Our local PD simply checked DS 'record' and signed a form that he'd never had any arrests, incarcerations, etc. It took about 34 seconds. Then again, we basically live in Mayberry NC.

We're sending a few items ahead via FedEx. Hotel said they'd be happy to hold them until our arrival. Multi tool, for sure... I'm not keen to give it to TSA, or lose it to an overzealous baggage handler at EWR.

+1. My son did the same. I don't understand the logic of showing up in gym shorts and a hoodie.

YES. My family drove to two different events in our state -- one was 2 hours away, the other was about 3 hours away. They were both multi-service events (USMA, USNA, USAFA, USCG, and USMMA) and although both meetings were similar in content, the presenters were different. That alone gave...

Ours in NC had both a signature and a paper-embossed seal (which didn't scan very well, regardless of DPI settings). DS scanned and uploaded it -- we'll see if it is 'accepted'. If not, he can certainly mail and/or hand-carry.

I think it is important to read the actual source content. In fact, the very first sentence clearly indicates the motto will remain Duty, Honor, Country. It is the mission statement which changes. Mission statements, from my point of view in the civilian world, are pretty much just...

My DS just had the same today (28 appointment as well). He's been groggy for the whole day. I assume the revised x-rays will get submitted and that's about it. (At first, I was shocked at the price of having his wisdom teeth removed.... but when he was leaving the office, the doc gave him...

Assuming you're New Orleans.... Spirit 1589 @ 5:15am. Arrives in EWR around 9:30am non-stop and he chills until USMA transportation takes him direct to WP. FWIW, We sent DS solo to his SLE session (on a similar flight schedule as listed above), then my wife and I drove up to WP to pick him...

For next year, an interesting metric to add to this list might be "SLE Y/N". Just a thought.

@Aleks I just ordered these for my son: https://originalfootwear.com/collections/altama/products/uniform-oxford

@Aleks My son (incoming 2028 also) has been breaking in a pair to Garmont NFS to see how they feel. A few weeks ago he rucked a half-marathon in very cold weather, and had to cross several creeks. Ankle-deep water/mud/slush. Anyway, the boots were fine and I suppose he got cold, but by the...

We ordered Garmont boots from https://www.uspatriottactical.com/garmont-t8-nfs-670-tactical-boots-with-ortholite-insoles No idea if the price was competitive, but the service was A+

This post is absolutely outstanding. Thank you!
