Thank you everyone!!:thumb: Guess I have some phone calls to make. Ended up putting deposits on plan B and C. Plan B was out of state and we started thinking that if he was medically turned back he might not be able to use his AFROTC scholarship there, and we wouldn't be able to afford the...

Now that BCT is coming to an end, and A-Day is within sight, when should we be contacting the Plan B school that DS will not be attending? I thought I read somewhere it was after taking the oath... or after Jacks Valley...but I wasn't sure. Thanks!

Thank you Dad and Wishful! What a day! Dad, thank you for your contributions to this forum! You, usafa2012mom, and SO many others are so helpful and encouraging! I have, and will continue to, learn so much from other parents like you! I'm enjoying following everyone on this amazing trip...

Thank you, mom!! It is unreal and we are so proud of DS! Your story is awesome!! That's exactly how it should be! My DS runs XC and I can just picture the running and huffing and puffing! Too funny!:shake: What a great memory!!! Unfortunately.... My DS is out of town on his Senior trip-...

I know, hon. It's so hard! But, if things are starting to move then that's good! Hang in there!! :thumb:

Looks like things are starting to move! DS received an email this morning saying he has a message on his portal. The message said he was offered an appointment!:jump1: SO exciting!!

Holy Cow... you guys are AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much! This forum rocks!!:rockon:

We thought we read somewhere that there was a particular date that once you pass it you cannot be turned back (not sure if that's the correct terminology) if you get injured. We are trying to finalize a backup plan and one of the colleges require a new student conference. We are not sure which...

Wow! We didn't realize he could nominate more than one! So if you just have a nomination from the VP (but are not the "one" charged to him), plus you have an LOA... Then that can be your pathway in??!! Assuming you are qualified medical, CFA etc.??

I understand the VP, most of the time, has just one vacancy to nominate for- but I was wondering if he could nominate multiple people for a single vacancy, but have only one charged to him - and the rest would go to the NWL?

You got a PHONE CALL??!! I'm SO jealous! I got a brief text.... But he did said "I'm so excited!". And that's just the first day! :thumb: Got the call! Brief... but he's loving it!!
