Thanks you KP2001!
Navigating through this process, even for a third time, I am amazed at how much contradictory information exists.
Question - I gave my son an online D-15 test. He did it quickly and mixed up two adjacent colors. I am not sure what the pass/fail criteria is or if this is a...
I verified with USMMA that he needs to pass BOTH Falant tests and that one does, indeed, test for depth perception. The medical office there also said that this situation is more common than people think.
We will attend the recruiting visit this Thursday. We will then go to Hopkins next week to...
I'm trying to get more information. The operative information for now is the final sentence where he suggests DODMERB and USMMA coordinate before giving a DQ.
I want to share a few things I have recently learned.
This from the Health System Administrator at USMMA...
Candidates are evaluated medically by The Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DODMERB). Currently, they use the PIP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_test)...

DS#1 DQ'ed from USNA for red/green deficiency after completing application. That's when I wised up and gave the Ishihara test to all of my kids. DS#2 passed, DS#3 failed, DD passed.
DS#2 admitted to USNA Class of 2020
Unexpectedly, DS#3 is...
DS just received call from Rep Hoyer's office notifying him of his nomination. LOA received, so offer of appointment should be arriving shortly. Congrats to all. Go Navy!
Very helpful thread, esp with DS coming from an ultra-competitive district (MD-5). Sounds like we should not be surprised if my DS does not top any slate even with his LOA. In fact, he is the third candidate from his HS with an LOA, although one is apparently set on going USAFA.
Correct. The MOC informed him of his LOA which was confirmed after the interview via the candidate porthole. Hopefully, this makes it more likely that he will be on a slate. Difficult in MD 5th district. I heard that DS's high school had 24 applicants to USNA.
This is our family's second...
DS received notice of conditional offer of appointment today during his interview with congressional staff (second of three). They received notice of this before us so it came as a nice surprise. Confirmed on the admissions site.
