To share an idea from a poster on the West Point feed, I wanted to make a thread regarding all things plebe summer. Basically a hot spot for Plebe Summer discussion, advice and stories. This will keep this kind of clutter out of the
Words of Wisdom - for Plebe Summer (Parts I and II) thread. Not that I am overthinking PS or anything, just want to soak up as much info as possible. Some starter questions I have:
- What do you wish you had known before going to PS?
- What is something you wish you had brought to PS or something you did bring that proved to be very useful?
- What is the worst part of PS?
- What is the best part of PS?
- How do you get through really tough days?
- Is there something you wish you had done to prepare before PS? Or did you do something to prepare that made things easier?
- What does the average day look like in the first half of PS? The second?
- (Thanks to @newcadet2027 for the question Ideas)
I also dare breach the topic of studying Reef Points before PS. I know some people morally forbid this, some think it is useful, and some advise it. I'd love more thoughts on this.
Ill also link this for any other 27'ers who stumble upon this thread, as I found this link very helpful:
