Especially when trying to make an omelet

What I love omelets

@@captainkiddd3959 they're epic

Tyler Harmon I’m also headed to beast in a few weeks 😁😁

How was it? I’m headed to the prep school in a few weeks

How’s your West Point journey been? It’s been two years since you commented...

@@BrookeBerghuis Oh wow I can't believe I made this comment way back when. I'm a 2nd semester cow right now, and overall I'm really glad I came here. The covid lockdown rules here are really strict, and today I would be leaving for spring break but that's been canceled - so that sucks. But generally speaking the opportunities for development are plentiful and I've developed a lot since coming here. Some of my biggest gripes with this place include the general workload being too much, chronic sleep deprivation affecting >90% of the corps, and the fact that higher leadership here blames cadets for everything. So as good as this place has been to me it has been equally frustrating. I'm glad I came here but I absolutely cannot wait to graduate.

Hey man, I'm heading to beast this summer as the class of 2026. Could you give me some of your own advice? Thank you!

rip

I’ll hopefully be in the class of 2027

I love seeing that a lot of people are like me and are planning for West Point

@@captainkiddd3959 Same man

@@captainkiddd3959 How's that application going? You should be here this summer if you got in.

Congratulations as a Filipina I am so proud of you. MY daughter is coming to Beast this 2022. this video is very encouraging

Same here!

u did it \m/

Roommate was from Michigan. Typically saw his family at least once a month. Just depends on what’s going on though.

Did you get into them?

It’s okay to be nervous. Like a lot of things the jitters will go away as soon as you settle in after a day or two.

@@Justin_Taylor This might sound stupid but I'm really nervous on reporting to the cadet with the red sash. I've seen stories where people would have to do it like 15 times and I feel like I might be one of those people lol

@@cheesestar467 that’s the easiest part of the day. If you have to do it more than once it doesn’t matter, I don’t even remember how many times I did it.

@@Justin_Taylor Oh ok that's nice. What would you consider the hardest part of R-Day then? I heard that it's a lot of marching and getting things in order.

@@cheesestar467 I honestly barely remember R day. It’s not that bad.

yep

There is a guy in my company, he is prior and he always said that it is a lot easier than BT except that in Beast there is a lot less freedom than later stages of BT.

Nah that’s not really my thing. But yeah everyone does CBT no matter what.

Justin Taylor oh, my bad. So what will you be doing in the Army? Also, I want say I fucking love your videos man, I stumbled upon them after I was appointed into the Prep School, and they have been dope. Lastly, how do Prep School kids get treated once they transfer into the the academy?

yuh

If anything it’s the bugle notes. Why it was sent to your house Iunno but don’t bother memorizing anything.

william hogan I’ve got the same thing. It’s a novel right the immortal life of ...

Justin Taylor I don’t think it’s the bulge notes as it has nothing to do with the army

It's a study in ethics. Meant for future discussion during CBT.

Probably the same as the regular Army

I believe it is that you can have tattoos on all of your body but above your shoulder and your hands. If it shows in uniform it has to be less than 20% of the skin.

Same as the army. Nothing offensive, nothing visible in a long sleeve shirt. That’s about it.

What were your stats (sat/gpa)?

David Gillies class rank was top 1/5, gpa was 4.05, ACT 30 / 1300 SAT

Thats pretty good man. Id say just study hard af for the sat because its a pretty big portion of what they consider

Did you get admitted? Could you share your stats?

I'm applying this year, I'm just going off of everything I've been told by recruiters and staff and students at west point. I got a 1550 and a 4.10 though.

army snipers are enlisted guys, as far as I'm aware, so the answer would be no (if I'm correct)

S. Morgan But what about special forces

I don't know the answer to that question. There is no specific sniper MOS for special forces; the SF MOSs are just things like "Special Forces Weapons Sergeant" and "Special Forces Officer" so idk the details and am not qualified to answer. But other than SF, I have to revise my answer slightly. Wikipedia says that "students [of US Army Sniper School] must be in MOS series of 11 (Infantry), 18 (Special Forces), or 19D (Cav Scout)," which implies that if you're an 11A or something then you're good to go to the school. But the B4 (Sniper) ASI can only be given to 11B guys, not 11A. If you're an officer, even if you go to sniper school, you won't be doing a sniper's job once you get back to daily life in the Army; you'll still be a regular Infantry Officer (at least, as far as I'm aware). If you have a specific hands-on job your heart is set on, go enlisted. They're the guys who get the specialized shit; commissioned officers have a much broader scope of responsibility.

You can definitely enlist then apply to West Point from there.

Justin Taylor wow thanks man. I've always wanted to be a west point Cadet and an Army commissioned officer.

shotcut. It’s a free program. I’m cheap.

that's amazing

ain't it

Alex Carrillo decently

West Point trains cadets to be Army officers. Annapolis trains cadets to be Navy officers.

Where is the navy cadet training located

Just Raid Annapolis.

yeup. You're only required five years after graduating.
