<p>I heard that BEAST was going to be extended a couple of weeks next year. Anyone else hear this? If so, what is being added?</p>
<p>I haven't heard of it, but if they do it, I'd suggest more time in Jack's Valley.</p>
<p>I don't see it happening...Beast is sandwiched between sports camps and summer seminar in June, and the start of the academic year the first week in August. It also has to align with each of the three week blocks that make up the summer for the upperclassmen.</p>
<p>We have heard rumors of that happening down here at the Prep, although I don't see it happening for the same reasons Gasdoc mentioned.</p>
<p>Agree with the Doc too.</p>
<p>I don't know how much this means, but it's already in our calendar starting June 25, ending August 1.</p>
<p>They have expanded Beast at West Point. In fact they have expanded all summer training and compressed the academic year.<br>
Beast this summer is 8 weeks from R-day to Acceptance day and classes start two days before Acceptance day.
Rumors are rumors but if they really want to do things they will find a way.</p>
<p>I haven't heard anything of it.</p>
<p>Lackland is changing enlisted BMT to 8.5 weeks, starting this fall.</p>
