“I’m gonna play some Xbox”
*grabs ps4 controller*
😅
I know, my gamer brain hurt from that big dumb dumb.
They don’t actually have time for that and don’t know the difference.
@@suesmith9321 It’s just bait to get more people to apply😂
I wish I could have gone to West Point. Free tuition, room and board, meals, exercise, and you have the enjoyment of being yelled at if you are into that kind of thing.
Well not only in west...Here in my Country if U've cracked The entrance, Passed the Interview and are declared medically fit in the Army Test...We are given cadet Life as free meals, stays, Education not to forget Sports and Pt.., And many more ..✊🏻Along with the officer like qualities which are inculcated during these 4yrs of training..
Honestly the “getting yelled at” stops after the first summer prior to your academic year. After the first academic year things really loosen up and the real stress just comes from having to manage time between academics, mandatory intramural sports and drill practice.
All that said leaving with a degree and having 100% job security for the next 5 years without crippling debt was amazing. Also with that said, the 5 years was how much you owe the army/taxpayer for all the “free” stuff over the 4 years as a cadet. A pretty fair agreement though.
If you paid attention in school, you could have easily been with us. Sorry guy.
I enlisted airborne and I would have loved to play football for the black knights.
@@TheBeefSlayer fun fact: army football players get a special exemption to the current policy on height and weight regulations. Unfortunately after the football season of their senior year they have to return to an acceptable bmi standard by the time they graduate so they still can’t make their linemen be the same size as a cornfed center from Ole miss haha.
I use to work in the mess hall as a server,I really did like that job,I had the cleanest station in the mess hall
no messy for Johnny.
The 10yrs experience I had in the Army I found the best officers are the ones who were enlisted and went through OCS to become commissioned officers.
OCS '95 true dat.. .
I was green-to-gold. I agree.
Hi can I ask u
served 27.5+ years and as a whole it depends upon the CHARACTER of the officer you served with. worked with rotc officers, academy officers, direct commissionees and ocs and in that entire time had seen good, bad and "ugly" officers. it is more of their UPBRINGING and their attitude
@@afg3643 OCS Ft. Benning 68 I agree also
I always wonder about my brothers at West Point hoping one day to visit. My father provided dignified transfer for Fallen U.S. Army West Point Soldiers in the Vietnam theater. I am so proud of all of you there.
Though I never went to WP, I was there as an interested candidate back in the 80’s getting a tour. Back then elements of hazing were still in force. I was an eyewitness myself of that hazing. All that has gone away in place of placing more emphasis on academic studies which is a time consuming process. Anyways, though I wanted WP, I settled for an ROTC commission. I know some ROTC graduates who were denied entry to WP like me become Generals today and are still in the Army.
I was a member of the Class of 1964. We had reveille at 5:45, then breakfast .We went to class from 7:30-3:00 with a lunch break. On Saturdays we attended class from 7:30 till noon. We studied 8-9 subjects from math, physics, astronomy, english, chemistry, one of 5 languages (Russian...the hardest), Spanish, Portuguese, French, or German), and PE. The only elective was language. We calculated we had the equivalent of 28 hours (vs 18 in civilian colleges to graduate in 4 years. We studied 5-8 hours daily. Upperclassmen took great pleasure in occupying your time for 1-2 hours a day. As plebes we normally got only 3-6 hours of sleep each night as our rooms had to be inspection ready daily; I actually fell asleep on my feet occasionally (well, we all did). If you fell asleep in class your prof gigged you with 8 and 8 (8 demerits and 8 hours walking the area...which you did during your off hours in the afternoon or on weekends. We had athletics from 3-5 pm and parades almost every Saturday. Sunday we had church and then were free. Upperclassmen harassed you a lot at first but let up as the year went on. Life was a lot easier if you beat Navy (esp in football). Navy's QB was Roger Staubach (he won the Heisman Trophy and starred for years with the Dallas Cowboys) who beat us 4 years straight... But recognition (being accepted into the upper class ranks) in June made it all worth it.
what did you work as after west point
Friggin cancer. Imagine talking sh about NK then you sleep deprive your most valuable students who needs it most (because of learning, duh) and put infuriating mAnDaToRy stuff befitting the celebration of Kim's second nut anniversary.
My father was WP, class of 1959…
All of you guys who expected the West Point experience to be 4 years of boot camp need to go touch some grass. Is this a military college first and foremost? Yes. Is this still a college? Yes.
I'm going to west point after high school because everyone in my family went there, well some did the other join the army or join the other branches.
How old are you?
Sorry for asking
@@mihailgeceski4945 you're good, I'm 16 so 3 more years to go
How tough was it for you to get in
What time is hazing
sorry for this question, for the games like hockey and football can you wear pt uniform or must wear ACU?
Depends on what they uniform is for the game usually OCPs (ACUS)
@@nne4264 thank you because I have been to football @ West Point and I am retired Army I was just wondering if that was a no go because I just wanted to show some Army Pride. PT was strange on Active Duty you were allowed to wear off post
I used to deliver there. Back when UberEats was affordable.
Looking forward to work with your kids General (first wave of all)
I really want to attend this school and become an artillery officer. What classes should I take and what programs can I do like air assault or army airborne. Or there is a artillery course I could take.
You should take ap classes and you have to have a high SAT and ACT score and be in a varsity sport
Thank you for the comment also I wanted to make sure I finish the academy 4 years into 1 year.
do you have hazing in West Point? Man in my country our cadets live and die in hazing!
It’s funny how they paint a pretty picture I’m guessing there that desperate mainly for their athletic program but me I would love to Have the opportunity to get education there PT good meal tradition that the American dream for me
We had a bully at high school who used to pass wind into the cup of his hand then use his hand as a gag. He went to West Point and I always wondered if he continued to do this?
Sound like some Rake Yohn CKY shit
@@Marcus-zo6kf No, his name was Troy McAllister. He was a senior at Oyster River High in NH. He would sneak up behind you and do this.
He'd probably be beaten up by the upper ranks there
@@Whatthehuhs I hope so, the guys wind smelled dreadful, and his hand over your mouth and nose meant you had to breath it in.
Looks like a great school
Sir,,,is a surname certain Serbian
Tv cadets series 50 yrs ago
We believed sir meant poser fk head.😃
Most powerful West Point of The World.

Do you need to take Math courses all 4 years in west point?
Thanks for your question. It really depends on your major. If you have a STEM major, expect to take math or some math heavy courses each year. If you major in the humanities (English, international relations, etc.), you likely will not have math heavy courses your senior year, but you will still have some your first three years.
Soo.. Strict Military College/University
I’m definitely planning on going to West Point to serve my country, if I get admitted, that is
Is boxing obligatory on west point?
Yes. I am a current Cadet at West Point. Boxing is a mandatory class you take during Plebe Year.
west point is kinda like the seminary but military style
How about free 2 a point give back 5 yeqrs of service time
Its seems like study time all day
❤
Football cancelled due to weather? Who ever heard such. Were the grounds covered in snow? Was there a Tornado?
Where the part about doing blow on spring break?
Practical

Am West Point cadet ama (May take awhile to respond)
How was the nomination process?
@@RoadToMan Got into the West Point C/O 2026. My nomination process involved many applications and interviews. There was a preliminary application for my two Senators and my representative. They then shift all the applications that have a "shot" at getting in and send them to get interviews in front of a board consisting of military officers, enlisted members, etc. The largest board I had to go in front of consisted of 10 people. They all ask you a couple general questions and some questions specifically based on your application file. Best advice I can give for the questions is to know why you want to go to West Point and make sure it is a good reason. They'll know if you truly don't want it. I also applied to the Vice President, but almost no one gets that; about 10 out of thousands. After all of my interviews, I received three nominations to West Point and two to USNA and USAFA. If you have anymore questions just let me know, I'll be happy to share.
@@RoadToMan it sucks a lot less if you live at home
@@bosef9727 lol thank you.
how do you get the interviews or recommendations from the senators and representatives? just email them or is there some application?
To be a westpointer is a veryhard task decision, move first bedore you obey, in school your armaments is ballpen. Case studies and other subordinates and are more concern , how i wish i am there working with you...just wishing...but dont ever forget who ever leave their post and ready for battle, you carry the law of engagement, once they shoot shoot back.and if you are assign to other assignment you know that there is no turning back. What you see in the battle are the barrel of wine you left behind. Your oath is worth it if you accomplish your task in the battle, configure yourself as a bullet and your eyes is your armour. purpose will never revealed unless you cry for yourself...our mental capabilty are trained and our body absorb it. Wherther we win nor we lose .... you will be a brotherhood of your task a brother of insult for them but a brotherhood of justice and brain of solidarity and loyalty to your oath....cary on...airborne
Not the west point I attended.
What West Point did you attend?
@@Crusade6539 dude went to east point
Me a an enlisted marine “oo oo ahh ahh” and other monkey noises
How can the poor inteligent Filipino student enroll here?
Seems easier to just quit
this is a military academy.. it just a boyscout training compared to the environment on philippine military academy and philippine national police academy
Maybe. But West Point is a world class university accepting only the best candidates (academically and physically) in the country with the goal of turning out the best and brightest officers they can produce. Most cadets who graduate will do so having completed air assault and airborne school. After becoming 2lt's they will then have the opportunity to enroll in advanced training throughout their career which may include Ranger, and Special Forces training which is not "boyscout training" And here's great thing - there is an academy exchange program - if the Philippine Academy has qualified cadets, they might be able to come see for themselves what its like.
Don’t think the Philippine military academy has 200+ years of tradition and excellence behind it
LMAO do not compare the two. One is elite and respected the other is just stuck in time and crap
To be fair, this guy also is not going to be a frontline officer. He's obviously some sort of backend support specialist.
This is not the caveman age. We don't win wars because we're physically strong or tolerant of hardship (not saying these are not important though). We win because we have the better system, technology, and resources.
“What’s Up?” 🤣 uh huh….technically, you’d be pushing in the front leaning rest for a long time!
Oops…I mean, it’s cool to be relaxed. Remember to keep it real Bro!

That’s awesome
This seems whitewashed a bit. All smiles, eating, recreation time, flag football, with some studying and classroom thrown in, eating again, casually strolling all around, and you can totally ignore the lights out rule, because... well just because you feel like it.. Sounds like High School with a uniform. Is this really the average day in the life? I call BS on this.
I am going to be the first Transgender officer to graduate from West Point!
Pretty sure there have already been a couple, but congratulations nonetheless and thank you for your (future?) service
Why anyone would do this shit is beyond me
Good education. Free meals. Discipline. Time management. Mandatory Fitness Training. Same College as General Eisenhower.
It pretty much forces you to become a Demi-God.
What would you do
To move up the ranks I guess
This is not preparing future officers for war, it looks like he's going to band camp.
Bro he showed the day in the life of a computer science major lmao
@@nate__6871 I know lol.
This guy is pretty obviously not frontline leadership. He's a back end computer specialist officer.
@@redengineer4380 exactly
@@redengineer4380 That's the attitude that makes you lose wars, when your rear end computer specialists get taken hostage and don't have the stomach for hardship. He needs to learn basic warfighting before he learns computers. Anyone can do it, so there isn't much excuse.
It looks terrible
What a weak training
The Corps has. West Point is complete woke garbage today.
So after you and your friends somehow all get the same grades on your calculus exams, you get to go on spring break in Florida. And it all at the taxpayers expense ;-)
You have no idea what you’re talking about
U mad bro
I think not reporting cheating gets you in trouble. So even if you try to cheat, you’ll get your ass kicked. These students are very disciplined.
