helped me make the decision to attend WP and has helped me prepare immensely for this summer and school year. I can't wait to meet all my classmates and start this long road to...

    You're going to the right place: https://www.usafawebguy.com/user/register where it has checked "I would like to purchase a four year membership" near the bottom of the page, de-select it and all the credit card info and ID stuff will automatically go away.

    WebGuy Site

    My friend is going through Beast right now. I made an account with Webguy, hoping to get access to pictures. Do you have to pay the fee to have the ability to look at the picture gallery? Right now all I am able to do is look at blog posts and recent videos. Links are welcomed. Thanks :)

    Question About FCE and Mathematics Placing

    If I make a 4 on a History AP test, will it be possible to validate History if I do well on the placement test? I didn't know if 5 was the standard. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

    Foreign Language at West Point

    So will I take the Language Aptitude Test (with the made up language to see whether I can master a difficult language) as well as a Spanish Placement test during Beast? I'm trying to get into Persian and am wondering if they will make me take a Spanish test as well (since I took 7 semesters...

    Beast supplies....socks?

    "They're your feet" meaning: -"It's a bit much that you spent 10 minutes composing an email about pairs of socks to bring when we're talking about FEET here. Feet." OR -"They're your feet!! How can you say that the topic is trivial when these dirty knubs will be carrying you for miles...

    black low quarters - females

    BOOT question - I am deciding between an 8 and an 8.5. When you "break in" your boots do they tend to get a little bigger? Lifting up my toes in the 8 is a tiiiiny bit cramped but feels like a better overall fit. On the other hand the 8.5 feels more comfortable generally, but I'm worried...

    black low quarters - females

    Technically, I guess they can be any normal hot weather boot by the four brands. If you're looking to get Bellville's, I'm pretty sure the DES 390 is the agreed-upon correct boot.

    black low quarters - females

    MAJOR thanks to all of the kind folks who replied to my message. I'm trying to get my hands on the MCSS Directory for my area to get the official low quarters. Although I'm trying to get the shoes for at least a week of wearage, I'm not going to freak out about it if I can't get them in time...

    Choosing a bank

    I actually set up a PenFed checking (and savings) account today over the phone. They were extremely helpful. I chose them over USAA because of their convenient locale. I plan on opening an account at USAA and switching to them a couple of months before I graduate. ..considering USAA insurance...

    Female cadet gift ideas

    Curious about something menial... Can you subscribe to a magazine while at West Point? I'm sure it is possible, technically, but as a plebe I don't want to get any extra attention or step on anyone's toes. However, I did think that we have our own personal mailbox, so maybe it's not a big deal.
