DVD Reviews of National Geographic - Surviving West Point
DVD Review: Knowing what to expect
Summary: 5 Stars
Our son is entering West Point this Summer. As parents we are curious about what to expect, what will it be like? This video series answers many questions. It is a few years old (2001), but based on discussions with current cadets very accurate. So many little questions about what to expect on R day and A day are answered, not only about what will happen with the 'new cadets' (pronounced by everyone in the video as one word "nuca-det"), but you can see what other parents chose to wear for clothing. That may seem silly but it is a question the parent of an entering freshman has.
The video covers a full year and shows athletics, scholastics and the military training required. Because the filming happened to be during the 2001/2002 school year there is a full episode about September 11.
I highly recommend this DVD to the familiy of anyone entering or considering the USMA. In fact I recommend it for grandparents too.

I bought this for my 15yo son who wants to go to West Point. He really enjoyed it and it was a good source to show him what is going to be required of him. I think anyone considering this path should get this.DVD Review: Incredible!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is an intense review of the first year of a cadet's life at West Point. I would recommend this to anyone who knows of someone interested in attending this school.
