<p>Didn't Annapolis start yesterday?</p>
<p>Astrodude11,</p>
<p>It actually doesn't stand for anything. It's a thing with people who are overly excited about something, particularly gamers, trying to type "OMG" but in their excited state, when they attempt to press the left shift key, they sometimes press the Z key also. Thus, "ZOMG" was born and basically means the same thing as OMG. I've always pronounced it as "zoh my gosh!"</p>
<p>Triggs,</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.usna.edu/PlebeSummer/%5B/url%5D">http://www.usna.edu/PlebeSummer/</a> plebe summer for Annapolis is this Wednesday, June 27.</p>
<p>Ok, guess not.</p>
<p>thats funny specterz, what will you kids think up next haha. the airforce academy started yesterday on the 25th. poor zoomies had a shorter summer than we did...</p>
<p>USAFA starts on the 28th
USNA starts on the 27th
USMA starts on the 2nd</p>
<p>Saving the best till last? ;)</p>
<p>It is because everything at West Point got pushed back a week for next year. Meaning that Beast, the academic year, Christmas leave, and graduation are all a week later than in years past.</p>
<p>And for all you incoming new cadet: don't be so excited. Beast isn't meant to be fun. In fact you might be in for a surprise. But, really, it isn't that bad, especially in the whole spectrum of the West Point experience. Have fun in your remaining days of freedom.</p>
<p>My Junior year starts on the 2nd. The year that will determine if I get into USMA or not.</p>
<p>Holy Cow! Only 4 days left.</p>
<p>I'm leaving tonight, at 11:30PM Pacific Time and I should arrive at around 12:30PM Eastern Time (I'm leaving early to see New York City and such while I still have time- I've never been there) So yeah, see you guys on the other side?</p>
<p>Wow...still surreal though huh guys?</p>
<p>GO ARMY!</p>
<p>Sure thing, see you on R-Day!</p>
<p>I'm leaving from Witchita, KS at 7:00am CST, so that means I have to leave my house between 3 and 4 am on Friday morning. I have a layover in Chicago and then fly into Newburg. Anyone else flying to Newburg?</p>
<p>I'm flying into Newark around 4:30pm on Sunday. I'm staying in a Sheraton at the airport, then taking a bus to the Academy in the morning.</p>
<p>k-sarge,</p>
<p>You won't think too many of those cows are holy after Monday. :D:D:D :eek:</p>
<p>lol nice MOT</p>
<p>Anyone staying at the Sierra Suites in Newburg?</p>
<p>LMAO...Nice one MOT, didn't even think of that while typing. So I'm leaving my house in like 15 hours. Man this is weird. 3 days left.........</p>
<p>Some families have started arriving, but the town is still a bit on the quiet side. The weather is cooler than the horrid heat we had yesterday and there was no rain today.</p>
