omg it’s so rare to see an active channel who posts videos like these especially as a girl i’m 16 and i’m thinking about west point and it’s so inspiring watching these kinds of videos plz make more!!!!!
Nice video. Even with all the changes USMA is a very special place and cadets/classmates are the best. I'm one of 3 grads in my family ('56, 80 and '93). I got married there in '97 and my Dad is buried there. Still love the place. Take advantage of every minute you are there, because it may seem to suck but it's really a gift.
Very informative and cool video. Please do another one. My 18 year old son is now a WP plebe this year. He just finished Beast a week and a half ago. Can you give tips on how to manage your hmrk and time management?
Not a real answer for your question but allow me to say "when you find yourself sinking academically seek help from the faculty ASAP." They are there for you. They will help. I was hospitalized a long time and I had Instructors visiting me daily. They are not like regular college professors. Most are military and many grads themselves. They want you to succeed and will bend over backwards to help. Most cadets were superstars in HS. They don't know how to ask for help because they never had to. Until I figured that out I was skating on thin ice. Don't fall into the same trap.
@@clarkbarrett6274 I just read your comment. Thank you so much. My son is doing good. He needed help for the English class and have met with his professor who he says is an amazing professor. Thank you for your tips. We really appreciate them and agree that they are there to help. Have a nice thanksgiving!
Hey do you have any advice for anyone at West Point hoping to venture into starting their own channel ? For example any pointers as far as ideas for videos, and managing your schedule to be able to make videos edit them while also being consistent. Anything would be great 😊.
I usually make videos on West Point based on requests. I think that it would be doable to make and edit consistent videos here if one didn’t have many extracurricular
WOW!!! At 80 years of age I just ran into this presentation and y questions are, when did beast year change? I thought beast year was about passing classes AND knowing the defiñition of leather and sitting ramrod straight at meals. When did this all change? Rooms decorated as if they were civilian dorm rooms. Were these changes made before women were accepted to the academy?.
Good video! Congrats! My daughter got a invitation from West Point but she is afraid that she will fail the physical test. Any advice or suggestions? Really appreciate if you can give us some. Thanks
West Point let’s you have flags in your rooms? From what I’ve been told is that the most personal things you can bring with you is maybe your cellphone and a tooth brush.
🇺🇸 My son got the nomination for July. I'm more nervous than he is. Mostly about the 8 yrs after graduation and possible war. How do you handle the 8yr commitment and thoughts of going to war? Thanks.
Really cool video! What are your answers to those questions? Also, why did you personally want to pursue Army over the other military branches? ALSO also, I subscribed :)
What is one thing that you could tell yourself a year ago? Don’t stress out too much, you are far more capable than you think What is one thing you wish you brought to beast? More/better socks What is the worst thing about being a plebe? I didn’t mind being a plebe, but probably not being able to talk outside What was the worst/hardest plebe class? EV203/ DIRT was the hardest for me, it wasn’t difficult I just didn’t do very well. What do you wish you did differently this year? I wish I would have got more involved first semester with clubs and with my company more, just making stronger relationships. What do you wish you knew when applying? How did you prepare for beast? I ran 4-5 miles 3xweek and biked 20-25miles 3xweek and also did the prescribed workouts for preparing for beast. What was the best part about plebe year? Making new friends and making weird memories! I don’t really have a reason for why the army over the other branches. I did Army ROTC last year and it kinda just fit.
I recently recieved an appointment from West Point into the class of 2026 and was also accepted into other civilian schools. What does the West Point experience offer you that regular college does not? Nice video though :)
it offer so much more! Opportunity, experience, and a great career afterwards. Coming from a civilian school, this is definitely a challenge that is worth it!
@@Bmoore295 There's no real break. It's a day or two to get settled in academic year barracks, draw books and start studying. Also getting to know lots more upperclassmen!

Just got in yesterday. Do it. 100% worth
@@Wayward_Jericho how do you do it😭😭😭
@@Jvlerah a lot of patience and a little bit of caffeine
@@Wayward_Jericho dude😂
but like fr I don't think I'm good enough
I'm a junior and not sure what I should do to stand out
@@Jvlerah What is your current SAT score? Try to practice to get a high one. Also focus on your academic and athletic success

Definitely a great video Parker :) it helped a lot to have well rounded responses to each question .

@@ivi122 No problem. You have a great holiday season too. But first Beat Navy.
We were there in West Point last Nov 18-20 as my daughter got invited to shadow a cadet.
Thanks for this video ! I'm going to beast next week and the information was very helpful!
I am enjoying your videos and It is a good experience for those who want to attend West Point.
Im gonna be headed to beast in a few weeks and appreciated this tons. You’ve given me lots of peace and great advice!
Heading to West Point this summer! Class of 2026.

i was wondering if going to a military school would increase my chances of getting accepted into west point.
This was SO comforting. See u there in june
Are you also in the incoming class this year?
great tips, thank you. My son will be a member of Class 2025.
My 18 year old son too. He’s a plebe now
@@ivi122 your cadet is from which company? My son is I-2..were you at A-Day last weekend?

When you 1st visit West Point Academy to tour the school, do you have to take the CFA exam there while visiting?
God is good.
no, it’s usually just a tour of the campus and just going through what a cadet usually does in a day
Good video! Congrats! My daughter got a invitation from West Point but she is afraid that she will fail the physical test. Any advice or suggestions? Really appreciate if you can give us some. Thanks
Hoping to see my son, but I will settle for seeing one of his good friends, Kyle Bryce!! Thanks for the sharing
Hello am from Nigeria can a foreigner go to west point and become a us army after graduation?
I head to WP in 12 days much appreciated
West Point let’s you have flags in your rooms? From what I’ve been told is that the most personal things you can bring with you is maybe your cellphone and a tooth brush.
Did any powerlifters and weightlifters do plebe year and lose muscle? Or do they allow u to lift and have rest days?
Its more difficult for international students to get to west point or for american students?
I'm surprised they don't have tv show showing the life of West point cadet
Stamps? Can't they use email? Geez. I know they have to toughen the plebes up but damn. Tough means no computers?

That's the stuff, CDT Zoe! Run and TAKE SHORTER SHOWERS!!! May sound silly, but that is very important!
How can I join west point even I am from Asia?
Is it true that after you graduate, you can buy out your 5 year active duty and 3 year reserves enlistment period for $100,000?
not sure about that, but I know it’s more of you leave after you affirm as a Junior
@@ParkerTrysThings Thank you! It certainly doesn't sound right to me, but my niece's boyfriend swears that is what he was told.
Highly unlikely. Maybe the NFL players - but probably not. (USMA '93, Defenders of the Free)
@@clarkbarrett6274 Question, after Beast, do you immediately start classes, or do you get a break?
@@Bmoore295 There's no real break. It's a day or two to get settled in academic year barracks, draw books and start studying. Also getting to know lots more upperclassmen!
Great video, great advice (Rob, C-3 '73)
See you at West Point. Just got accepted
Congratulations!
2:13.... I may not be up to date on regulations, but WTH is with that ponytail hanging out of her PC?????!?
Are you limited to the amount of OPP’s you get ?
during covid we did have limited OPPs, but under normal circumstances, OPPs are given to anyone, even plebes, every weekend. but we have to be in uniform off post
Policy Letter 8 grants 1st - 3rd Class Cadets unlimited off-post privileges while not authorizing them for 4th Class Cadets.
Let's hear from Taylot Puglisi!!😜
Well done. Thank you.
“Tries” is correct.
More WP videos!!
Good video!
God help the West
They all look like future POW’s
Hi again
You can have diversity or meritocracy but not both
Do you know the president of the class of 2024
Not personally
Sorry, but not one of you look like a warrior to me. You look like if someone said something about you you would break down in tears.....
