No.  Not going to happen.\n\nWest Point has over 20,000 applicants per year.  Only 1000 or so are selected.  Those that are selected are connected by blood or political donations to those who are allowed to go.  \n\nWest Point is where we make our Generals.  I don't think this is right, I don't think this is fair, but this is how its done

I assume you've asked your parents and any surving friends or siblings of your grandfather? If you can find out the name of his division, then you might be able to google for an organization of veterans of that division. They might have pictures.

Find out his branch, unit, theater of operations, and years served.  Then research his unit and try to find it on the web.  I am in the process of doing the same thing.  If you need help contact me via e-mail I may be able to help a little more if I know the specifics.  monkeyshine39@yahoo.com

Well since you are not at WEST POINT (USMA) you are not going to get a RA commission (REGULAR ARMY) you will get a RESERVE COMMISSION (99% of new officers get these so no big deal ) and since the DEMS won and will likely take back the white house and the coming withdrawl from Iraq, you would do well to take somethig you like and something to fall back on-I am a civ employee on McChord AFB and some RIF's(reduction in force- military version of LAYOFF!)have happened to at least 2 LT's here. If you are going INF and planning on going AIRBORNE that degree might be ok for a "HOOAH" lifer ,but if you think the army will be a SKATE job ,wait til you are competing with decorated VETS for the few active slots left after a 7 year $100 billion dollar war and a dem government-good luck!

I was a female in the navy for 4 yrs. I learn a lot and had great fun doing it. The freinds you make in there last forever and it is a different kinda friends too. More special I would say. I got out in 96 and still talk to a few of my closer friends. As far as jobs no it didnt help me in a way, the job I had was an operational specialist. radar, navagation, and that kinda stuff near the bridge of the ship ( top ) If I had it to do over again I would make sure that the job I got was one that would trasfer to a civilian job. Which mine didnt. But having been in the Navy looks great on resumes.I will never regret my choice to join. What an andverture. traveling was the best. Singapore, Guam, Hawii,Hong Kong, Germany, Persian Gulf, Dubai let alone the states. I would strongly recommend if to a female for sure, specially if you have no outlook for college or anything like that. Cause I didnt even want to think of college.. So I hope you choose what is good for you and have fun doing whatever it is that the future stores. Best of luck to you

try google, classmates.com, reunion.com for starters.  Also try the white pages, that also is a good source.  My First Shirt from my first duty station located me via classmates.  I hadn't seen him since 1980.

Navy mom here. First----((((BIG HUG))). Next, you need to learn the Navy Mom mantra. Probably applies to all military moms--No news, is good news!. Unfortunatley, it's true. \n\nHe should have, but is not guaranteed, been able to call you the night he arrived at RTC (Recruit Training Command). There are a variety of reasons he might not have been able to, so don't worry. And I know, it's hard not to do. Since you haven't heard from him, you can call (847) 688-2405 and give them his full name and social security number. They won't be able to let you talk to him or get a message to him, but they will tell you he's arrived and what Division he's in. Once you have his Division number is, you can then got to the website I've posted under sources below and get his mailing address. \n\nYou'll probably get your first "real" phone call about week 3. But again, there are MANY variables to this including who his RDC's (Recruit Division Commander aka Drill Instructor) are. Your son may be doing quite well, but if someone else is messing up, they may all lose phone privileges. I know. It's not fair. But...\n\nBe sure to check out the other information they have at the website, including Pass in Review (Graduation). You will be able to watch for the date of his PIR on the website too. If there is ANY way you can go, then go. I promise it will be one of most moving experiences of your life. Start making plans now to attend.\n\nI can NOT stress this enough. Start writing him ASAP. Send as often as you possibly can. It's doesn't matter the length. A few lines on the back of a napkin is like gold to them. But don't try to send him any type of care package. It won't be allowed.\n\nShortly, you should start receiving a few things. One will be a "form" type letter from him with his address. But you can beat the letter if you call for the Division number. You should also receive "the box" any day now. The Navy is the only branch that does this and it can be heartbreaking. It will contain every stitch of clothing he was wearing and anything else he took with him. I sat down in the middle of the floor and cried like a baby when our son's came. Then again, he will be given the option to donate his clothes to charity so if the box doesn't come, don't let it worry you.\n\nYou may also want to check out navymomsonline.com. They are a SUPER group and will give you all kinds of support and information. \n\nAgain, I can't stress enough to write, write, write. And when you don't get much back, try to remember that they are only allowed to write on Sundays. \n\nTake care of yourself and try to remember that your son has given you a very special gift. He made you a Navy Mom. You may not understand it just yet, but the day will come when this new honor will touch you to the center of your soul and make you weep with pride.\n\nNavy Hugs.

I went over in 64. Came home in late 65.You should start counting in 65 when the build up started. The first big numbers was when Hal Moores Air Cav. got shot up at L.Z. Xray. Then there 2nd. Battalion got shot up even worse by walking out to Albany. The brass really screwed the pooch on that. They could have been air lifted out of X Ray but the brass wanted them to march to L Z Albany. Nobody ever explaned that. There were big numbers them couple of days. Hats off to the 7th. Air Cav.

First of all I assume you are young, using a term like IP. That is so old school and hardcore private. This way of thinking.... is Ok to a point. Yes, watch your ass at all times and rely on your squad. Yes, there are issues with the IPs..... but try to soak in the fact that most of them are just people trying to get along and make the best of it as they have had to deal with crap all of their lives...... which americans dont.  Soak in the experience..... and be thankful. And by the way, save your pay so when you come back you will be set.... don't blow it since you are there.

I am an Army officer that was commissioned through ROTC.  It has not hurt nor helped my career.  I feel that everyone has made an assessment on my performance not on what school I attended.  I have met both great and horrible West Pointer, ROTC cadets, and OCS grads.  I think there is very little difference at least through my present rank (captain).  This may change as I progress or perhaps the differences are a thing of the past.
