    Travel from West Point to Airport in NYC

    Congrats to your DS. Great advice by Walman888. Our DS is a recent grad. He would routinely take the ferry service (when in season) from WP to Garrison and take a train to Grand Central. There are buses from Grand Central to LGA, but an UBER or LYFT from GC to LGA may be quicker based on time...

    USMA Summer Leader Academy (not SLE)

    Hello all. Is anyone familiar with "Summer Leader Academy" (not SLE)? Cows just received their summer assignments (CTLT and CDLT). Noticed a third reference for Summer Leader Academy at USMA at the end of CDLT for 4 days and am not familiar with the program. Appreciate any help.

    Federalist Article by Former Cadet

    "among hospitalized adults with COVID-19 like illness" is an important qualifier to note when referencing that study. Are statistics available for cadet hospitalizations due to COVID-19 at USMA? It seems very likely that DODMERB screening, age, and the general health condition of cadets play...

    CFA Deadline

    It may be good to get one on the books sooner rather than later. You can always update after the season, but don't want to risk any injuries in football season that force you into a rough or impossible deadline.

    Please use the Upload Docs section of your candidate portal. It is the place to submit both videos.

    General Milley and "the book" ???

    Certainly hope it's not true. Sedition (as defined by UCMJ) is likely the term of interest. Like many things in the US Armed Forces, there is a process for dealing with this. Hopefully General Milley did not violate the process nor his role in the chain of command. The organization (i.e. the...

    potential recruited athlete question

    The process for recruited athletes will be explained by the coach doing the recruiting. It is key for DS to CONFIRM he is being recruited by the new coach. The old coach left and his promises likely went with him. Once DS speaks with Coach Plotkin (who is a class act), DS will know if he is a...
