West Point R-Day/BEAST 2023 Tips and Advice| What to Pack, Daily Schedule, and How to Prepare 

of course, good luck this summer!

Same lol, ill be seeing you

@@diedie865See y’all there! 🫶

I’ll see you there

thanks man, best of luck!

Glad this video was of help and good luck to your daughter!

we appreciate it!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

No way haha keep the legacy going!

Thank you! Yes, I recommend bringing anything they would want but not need at BEAST on A-Day if you can make that trip.

I definitely recommend around 12-14 pairs of underwear (trust me you will need them). As for socks depends on whether you use the issued one as well, but I’d say around 8 or so of each type

Congratulations on the appointment! Definitely invest in those good socks and boots, again I emphasize buying the Garmont T8 NFS boots if you don’t have them already. Also, buy some moleskin to help with those blisters if they keep happening as well. Good luck

Thank you. And thanks for making this video! The boots I’ve had were recommended by a friend who went through it too. I’ll break em in, but if it doesn’t get better, I’ll try the ones you recommend (If I have time lol)

Appreciate it! I bought the Bates low quarters and almost a year later they are holding up great and have no blisters/uncomfort. Here is a link to them, a lot of us wear these www.galls.com/bates-leather-uniform-oxford?PMWTNO=000000000002078&PMSRCH=

ayy thats whats up! southern strike battalion ftw

We use North Face backpacks, they’re very nice and they give them to you for free at the beginning of the year

definitely buy the green, good luck this summer!

Laundry is very iffy during beast, we didn’t get laundry done until the 2nd week or so. But short answer is not often. The cadre will take the cell phones while you in-process on r day, and no one that I know of lost a phone. Thank you for the support!

appreciate it‼️

You can transfer all together yes

definitely look into any leadership positions in the clubs/sports you are already a part of. Also, work hard on your essays and interviews. They matter much more than people think, so make sure to talk about personal experiences that have shaped who you are and avoid basic answers that don’t make you stand out. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck!

Took my son two years to get accepted. He doubled his push-ups and that made a world of difference. Don’t slack on your fitness test.

Do the cfa exercises a lot. Workout hard and often.

@@jtf1957Accepted!

I have worn the bates leather oxfords since R-Day and they’ve held up well, i’d recommend them

I recommend just using black socks that you use for boots and running shoes yea

you won’t need to bring it to r day yeah, bring it after

appreciate it, and yes they should be fine they will not check underwear for logos, only socks are checked

Yes, they can bring one with both lens but you can only use the red lens during beast

Thank you!

pocket sized for sure, it’ll come in handy since you can fit it in your pant pocket

congrats on your son’s appointment to the prep school, i didn’t attend prep but i would assume that they should pack similar things as a lot of the training is similar

we’ve got a vlog coming before the semester ends‼️

a lot of people ranger roll their clothes, there are a lot of videos already on youtube that show how

Thank you

check in the description of this video, they are called fox rivers (first link i added in the description)

congrats on the appointment! Every year someone usually leaks the roster in the class group chats, you’ll see it a couple of weeks before r day most likely

@@jtf1957 for clarification I haven’t received an appointment from West Point (yet, hopefully) but I’ve received one from Air Force, but thank you. I was also curious about how much you get to write back home?

@Bquiz77 during beast you can write home every night if you want, there is no limit

you can yes but i recommend getting a watch that can set an alarm clock. Also the cadre will be your alarm clocks too lmfao

@@jtf1957 got it, thanks!

I recommend something like this bag. www.amazon.com/adidas-Defender-Small-Duffel-Black/dp/B087LNQLG5/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=IXK6B3CWT7JN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rAGT7OCWEZxWoAVgAwcIRNjb-_bNeXSkIAmdfRFbq1m6l2rHYtNEV9dR1t8FfK4aZi0Sc_b5AxWt1YpTRsgbpFz4gCz0CLRvyvnVQLxb_ZNHe2v72ddQd4fj-k0kHdMmHP-q9uLzldPGxsIwNF-bWAnHEJusrmC9xPkpYb_w8fXEt1TnSUUUM3x5Un2IwJ4xyGQIbp2L2pm-HtBg5paduxCQdT5yPJF4aKsjXBzstavyr7BiVaM7PK0oWJkCnaekKGtifJ_4lUDr-yO2qvQExig-DaOser1eGXJ-b8AMokQ.CeKzHzMklsuJMRhUixvDUS9qZdSHKrJkONE2JX-ZSFA&dib_tag=se&keywords=mid+size+duffle+bag&qid=1715102656&sprefix=mid+size+du%2Caps%2C222&sr=8-3

good luck at beast!

Hey, so I am not familiar with the process for international cadets to be admitted but I will say definitely focus on getting as high scores as possible on those tests so you are ready to do well in the curriculum here. Plenty of my international classmates do really well so study a lot and you should be good!

@@jtf1957 Sure, here is the translation of the French text into English: Thank you so much for this beautiful message of encouragement, it gives me even more hope. I know that with God, nothing is impossible for those who believe. May God bless you.

May God bless you as well good luck!

you won’t have your phone for all of beast (6 weeks), but after that its all yours

yes, you can have your own gaming console as a cadet, but technically not until your sophomore year. Also, yes! You can gain admittance to West Point as an international cadet, I would start by contacting the U.S embassy in Italy and asking them about the process

@@jtf1957 like:Join,one year go home get your nerdy stuff and show how Much do you love videogames to your company XD (JK)

they usually leak a couple of weeks before r-day, so it should come soon. join a class of 27 group chat and i guarantee someone will send it there

it varies by class and what state you are from, but cadets make roughly around 300-500 per month

they will send out the official packing list in the next month or so, i think we got it in april
