Can I drive my POV to USADSA? What is the day-to-day like at the Academy?

I was just DA selected to attend the USADSA and received my Welcome letter and other forms via email. I'm nervous but also extremely excited and was hoping someone could tell me what to expect during the Academy. Can I drive my POV? What is the day-to-day like?

Yes- you can drive your POV. If you have any other questions either contact the DSDSL that emailed (if not the ATRRS letter) or check our milsuite page.

Hey Brother, I graduated June ‘18 when the “Conversion” happened. I’ve since extended and am on my 3rd year on the trail. I wanted to come back to the Academy per your invite but had too much time as an E7 (DLI ain’t a bad place either). I just wanted to extend my deepest appreciation for the level of intensity and devotion you’ve embodied throughout my attendance. I was picked up last year for MSG and it’s largely because of the example you set for me and that class. Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, I wish you nothing but the best. You’re what this Army is all about. Got me a pair of aviators too. ‘TILL THE END!

MSG (Join to see) great to hear from you! Sounds like things have been well.

I’m glad I served as a positive influence and I appreciate the kind words!

Continue to do great things and please keep in touch brother. Congrats on all your success and I wish more to come to you in the future.

We were permitted to drive our POVs. I would definitely check in with someone to make sure nothing has changed. The USADSA DFAC is closed on the weekends. The alternate DFAC is across post. A POV comes in handy in that aspect. Again, check in with someone first.

Thank you so much. I'll definitely contact someone at the school house just to make sure.

You could when i was there. But that was a few years ago now, and as we all know things might have changed. The day to day was not that bad the worst part was the SF2 (i think thats the right name), those classes were a complete waste of time that we could have put to better use. Again this might have changed since i was there. We were at completion of POI able to go do normal people things as long as we stayed within the 250 mile radius. The hardest day was the last module for me other than that there is nothing tricky, hard, or un-obtainable about the DSA. If you have more questions i have a new DS coming in a few days from the DSA i can ask him for more up to date information.
