<p>Is anyone going up early? I'm headed up on the 30th.</p>
<p>I'm going on the 28th, but won't arrive until the 29th- I want to see a bit of NYC before I go.</p>
<p>Are candidates able to visit WP on either Saturday or Sunday before R day?</p>
<p>You could visit right now if you really wanted to.</p>
<p>Astrodude,</p>
<p>Absolutely you can visit on Saturday or Sunday. There will be an open house at the church across the street from the Visitors Center - on one of those days. You'll likely hear about it on plebe.net. If you're with your family, take the bus tour and let them get a feel of the place. Spend some time in the Museum, visit the chapels - attend services/Mass, make reservations for Sunday brunch at the Thayer and just relax. You can take in Highland Falls (won't take long) and eat at Schade's or the Park. They should know where you'll order your pizza after Beast.</p>
<p>k-sarge,</p>
<p>We stayed at the Marriott Suites in Newburgh several times. It's very nice and the staff is used to having guests for West Point activities. For any girls or moms, there is a very nice day spa just a couple blocks away from the Marriott.</p>
<p>We're going up early to do the "cadet for a day" program and hang out in the area. We'll also visit NYC and Cooperstown.</p>
<p>Enjoy yourselves!! The cadre is working very, very hard to get ready for you. ;)</p>
<p>If you're really into military history make sure you check out the museum.</p>
<p>9 days =).</p>
<p>Thanks momoftwins. I'm looking forward to actually seeing the place since i've never been there!</p>
<p>8 days and counting.</p>
<p>Astrodude,</p>
<p>You'll be able to relax and actually enjoy so much on Saturday and Sunday. So will your family. Then Monday it will be, well, not so relaxing. :eek:</p>
<p>Best of luck to you. Have a great Beast!</p>
<p>One week of freedom left!!!</p>

<p>why yes, I did finish those two books <em>shifty eyes</em></p>
<p>uh..I'm almost done with the leadership one, haven't cracked the ethics one</p>
<p>Last Tuesday as a civilian</p>
<p>I'm about halfway done with the leadership one, haven't touched the ethics book. They are so boring.</p>
<p>Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh................6 days left!!!!!</p>
<p>I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, or if any of you would know, but does anyone know why West Point's Cadet Basic Training starts later than Annapolis's?</p>
<p>But yes: ZOMG!!! We're gonna be military folk pretty soon!!! This time next week, though I just woke up now, I would've been awake for 3 hours already!!! AHH!!!</p>
<p>Enjoy the last few days ladies and gents...</p>
