Thank you so much

What to expect? Just booked a room less than 20 miles away. Will time be spent mostly on campus? Off campus? Totally in the dark rookie here

Merchant marine academy? Coast guard Academy? USMA?

Hopefully he enters already understanding that worrying, in general, is nothing but inefficiency and wasted time. It not am confident that he will become an exemplar on the concept. He has hunted enough to know that warm and dry feet are essential on cold days, and that failure to prepare is...

Anyone have any feedback on these? They are the only pair that DS could get to fit the best. At any rate from my perspective, I believe a heavy fog or dew will insure he has wet feet. Winter time…will West Point allow him to earn and provide cadets with a pair of waterproof winter boots? It...

Neither should so many other factors, out of the control of the candidates.

My ds found a great pair of running shoes yesterday, but he rejected them/placed them back because he didn’t feel he could effectively deadlift or squat in them. Ideas thoughts ?

As a retiring public educator, I do have a strong bias towards servant leadership and consumer relations. My point was that the FFO was honest, and established question and answer sessions, even a personal meeting with a USMA cadet. This BGO, unlike the one the previous cycle, didn’t come...

Was emphasizing the quality of the ffo. Wasn’t necessarily criticizing the bgo. Hell my ds and the bgo weren’t assigned to each other to late in the process, since he was a reapllicant. I know naval admissions is impeccable and never make a mistake, as so many on this board will agree...

Does that require a background check or just say the signature of an official (County attorney or sheriff)
