You get around $888.37 a month... technically. On hand spending depends on your class. 4/c get $150 3/c get $250 2/c get $350 1/c get $450 The difference between the amount you get for immediate spending is the amount placed into your white card account. This account is used for...

Biggest things: -Get accustomed to warm weather/heat. If you can't sleep without AC, then you better start learning how. -Stay in shape! Work on endurance, but also work on being able to hold about 8 lbs of weight out in front of you with arms parallel to the deck (trust me on this one, you...

I'm fighting in it, its gonna be a good show hopefully, this will not be me :stretcher:

honestly..... I can't think of anything here that would change. Course, I don't see any gov shutting down here any time soon why? are you planning something?:biggrin:

Today is 100th day at the Academy. 100 days until 2011 graduates, and also (by tradition) a day in which the 4/c switch places with the 2/c for a day. Let the fun begin.

I wonder if this has any connection to the newly installed wireless in Chase hall. I recall that a good portion of the entrance fee (about 3000 dollars) went to the computer (a dell Precision M4300....and for later classes some type of apple computer...). Unless I'm mistaken on what the...

Just about ever cutter out there is unique and awesome. Now, I'm graduating in just over a year, so this has been on my mind quite a lot. I haven't seen all the different types, but I can give perception on a few. What will make the most of any ship though, is the crew. The crew will make...

I know the same thing goes for Delaware, that you have to be 21 to get a hotel room. I remember first hearing about this at Boys State... back in the day... where one of the American Legion Vets running it mentioned it to us. I hear it bothers quite a few passing through Dover Air Force Base...

My advice would be to call up the Academy, and ask for admissions. They would be able to answer a lot of your questions.

If you are unable to visit the Academy with the shadow program, there is always tours every now and then. Call the Cadet Watch Office some time closer to when you would like to visit, and a tour can usually be arranged. Although you do not get to follow any 4/c around, you do get to see the...

You will need your wisdom teeth removed before you graduate as I hear it. However, I say wait until the school year (unless you really need them out). Also, if you do it with the Academy, its free and you have the clinic watching you. As well, you get bed-rest (or maybe SIQ.... I forget)...

Some other good gift ideas: -Small set of eating utensils; plate, fork, knife, spoon, cup (for those midnight snacks in your room or that takeout you got for that long night ahead). -A good alarm clock, don't want to be late for formation after those long nights. -A small personal fan. It gets...

There is a size limit of 24 inches for a computer monitor. That would be the only limitation (I have no idea what macs are limited to with monitors etc...... I still have ((and will hopefully remain so)) windows.) I would suggest, however, that a small flat screen tv with a computer input or...

The academy's internet has always been going down every now and then, so it would not surprise me if this is the reason. In the last week, its been down at least 4 times (always when its most needed for work.....). The internal/lan email has been working, but I don't think, during these times...

shoot, I just left station Annapolis 4 days before this happen from my summer training How funny would it have been to have a CG cadet rescue a naval cadet. Depending on when sector decides to call the station, and where the distressed vessel is, the time can vary. Most of the time is...

I heard macs as well, but I know it only as a rumor The Dells are pieces of crap; but it isn't really the computer's problem right now (although dells tend to overheat and break randomly) the windows vista is the problem on them. Vista is just a bad operating system with the dell. I...

they're here....... and we still call them beansprouts, command calls them cadet canidates or something else now

so I was in the mail room the other day picking up a package from home mmmm... brownies and I couldn't help to notice that there was a box that said "Admissions" and it was filled with big envelopes waiting to go out. just a heads up for a few :thumb: (there was about 20 envelopes, so don't...

not that I know of, and they are expensive too I would say that would depend on the AP test. You can't be exempt from a class just because of an AP test, but you can take a test while at the academy to exempt... some 4/c got out of Calc1, Calc II, Physics, Stats..... all because he tested...

I hear the accepted 60% of peopel already, so keep your hopes up. I never got mine till may 13th, and I was waitlisted group A
