I just wanted to throw a bone to the nervous parents of those new rats, rooks etc that have opened their check books, signed the parent plus loans and are about to cry all the way home up I81 from Lex wondering if it is really all worth it. Is VMI what it sells itself to be? Not everyone that...

The VMI Corps of Cadets have been selected to march in the Presidential Inaugural Parade on January 21st 2013. I just think it is cool. What an honor.

http://www.ewbcadet.org/ Here is a link if you want to order your Cadet or Rat a "care package" delivered to the room for Finals week. Order deadline is Nov 30th. It is a worthy organization and DS said that the package he received last year had a ton of food. It was very much appreciated.

DS shared this link of FaceBook. Wasn't sure which forum was the best choice but it is a worthy endeavor. http://www.razoo.com/story/100mi-Cycling-Event-For-Wounded-Warriors-1?fb_ref=1xGHHAs9U&referral_code=share

DS is going for a few days for an FTX this week.. I am just curious what it is like and what things he will be doing. I have no idea. DH took a tent and went camping for his..(not Navy, and haven't set foot on a military base in decades), and we were just curious if someone has been there...

After the Rats return to barracks tonight the much dreaded yet anticipated week will begin..(we believe). 2012 +3 push ups to be done in their spare time and one very long week to follow. Praying for the Rat Mass and all who make it possible.

I received information in the mail for the Baldridge Reading and Study Strategy Program that they are offering to the Cadets/Rats at VMI. It is to be offered Feb 12th through Feb 16th at VMI. Fee is $150.00. It runs for 75 minutes a night classes beginning after 2000hrs at Scott Ship Hall...

I just want to share this because I know my Rat is not alone. DS like most on SAF was a solid HS student. A's were normal and expected. I know many of his BR's are doing great academically and are really doing amazingly well...kudos to them.:thumb: Then there is my DS who will be happy to...

Question DS failed his most recent VFT. Actually he has never passed the pull up part. This semester he is dealing with the Rat Line and adjusting to college classes and is doing okay all around. I asked him if he had time to hit the gym to work on pull ups regularly and he said "not with as...

To all the prospective Rats for 2016, per DS that just completed STP "Go if at all possible." He learned so much and is so grateful to have gone. Got the dreaded Eng comp class out of the way with a B :smile: and it's 3 less credits to carry come this fall. Not to mention the friends he has...

:thumb: DS got his notification of his class choice for STP. Eng Comp was his #1 pick so that worked out well. :thumb: Also his bill showed up on Post View with in state tuition cost instead of OOS. And they haven't posted any financial aid yet. I find it odd. The little demon inside me wants...

I understand that there are many opportunities for different clubs etc, but how realistic is it to think about things like the Glee Club or taking a part in a play during Rat year. DS just finish his final HS performance, and he said that he was going to miss performing the most of the many...

http://linensupplier.com/ I struggled to find XL twin flat sheets last year when he went to camp. Its almost impossible without buying a whole set. Not sure of the quality, but after the frustration of not finding what DS needed for camp and looking over the packing list for Rat year, this...

the Summer program..is this a reasonable assessment? or plan for our son? Engineering major. Currently has a 98% in HS AP Calc, so math is his strong suit. Has done the same in science. English/writing is his weakest subject. Is the math going to be that much harder in college that he should...

My son is planning on VMI or Norwich. He was accepted at both. He received an academic scholarship to Norwich. He received an ADHD diagnosis at 5 years old..(dangerously wild child)..kept him out of school till age 6..(flunked the entrance exam at private school at 5..tested 2+ years behind age...

Just hoping someone can shed some light. My son has a Deans scholarship offer from Norwich...8500 a semester assuming he can keep his grades up and he is in line for some other local scholarships that are significant but not as significant compared to ROTC money which is still a possibility. I...
