I use an iPad and Apple Pencil. Some people use other brands of tablets. I’d just use whatever your preference is.Any opinion on note-taking tech? Have seen posts elsewhere regarding Remarkable vs Apple Pen.
You mean as for class? We typically wear them 2 days a week. However during beast you will wear low quarters almost everyday.How many days a week do you wear Class Bs to class? Asking because we may get inserts for my son’s low quarters if he’ll be wearing them a lot. Thank you
lol who told y’all there’s no phones here? The only time he won’t have his phone is during beast. And even then after 3 weeks we get them back for about 4 hours and we can call back home. You can see him A day weekend, 2 days. Thanksgiving break was 3 or 4 days. You can come up for family weekend - 3 days. Christmas is 2 weeks. Spring break is 1 week. And then there’s several 3 day weekends that y’all could fly up or he can fly down depending on if y’all want to. We always have access to our phones and he can call home as much as he wants during AY year. We get issued computers and he can also bring his own computer to. However I wouldn’t bring a ton of extra stuff till after beast.Our DS just got his acceptance to WP yesterday and he wanted to know how often he will be able to see family? What are the breaks and for how long? Will he get use of a cell or computer for family/friend communication during the first year? He is also having to decide this against NAVY and ARMY ROTC as choices but is leaning WP for obvious reasons. Greatly appreciate your feedback.
Also plebe parent weekend parents are invited to come from Friday - Sunday and then plebes are released to be with y’all till the next Sunday. So that’s about 10 days there.lol who told y’all there’s no phones here? The only time he won’t have his phone is during beast.

Thank you, will definitely get inserts.You mean as for class? We typically wear them 2 days a week. However during beast you will wear low quarters almost everyday.
I don't see a response for this one so I'll help you out.Thanks for doin this! I have a few questions:
1) SPECIFICALLY, how many pairs of underwear / dress socks / boot socks should I bring?
2) What kind of watch should I get for CBT?
3) Should I bring a shoeshine kit?
4) Do you recommend wearing liners underneath socks for boots/low-quarters? If so, where do you get them (I've seen this advised on other threads)?
5) Do you recommend Medicated powder or other foot-treatments for blisters? If so, what?
Thanks again!
You can wear any color shoes. Cadre do not say anything. Combat boots are tan. Just google AR 670-1 compliant boots.Thank you for your feedback. Our DS wanted to ask if Red running shoes are ok or do I need to stick to a certain color? He currently has a pair of these for Cross Country now.View attachment 11911
Also are the combat boots black or tan for low and high? Thanks
No. We owear them almost everyday during beast. But 2 days a week during school year. I answered this about 3 comments aboveAre low-quarters the type of shoes that cadets wear on a daily basis?
Ah, my mistake. Thank you!No. We owear them almost everyday during beast. But 2 days a week during school year. I answered this about 3 comments above
No problem! feel free to ask more questions if you have them.Ah, my mistake. Thank you!
Wym after beast? Like during AY year, if so yes we will always have our phones so he could call whenever he’s done with class. If you mean during beast then they can FaceTime around July 18th during the ice cream social cus he’ll get his phone for about 4 or 5 hours I think. And during beast you get 1 phone call a week ish to call home.My DS wanted to know if he could FaceTime his family when he has down time after beast?
So be sure to answer your phone if it rings any time during beast. Sometimes the cadets will have a little down time. It isn't uncommon for cadre to let Cadet Candidates use their cell phones to call home, even before the mid-point Ice Cream Social. No telling where the cadre is from so answer any strange looking call. It may not be someone selling a car warranty.Wym after beast?
