<p>...another DVD in the mail today. This one introduces you to the leaders of West Point (Generals and cadet staff) and gives you a peek of whats coming. Pretty cool, although they cut the mike when the upperclassmen are giving the kids an earful on R-Day... just something else to look foward to :)</p>
<p>Yeah I got that DVD in the mail today too and just finished watching it. Oh man- it's almost here. Before, I was all gung ho about going to West Point, but now that we leave in just a few weeks, I'm getting nervous. Hopefully I won't let anyone down, especially on that wall climbing obstacle (where they had to hoist each other up to climb the wall and pull up the rest of the people). </p>
<p>By the way, futurewarrior, what's your reporting time? I got to be there at the crack of dawn (6:30am). It's gonna be a LONG day lol.</p>
<p>Can someone upload it :D</p>
<p>I knew we would get to throw hand grenades, but I didn't know we would get to shoot an M203 :)</p>
<p>I think Paint Rounds only...but yeah, range week's a BLAST! Wear sun screen.</p>
<p>spectrez,</p>
<p>I have to report at 7:30. I know what you mean about getting nervous. You don't really know how well you prepared until show up.</p>
<p>Everyone reporting after 6:30 is lucky, the upperclassmen will be warmed up by then.</p>
<p>Someone please upload it to youtube ;D</p>
<p>You have got to be kidding! Anyone one this forum should have a better understanding of law and ethics than that. Uploading a DVD to an internet site without the express written permission of the 'owner' is illegal.</p>
<p>What a great way to start off at USMA!</p>
<p>Yeah and besides- when you become an accepted candidate like the rest of us, you'll probably receive a similar dvd. just relax and smell the roses.</p>
<p>Sierra you're such a tool!
Yes I am sure the US gov't will come at full force.
And even if it is illegal, they are not trying to make profit off of it and I challenge you to find the copyright sing on the disc or anywhere else, or something remotely similar that will hinder you from uploading it. </p>
<p>You act as if jaywalking is a felony or you will be get life for not putting on a seatbelt before you start your car.
Chill.</p>
<p>Why are you calling someone a tool? Do you realize how degrading that is?Maybe YOU should chill out and wait until YOU get in to see the DVD. All the 2011'ers on here have worked their butts off for four years to get in. Maybe you should consider the video as a little treat for those who have EARNED it.</p>
<p>I do wish the DVD was longer. Overall though, pretty motivating!</p>
<p>See you all on 2 July!</p>
<p>I believe the little treat is actually getting in to the Academy.
Many people don't know about the Point like we do, maybe it will be wise to spread the message and attract more minds.</p>
