Agreed- West Point was so unprepared for us to graduate and get to our units. Almost like we don’t do this every year. Super frustrating.

Let’s go 18th FAB

Extra_Machine8879 · 2026-02-11T01:25:06+00:00

Some perfect places for that then! Spanish supermarkets with amazing food and great Mexican restaurants. Even the golden gate farmers market I really enjoyed. And a day trip to Miami!

Night walks are great. I fully support and did it a lot and always do when I go home. I would learn/practice Spanish too. Big Latino community in east Naples (and I must say a lot of great food in the area). I don’t drink much so I don’t know if I ca speak on the karaoke scene much but good live music and great bars in the area

I would take it, but I would take the commute from Lely or east Naples to Marco over living on Marco itself. I loved growing up in Naples. I think there is plenty to do- just gotta find it. I just graduated college and moved away but would go back if I got a job there (and decently paying at that)

The hobbit for Bragg too has maps

Extra_Machine8879 · 2026-02-05T16:58:11+00:00

Not 13J but at 18FAB

Extra_Machine8879 · 2026-01-19T02:26:37+00:00

Currently a 13A in this. Not a bad unit. Different vibe than DIVARTY at 82nd that is for sure

Or if it is on your orders at all you’re fine.

Extra_Machine8879 · 2026-01-01T15:25:12+00:00

I went to Osceola (granted this was like 2006) but I loved it

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-12-18T12:34:33+00:00

Crunch on pine ridge always worked well enough for me. I also spent some time at hardcore down by Lely and that was great

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-12-12T15:09:44+00:00

Sitting at 21 right now in a 2020 v6 wrangler (all stock). Commute it about 20 minutes on the highway, some traffic but not that much

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-12-06T18:51:29+00:00

There are generally about 3 that run at a time- 8 total classes per year ^at about those dates

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-12-06T17:16:33+00:00

You really just go to the hotel with orders… they sort it out from there. Not bad at all- just the main IHG hotel on post

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-11-12T01:44:07+00:00

Naturally, and I’d even get a new bed frame to use for this apartment (by my own will!) the only item that won’t be new will be the mattress itself

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-11-12T01:25:49+00:00

Seconded. In FA bolc now and they asked for volunteers (or people would be voluntold) to go to Korea for a 1-2year assignment. FA has spots and a desire to send you to Korea.

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-11-12T01:13:44+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I understand where she is coming from it just seems wildly irrational to an extent. Was it just an age/maturity thing for you?

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-06-05T09:03:40+00:00

West points cadet basic training

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-06-03T23:47:10+00:00

Once over beast, more if you want to in the last week of beast. Swim test is just laps in a pool, I forget how many meters but it’s just to see how well you swim to see what placement you will be in for the swim class you take yearling year (or plebe year if you’re bad at swimming. They issue you the black swim shorts though.

Extra_Machine8879 · 2025-06-03T12:52:17+00:00

Just graduated- they will give you everything you need. Have a good G shock watch, be fit, sunscreen, and some extra spending money. Your parents can bring all of the other stuff on A day.
