Just received word that I have a nomination to go with my LOA. What happens next? Do I get the BFE?
You will receive lots of forms to complete prior to Indoc. Things like a fingerprint sheet and a form to attest that you've had your wisdom teeth removed or that they do not need to be removed. (The wisdom teeth part is the subject of several threads here. If you haven't had your wisdom teeth removed already, you really should see your dentist about having it done. DS did not have his wisdom teeth removed prior to KP - our dentist said they didn't need to come out - but KP wouldn't clear him for Sea Year until they came out. He spent a Friday afternoon at a dentist's office in Great Neck getting them removed.) You'll also need to obtain a Transportation Workers' Identification Card (TWIC), which can be a difficult process if you're not near a port with a TWIC office.kdbax,
What other mailings should I expect from the academy?
I received my BFE in early December. Subsequently, a similar looking envelope arrived in the mail stating the superintendent recognizes my appointment. Could anyone give some insight on what this document indicates?
Do you need the TWIC before Indoc or before your Sear Year?
Every year there has been a wisdom teeth thread. I'm with Wisconsinmomma, get the darned things removed even if they really don't need to be removed.Wisconsinomma, I think you have singlehandedly ended the wisdom teeth debate! I am sure there is a wisdom teeth thread please add on as you will undoubtedly be called to do so again and again!
