Didn't I read where your son has accepted an appointment to West Point? If so, your son's biggest challenge will be to replace the 15-20 lbs he will lose during Beast. They strip virtually all baby fat off these kids and they miraculously appear with Man Bodies (some look very Auschwitz-like, unfortunately). They then need to start eating mega-caloric diets of good food and hit the weight room in any free time they can steal (which is not very much), but IC's (intercollegiate athletes at the Academies... everything's an acronym in the military) generally get "consideration" when their Coach or Weight Trainer step in. As soon as he's out of "Plebe restriction" get out the Harry&David catalog, and start sending him fruit regularly.

Those that tell you it's a roller coaster ride...? Don't believe 'em... it's a bunji jump!
