What are West Point rooms like?

[@annajanestraka938]

The guitar thing is so true! I'll be watching tv and my roommate will sit on the couch and play her ukelle and sing. It's the worst

[@onemercilessming1342]

Anna Jane Straka--Just wait until you're in your first few apartments. Those walls are paper thin and you get to be entertained by all the goings-on in the units around you. You'll know a lot more about your neighbors than you ever thought possible.

[@finleythegolden2909]

You deserve a million subs. When I found your channel I thought you had hundreds of thousands by the quality you have. Keep it up and I can see your channel blowing up.

[@melissae8480]

This makes me feel better about my E4 barracks room here at West Point......

[@Jcasta19]

Melissa Susan how are the rooms for enlisted soldiers stationed their ?

[@terragthegreat175]

@@Jcasta19 not an Army E-4 (i thought the same at first, don't worry) but Company E, 4th Battalion, one of the cadet units at West Point. It's denoted "E4".

[@dibiasemizcena26]

Love the way you do your vids! Short and sweet yet funny and filled. Good luck with what's coming next for you. :))

So i am daydreaming and staring out the window at the Cadet Chapel. It is beautiful. A cow on the yard yells up at me to get my mug out of the window and wait right there. I wake up from my daydream to the horror of knowing my weekend will be spent in dress marching off hours. I quickly locked up my box, squared my bunk and waited two hours for an upperclassmen that never came. Such as life for a plebe. And i wore a garrison cap. Alas i am truly grey now.

[@corhydron111]

Fun fact: I go to the university program in Poland that educates most of our official interpreters (it's very likely that this interpreter went to the same school as me) and I know from experience that 99% of what we learn in our interpreting classes is how to keep up when shit hits the fan. Interpreting consecutively is relatively easy compared to simultaneous interpreting. I suspect she didn't even break a sweat interpreting this.

[@erickelly7630]

I like your channel. It gives me a chance to see how much West Point has changed/stayed the same, over the years.

[@xdc5fjjfjghjgfhfriks]

I-1 Was I-Rock when I was the Tactical 87-89. We were initially in Sherman, then moved to Lee. You have great videos that get to what it's like as a Cadet. Keep up the good work.

[@thearmsman4661]

Nice to see the "Green Girls" are still used. We slept on racks with the metal suspension. Everything else, pretty much the same. I wore the old garrison cap! B-2.

[@kjvstreetpreacher]

In Beast i used a laundry pin to try and pull my bunk tighter, steel racks........that went over like a lead balloon. ( God i thought those days were terrible at the time, now i smile when i think of them.) Great memories.

[@davidfryer4353]

I know I'm a little late to this but why is the President of Poland riding in a Chrysler 300 when he could be riding in that Honda Odyssey? Does he have something against cupholders?

[@paulmattt]

2:05 Kosciusko is also a big guy in the States! Just look how many Kosciusko counties we have. Not to mention a bridge in NYC!

[@bigjohn697791]

Yes my old school in Ireland still has parts of it that date back to the 9th/10th century (time of High King Brain Boru)

Love the new content.

[@thearmsman4661]

Is Tony's Pizza still around? They made great calzones and beat a walk to Ike Hall.

[@seansmith2116]

For some reason I,m going through the comments and decided to answer a comment from 7 months ago but anyways Tonys is still around I went yesterday.

[@geodes6722]

Tony’ Pizza was in the basement of the old First Division back in 1974.

[@maggiedoesthings]

They actually just closed:/// my dad and I went up this past weekend. We went there all the time when my brother was a cadet. Sad to see it go:(

[@henrymiller2295]

I know this is super late, but was that Timelapse from the beginning filmed in Iceland? I swear I’ve been there.

[@christinagiagni3578]

the guy from poland who helped build west point was thaddeus koskiusco

[@mikey9836]

Do you need to bring your own computer/laptop or do they give you one or something?

[@Justin_Taylor]

You receive one there.

[@mikey9836]

Justin Taylor thank you for the answer and is it any good or would it just be better to buy your own?

[@benwestphal9625]

Hey Justin Taylor, I’m a sophomore in HS, looking to apply for the USMA. My mom is always on my ass saying how I need to do volunteer hours in order to get into it, if I have the minimum to graduate is this okay? Or does West Point genuinely care about the community service hours?

[@yoloboy18]

Its not something that they ask for on the application, but it is something that you can mention in your essays.

[@BuddyCooke]

"A" BAG drawer!??? What, only one drawer has to follow BAG? Man, Corps has. "War Tuba" glasses?? Please tell you play tuba in the spirit band

[@Justin_Taylor]

Whole room has to be set up with BAG just isn’t referred to as that. And no. Just had some under the table connections.

[@seringmodoujaw7048]

do you have to live in west point for your years or you can live in a private accommodation

Hey man what was your ACT score?

[@compresgaming1064]

Those halo books though

[@lanegra1140]

Where do you put your regular cloths

[@Justin_Taylor]

Usually in our dressers or trunks. There's also storage under our beds or in certain cabinets.

[@dubs9979]

that interpreter is crazy

YES drop the quarter,and bounce,But your didn't bounce lol,🐾♥️🐾♥️🐾☘☘

[@charlesbatkin9783]

Hey, how the hell do you make your bed against the wall?

[@Justin_Taylor]

either move the bed or move the wall first but usually the latter is easier

[@charlesbatkin9783]

Justin Taylor wow, every day? Also, cheers for the fast reply mate. On my second application (technically third) as we speak.

Where u from in arkansas?

[@Justin_Taylor]

Central Arkansas for the most part.

[@markiethompson8889]

I really want to apply for this school but it's to hard.

[@wisemansocrates]

Markie Thompson thats why you'll never get in.

[@redstorm8373]

Never let the difficulty of a task stop you from doing it. Instead, view that difficulty as an opportunity to make yourself better. Learn from it, grow, and overcome the challenge.

[@memeboi8880]

Markie Thompson ima apply even though i may not get it why not give it a shot

[@npcorangemanbad.1461]

Don’t

[@insaneboarder02]

I said the same thing and applied anyways even knowing i wouldnt get in. I got in somehow and graduated somehow. Its all about trying

[@ussocom3644]

What gpa did you have?

[@Justin_Taylor]

USSOCOM I think I had a 3.7 out 4.0. They look more at class rank though as the important academic factor

[@ussocom3644]

Justin Taylor That's very high, I have a 3.0, so finding a college and getting accepted will be quite the struggle. I always thought how awesome it is for the smart kids that know they will get accepted into any college they choose. And maybe even get a scholarship.

[@franscine1232]

Wait, Justin, are you Filipino?

[@Justin_Taylor]

Unless I've been lied to my entire life, no.

[@alldud13]

how do i get into this? I am currently serving right now and i had no idea what this was when i enlisted Is it for officers?

[@Georgemanzz]

alldud13 yes

[@Georgemanzz]

It’s training future officers

[@Justin_Taylor]

Think of it as like ROTC on steroids and strictly for going active duty. I think if you google West Point admissions it'll give you some good info. Also odds are a few of the officers in your CoC went and could help with that too.

You're at West Point and you don't know who Tadeusz Kosciuszko was? WTF, dude??? Were you not paying attention in US History classes in HIGH SCHOOL???? Weren't you briefed on this before the President of Poland showed up so that you could ask intelligent questions?? This US Navy veteran is appalled. God help us if you're the caliber of military officer to which we can look forward in the future!!! www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/tadeusz-kosciuszko

[@JoeMama-iq8hy]

Your making fun of this guy and you don’t know how to spell the word “you “. WTF, dude ??? Where you not paying attention in ELAR in second grade ???

[@onemercilessming1342]

Juju War 22--It's "you're" not "your". Nor was I making "fun" of anyone. I was pointing out that someone who was being educated at West Point and who was hosting the President of the nation that gave us Tadeusz Kosciuszko was horribly ignorant about his own nation's founding. Now naff off.

[@Justin_Taylor]

I do know who Kosciuszko was, there are a few spots on the campus dedicated to him in fact. It’s hammered into every cadet how important he was to the founding of the United States, however I didn’t feel that going into detail about this was relevant to the video. Secondly I wasn’t saying I didn’t know who he was in the video, I was saying I wasn’t aware he was such a big deal outside of the United States.

[@onemercilessming1342]

@@Justin_Taylor--Then, bucko, you shouldn't have said that you didn't know who he was, which you PLAINLY did. Whatever made you think that a Polish citizen who was one of the individuals who helped the Americans win their independence from the British would NOT be a "big deal" in his native Poland? The Poles, Lithuanians, etc. are proud people and have contributed much to this country. They are respected here as well as in the land of their ancestors. Still unconvinced? Try the Marquis de Lafayette. He was instrumental in winning American independence and he is a "big deal" in France, as well. It would behoove you to know that when our "dog faces" landed in France in WW II, one of them was quoted as saying, "Lafayette, we are here." This conversation is OVER. I am muting you.
