Nice, I suppose, but his description of Plebe life doesn't do any justice. I don't know anyone who wakes up a 6 around here, except maybe Sunday. I wake up at 4:30 every morning, and thats the nights I go to sleep... Last week I missed two night of sleep due to homework, etc. Makes greeting...

Are you sure BGOs can't ask about medical? I remember specifically that both my BGO and my interviewer from the USMA asked about my physical condition, including sports injuries. It wouldn't make a lot of sense if they can't ask "Do you have any injuries?" I mean you would want to know the hole...

I almost went ahead and bought a Gerber instead of Leatherman, but decided against it. The one Walmart had was like a swithblade gerber thing with 20 some odd bits or something. Too many attachments. I went for a barebones Leatherman Kick. Seems sufficient for my purposes.

I read into the Dragonskin issue at a couple of different sources. The biggest problem seems to be Pinnacle's poor attitude. I can't imagine the Army ever using their products after some of the statements they have issued concerning Generals and the Army at large. I do think that they should...

Depends which uniform he is wearing. The covers are notably different from a distance and the grey seemed to be a different tint but that could just be my imagination.

Hell, if its so good, I think thats the first thing I'll bye when I earn my commission. Can't ever be too safe. No dependents, so I have no use for life insurance anyhow.

Your husbands dead. No amount of money is going to bring him back (I mean unless you just married him for money anyhow, and this could lead to an unexpected drop in money reserved for shopping binges.) I have heard more ridiculous things...Whats next suing the Army because you...

How embarrusing. At least we know he isn't a West Pointer (They would have been blabbing that everywhere if he was), but its still an embarrusment. I think there may be some indication, however that he didn't know what he was getting into. If he was commissioned in 2003, lets suppose he was in...

...I was just kidding about separating VMI and the Citadel. Too many will clutter the page, your absolutely right.

That title sounds a little dimunuitive. Try Public and Privately Funded Military Colleges. I wouldn't stick the Citadel and VMI in the same room... It could get ugly. I was denied admission to VMI for no apparent reason, and I have been told I was on a list of accepted to the Citadel and was...

It depends where you live. I got a Senator's Nom to USNA, and a Congresswoman's to USNA, USMA, and USAFA (I didn't even express an interest in the Air Force Academy!!!!!) So it depends on the number of applicants, and your caliber. Make sure you apply to all nomination sources and possibly...

I like a dedicated forum. Its a good idea. You should probably add an ROTC section, maybe a dedicated Admissions section, since much of the process is similar across the bored for the academies, alot of the information applies. The best thing I think would simply be a tell all permenant FAQ on...

Dang, my 400 is like 1:05+, then again the 400 isn't my event.

Don't mean to burst any hopes that you have had. But I have heard unconfirmed rumors that not only are most waitlisted candidates going to stay that way but the class is overbooked by 30 more Cadet Candidates than Congress allows. Supposedly they are going drop people on thin ice. (Then again...
