As a 2014 (soon to be grad) go with USAA. They are the best bank you can have in the military. Pen Fed has a location on campus, but they are subpar and annoying to deal with.

Current Cadet-Answered 2014 Cadet here let my try to answer all of this: You are authorized any computer monitor that is under 22 inches across. I use an HDTV. -The printers we were issued were black and white and most people threw them out because the ink was expensive to replace. Right...

but better yet, you will be doing yourself a favor if you just get in shape and pass with flying colors first go around. Because if you don't pt before you get here, especially run (I swam so I was not used to it at all) it will rip you apart.

let me put this whole thing to rest. Yes you can resubmit, however your regional commander has to authorize the retest, when you submit your scores on the portal they lock in unless you get resubmission approval. I did this when I applied last year and was admitted, so I know for a fact that...

I was in F co, Im pretty sure everyone was issued the same amount of ammo for range week, because I shot 1000 rounds minimum. Our company emphasis during range week was just 100% qualification on the 1st day. I dont think during beast they varied company training schedules that much because we...

What was your happiest moment? Passing Land Nav in the rain without a protractor What was your moment of deepest despair? Getting a c first detail, I tought I performed better than that. What made you know this is for you? My buddies, here, the camaraderie is crazy here What made you...

basically ive heard it depends on your cadre, you may or may not get to use them at various times. However people who did use them last year said they were lifesavers, so bring some and hope that the cadre is lenient. Im bringing 5+ pairs of various kinds. I know we will at least get to use them...

thank you everyone, yesterday i went to a running store and got othopedics and shoes, my legs feel a lot better now. Turns out the shoe was my problem

Alright, this would go out to anyone who runs, I am a swimmer, so I haven't up until the last few months. I ran for about a mile today and stopped because of a soreness in my lower front shin / ankle region. I biked a couple of miles and was fine, no pain afterwords. Does anyone know what...

and if potheads bullying you is a dent on your self esteem, how will you react to a cadre yelling at you?

May I throw in my 2 cents. First of all scoutpilot, i apologize in advance, but unfortunately as a teen teenage wisdom is all I can give at present, Once I gather the years of experience required, I personally guarantee that the situation will be rectified :shake: Wyko, It seems to me...

stay safe, see you on R day

I was accepted as a prospective new cadet for the class of 2014, my SAT score was 1890. The SAT is not a lynchpin like it is at many other universities.
