    New Medical Exam at 2/C year

    My DS is going to be 2/C this fall. I remember that there will be a new medical exam/review in the 3rd year at a service academy. My DS had wheezing history at the age of 7. It was only a few events during wildfire season (e.g., very bad air quality problem) but he included the info when he...

    R Day Packing List

    After I read this thread, I reviewed the list of "Optional Items for CBT." It says "These products will be available/accessible to Cadet Candidates at the Cadet Store (C-Store) during CBT." All these optional items will add up weight (Ouch!). Is it really worth bringing all these optional...

    Five for Five

    After I saw Capt MJ's response, I reviewed the article thoroughly. "I have enjoyed it in the air and I don't really want to be stuck in a boat or out somewhere in the Army." Well....I laughed actually...better understanding now. That might be a very bold statement to other communities.

    Five for Five

    The young man has achieved so many things and will serve the country very well. The really interesting thing is that some SA forum users have an extremely weird mindset. How can this young man's passion to serve the country be regarded as somewhat negative because he applied to all 5 SAs??? I...

    Denied From SLE, Is This The End?

    I think that West Point has the unique criteria for SLE. Both my children were not invited to SLE but received the appointments even before 1st Wave, e.g., early phase without an LOA. I know some other candidates experienced the same. My children were invited to other SAs' summer seminars...

    USAFA or Stanford ROTC?

    When I went to the Farm, the traffic was not a big deal. I-280 is much better than the alternative routes, e.g., SR101 and/or El Camino Real. But you might need to use these alternatives from time to time. Stanford has the notorious quarter system. It would be very tough and stressful in the...

    West Point Cadets involved with Drugs on Spring Break

    Let's be honest. Why did this incident become nationwide news? Because the West Point (WP) cadets are involved..... Let's be honest. The Zero-Tolerance Drug Policies are working well for many other institutions. Since WP has developed and proved one of the highest standards in the world, the...

    Current Female Plebe - AMA

    Thank you so much! My child will join the CBT this June. We have not thought about the returns. It's smart to use the Amazon Prime with free return policies. Thank you!

    Current Female Plebe - AMA

    @OP Thank you for your consideration! There are some great input about boots and socks in this SA forum. But all the recommendations are for Men's boots complying with AR670-1. Do you have any recommendations for new female cadets in terms of good boots for CBT? The following list for boots...

    C/O 2026 must be vaccinated before Iday

    I have realized that many people don't understand the difference between "requirements" and "recommendations." One of my coworkers had refused to take vaccines based on her beliefs. Since March 2020, many employees have been infected with COVID. Only one died. The healthy coworker who refused...

    C/O 2026 must be vaccinated before Iday

    From time to time, it's good to "watch" how people react to an idea that is not aligned with their intelligence, prejudice, biased thoughts, different ideas, education level, different experience, etc. The common response from those who have biased minds and/or don't allow different ideas or...

    C/O 2026 must be vaccinated before Iday

    I can't imagine this. Soldier: "Sir, I got hit. Bleeding too much. Help!!!!" Prestigious SA Graduate: "No worries. You are ok. But first things first!" "Let me..." Soldier: "Ahh..sir...help!" Prestigious SA Graduate" "As said, first things first!" "Are you fully vaccinated or partially?" "I...

    I saw an YouTube video that a Plebe was wearing Nike. How about NIKE SFB Gen 2?

    Sending your MIDN back to The Yard...

    OP, you are experiencing a typical "Empty Nest Syndrome." This syndrome gets worse when hormones change around 50s. It is what it is. It's part of life and there will be the end of the tunnel. This is what will happen: (Plebe year) Me: Oh...no...goodbye...see you soon.....tears... . . ...

    On the Fence About Going to USMA

    LOL.....I never thought that LOL is one of the best and succinct expressions I can have for a response. LOL for those who are demeaning West Point. What a great joke! "Never understanding never understanding....." General Norman Schwarzkopf said to those who are cynical to West Point. His...

    Academic Qualification

    Based on an admission officer, the portion of academics is 60% out of an application/evaluation, which is significant. It is why it's important to get SAT/ACT scores as high as possible when other academics are not very competitive. You can't change what happened (grade) but you still have an...

    Federalist Article by Former Cadet

    Amazingly, General Schwarzkopf answered THE Question about the ongoing vaccine issues three decades ago. His statement and advice about West Point is very simple and clear. If you can watch this video carefully, you can find who we are, e.g., leaders of 21st century. What an inspirational speech!
