<p>*no idea about showers
*variety of food is served, with PLENTY of milk…if you get there early, you might score chocolate milk!
*depends what time of year you send things; sometimes are busier than others
*teams recruit from all over the country…check the team out at [GoArmySports.com—The</a> Official Web site of Army Athletics](<a href=“http://www.goarmysports.com%5DGoArmySports.com%C2%97The”>http://www.goarmysports.com)
*most cadets bring their own bras, sport or otherwise</p>

<p>In addition to mom3boys -

  1. you will not be showering with the men. during the academic year your shower will be private. during Beast - you will little time to get a lot of new cadets showered. Out in the field there will not be a shower. thousands of women before you survived, you will too.
  2. as m3b said - LOTS of milk, as well as gatorade etc.
  3. email the coach!
  4. NO. they are awful. bring your own.</p>

<p>good luck to you!</p>

<p>The showers are communal</p>

<p>I really liked the food at the summer program, not sure if it differs during the school year</p>

<p>And yeah if you get all of your stuff into them early, you hear back much more quickly.</p>

<p>snazzy,</p>

<p>Are you a junior right now? If so, consider applying for SLS, Summer Leaders Seminar. It will give you a chance to “test drive” the showers and food, along with getting a peek at classes, physical training, and military academy life.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>yes, i’m a junior. i’ve already started to open a file at west point. i did the initial information and have been waiting for the email with my user name and password to start my application to come. the moment that i get that, i’ll start my application and SLS application.</p>

<p>These are valid questions. And this is a proper place to ask them expecting answers rather than criticism.</p>
