I am having the same problem, how can I print out the forms needed for R day without using the portal?

Hi all, I’ve been breaking in my boots for a little while, however I’ve been getting consistent blisters on the back of my heel, is this normal or should I be doing something other than running with them consistently, and is there anything I could do differently to prevent getting these...

Hi all, just wanted some advice on what language would be best to take at West Point and for use outside and inside the army. I understand that some of the process is out of my control, but advice on which language would be best is really appreciated

Do you have to meet height/weight requirements when reporting to West Point on the first day? Meaning do you get sent home if you don’t meet requirements on first day?

Hey all, just looking for whatever info you can give on beast. Daily schedule or anything you think an incoming plebe should know. Really appreciate any info you can give, thanks in advance.

Really appreciate the answer and info, now do you choose which AOC you are in on post night?

What exactly are your options when commissioning? Are you becoming a lieutenant of people working with computers not in combat? Really naive to the whole situation so any info would be appreciated.

Yeah but definitely reach out to your RC or Field Force too.

Ok thank you very much.

Ive already been deemed qualified and granted a waiver for a specific thing, so even after answering the questions I do not have to report such visits? Appreciate your advice I just don’t want to break the rules without knowing.

Do I have to report every time I go to a doctor or specialist to DODMERB?

Yeah you’re fine, got placed on NWL then appointed 2 days later, and if they told you you have a principal nom I think you’re set.

Ok so I got the same exact letter and then 3 days later I was appointed so don’t give up hope at all.

What’s the physical standard at West Point?

I was appointed with a BB throw of 69, 5 pull ups, 8.4 shuttle, 80 something sit ups, 49 push ups, and a 7:18 mile so you should be fine good luck

Just received my appointment today, thank you all for the information and help.

Thank you for your information, I’m from a very competitive district on Long Island so when I saw that I was placed on the NWL, I immediately thought I did not win the slate. Really appreciate your responses.

They tell you exactly if you’ve been placed on the NWL. What did they send you in your 3Q letter?

Yeah I’m in the same situation. I received my LOE in September, medical waiver in November, and nomination this week and was just put on the NWL.

When are slate winners typically determined? I thought being placed on the NWL is what they do with the qualified alternates and not the slate winners.
