    Boots

    I was just reading through the "Information for New Cadets and Parents" packet and it said that: "To condition your feet so as to minimize blisters, you should begin your CBT preperation now. You should purchase two pairs of Army-issue (ACU) boots. You are now authorized to purchase...

    What Uniform will West Point Cadets wear

    Maybe he meant the jackets that are worn with "as for class" uniforms. They just went from grey to black, which is the same as officers use. I think that can end up saving money when you graduate.

    Response

    Thanks. As soon as I know where I'm going I'll make sure to decline the others. I wouldn't want to make anyone wait longer than necessary for the big envelope.

    candidate visit weekend invite

    If I went to NASS is it really necessary to go or do they look favorably on candidates who take the weekend visit? If the spots are limited it makes sense that someone who didn't go to NASS and knows nothing about the academy should go instead. On the other hand learing all you can before...

    Remedials

    I just received the results from my exam and it asks for a pathology concerning a lump on my lip I had removed. There was no pathology performed. They found that it was just a saliva gland that had become irritated because of an orthodondic device. Who can I contact at DoDMERB since there was...

    Heart Murmur

    I just had my physical today and the doctor said I had a faint heart murmur and would probably have to go to get an EKG for it to be cleared. Do I go through my own doctor for this or will DodMERB notify me that I need an EKG and assign a doctor for me to use. My ALO is pushing me to get...

    NASS

    What does the physical end of NASS entail? I've been having an IT band problem with my leg and I'm going to a physical therapist and having it worked on. I'm hoping I'm good to go in time and if not I'll just grin and bear it for the week and let it recover after. What kind of running is...

    SATs

    Sorry, I posted this under USMA but it goes for all the academies. Does anyone know if/what academies are looking for the SAT writing score for the class entering 2009? I just got my results and I feel confident of my verbal(740)/math(690) scores. My writing score was a little lower (610) but...

    Majors

    I just got an information packet about the CGA in the mail and in it they definately seemed to push majoring in engineering. It said that engineering majors are able to apply for any assignment in the CG. Does this mean that government majors are limited in their assignment choices? Are...

    Elections

    This might be a dumb question but if I am applying for the class of 2013 will I still be applying for nominations from the current MOCs. If their terms end in January 2009 will they be able to give out nominations to the class that is entering in the summer of 2009 or will that be the new MOCs.
