Plebe year

<p>My plebe uses a polar-fleece sleeping bag liner to sleep in on top of the bed and then rolls it up and tucks it away in the morning. Nothing in the rules against it and seems to work fine.</p>

<p>I don't know of a single person (plebe or upperclassman) that sleeps under their covers; it's much more convenient not to. I don't know of anyone with sleeping bags, but my roommate and I just use the insulated blankets that you'll take into the field with you. In the morning, you just pitch it into the overhead above your closet. The only exception to this is Beast, during which they make you get under the covers.</p>

<p>Ah excellent- just want I wanted to hear lol.</p>

<p>Oh another question- as I was googling "plebe year usma" or something like that, I came across someone who was talking about their plebe year and all the rules about it and stuff and he said that they weren't allowed to talk to any plebes except the ones in their room. Is it really like that or can you go to a room down the hall whos your classmate in chemistry and work on the homework together?</p>

<p>No no...he means that plebes can't talk outside their rooms. In the cadet area (the halls, between the barracks, on the way to class) plebes can't talk, unless an upperclassman asks them a question. Inside the academic buildings and inside your room or other plebes' rooms, you can talk. After the duty day is over (1700 on the week days, all day on the weekends) you can talk on Thayer Walk. </p>

<p>Study groups are great, and a wonderful way to get a better understanding of what's going on in class.</p>

<p>I didn't break sheets very much at all during my time at West Point. I had a huge, zebra striped, mink blanket that I slept under. Plebe year, I had a jersey blanket from the C-Store. At Airborne school, I actually bought a sleeping bag because the barracks were so cold and slept in that.</p>
