<p>I am a member of the Class of 2008 at West Point. I think it is a great school, and a wonderful way to get a great education, save some money, be a part of something special, and give back to our country. You will learn much about yourself and improve everyday. If you want to learn more about the USMA, you can check out my website at <a href="http://www.brendanmosher.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.brendanmosher.com</a> . It has my personal journal, (includes Beast Barracks) pictures and even videos from the academy.</p>
<p>Nice site. I'm from the Hudson Valley as well.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, what is the rule on mp3 players? I wouldn't expect to have one during Beast, but are mp3 players allowed during the academic year? Recently, I've found it useful to study by making audio notes that I play back to myself on my iPod. Just wondering if I could do similarly at West Point. Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, cadets are allowed to have portable CD players...I'm sure mp3 players wouldn't be a problem.</p>
