<p>I am an accepted candidate for the Class of 2010. I was wondering when USMA email addresses get issued. (It's sorta a facebook thing... lol)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>haha, you can put your current one then edit it when you get your new email address. i think they give you the new one after beast.</p>
<p>what about ako?</p>
<p>You will get your address when you are issued your computers after Beast during Re-org week</p>
<p>but I want facebook!!!</p>
<p>haha...my advice to you is this: DON'T get a Facebook account...or MySpace...or any of that crap.</p>
<p>You'll waste countless hours just staring at other people's profiles, scrutinizing them for any changes since yesterday. I don't care if you're gonna be at a Service Academy...you'll do it. It's a huge waste of time.</p>
<p>I've had one for a year (I'm a freshman at UW) and it seems everytime I'm bored, instead of reading or doing something constructive, I end up on Facebook. It gets addictive.</p>
<p>When I get to USNA next year, I intend to close my account and not get another one.</p>
<p>If you want to keep in touch with friends, give 'em a call on the weekends and chat for a while. Email them pictures every once in a while. But DON'T let yourself become a "Facebook whore."</p>
<p>quick word of advice i was given about facebook or myspace on my overnight visit. Dont put anything too excessive about getting into/going to west point on it! A few people i had talked to had ALREADY did a quick search to see which people seemed a bit to excited on facebook/myspace, and i dont know about you, but i dont think any "extra attention" plebe year is going to be needed!</p>
<p>yeah...like that kid wpcadet.com</p>
<p>that kid got p0wned because he was stupid. there is difference between putting "usma '10 hooah" on your myspace and starting a whole dang website where you talk about DODMERB disq'ing you for hemmoriods. FOR CRAP's SAKE? hemmoroids? hahahahahaha i know people who got down syndrome past MEPS. anyone stupid enough to put down "possible hemmoroids" on a..... forget it. just thinking about that makes me angry.</p>
<p>lol, wow explain that one to your friends :). Myspace definently wastes about 50% of my free time. Dang you Tom.</p>
<p>serious- some chaplains assistant had down syndrome. but he did his job well and really did something meaningful with his life. how he got through basic and AIT? or hell, even MEPS? beats me.</p>
