Lot's of boot socks. Also at least one family photo. I am not exactly sure on what you are able to bring however so..

I would definitely bring at least 2-3 towels. Mostly so you can rotate them without needing to wash them every 2 weeks, but also because you'll need a towel to workout in Arvin. Also, an ironing kit and shirt stays are pretty practical ISO your personal appearance. Bring some civilian clothes...

BEAST is as bad as you make it. It was pretty tough for me from the physical perspective since my preparation was rather lackluster beforehand. Unlike previous years however, our BEAST was more focused on building team cohesion rather than breaking us down like in the movies. It was still...

I'm not a huge watch guy but for BEAST, I had a G-shock. Honestly anything that's waterproof, tells the time, and has an alarm is pretty useful. For the academic year, an apple watch or Garmin watch is pretty standard.

Unfortunately no MIADS or AIADS for this summer. COVID backlogged the MIAD process for much of the upperclass, and its effects are trickling down now. However, I suspect that an airborne slot might be open for me next-next summer.

Honestly, just the regular computer is enough even though the monitor does help at times. For us, printers were not given to us until around spring break, so I wouldn't hold your breath about that... I would recommend just the computer. You can always buy monitors from people or online. Your...

See subject!

Sorry but I was accepted with the class of 2025. I appreciate your willingness to help though!

Usually about two weeks. Got appointed on the 2nd of February and received on the 29th.

I admire your ability to be honest with yourself. I would recommend finishing your application anyways. Keep an open mind throughout the whole process. If you get appointed and choose to accept, you will learn quick why you chose to go once you get there (in BEAST). West Point is an opportunity...

To speculate, I believe it is because during CBT you need to sign many different forms for like vaccinations, your cadet accounts, etc. which therefore requires you to be at least 17. I would still ask though.

It's not that deep. You get in or you don't get in. The idea that you get special treatment based on your race is misguided at best and purposefully deceitful at worst. Minority cadets (such as I) are held to the same standards as White cadets. Feel however you want to feel, but I know that I...

Fellow plebe here. DM me if you need someone to vent to or if you just want to talk about things! You don't have to if you do want to but anything helps!

Everything is pretty good. Good job! :thumb:

Yes. It factors in to a maximum of 10% of your application.

You are a male and the minimum for males is definitely above 38. If you fail to hit a minimum standard your whole CFA is a failure. Pullups are looking a little low as well. Passing CFA scores are determined by the average of your class. Retake the CFA and make sure you aim for ~8 pullups and...

This is failing. Needs to be ~45.

I'm not going to lie to you, the difference between a Citadel and a WP education is gigantic. One of my BEAST buddies was a Citadel Cadet, and he says that the things you get to do and learn here at WP blows the Citadel out of the water. Ultimately it's your life, yes, but when it comes to...
