Welcome West Point Parents! WPP-NET stands for "West Point Parents Net". This is the net used by our parent moderators to pass "hard news" information to all parents who have an e-mail address in the west-point.org system. WPP-NET is a closed net and the only person who can post messages to this net is the wpp-net moderator. This net operates on a "push" system. We push the information out to you unsolicited as we learn of news from West Point. The WPP-NET website is intended to be the portal for all West Point parents (as your Internet browser home page if you wish), where you can find everything you need in one easy location. If you don't find something you need, be sure to let me know, and our Webmaster will include it if at all possible. CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO WPP-NET

Part III of a Series by Jon Scott: Acceptance Day at West Point |

Jon Scott, anchor of "FOX News Live" weekdays, writes of his experience as a parent on A-Day for the Class of 2011. Writen from from a father's perspective. " Most were 18-year-olds when they arrived at West Point to be molded into officers — leaders — in the United States Army. It's tough work and it isn't for everyone, even for some of those who might have wanted to attend West Point for years. They'd awaken at 5 a.m., take a few minutes for personal grooming and be outside for P.T. (physical training) by 5:30. The grueling conditioning program was only the start to each day filled with challenges, criticism, setbacks, exhaustion and misery. Somewhere in there they also developed pride, camaraderie, strength, teamwork and confidence. That's what helped them endure and even enjoy what most of the rest of us would probably describe as a miserable experience."
