Hey guys, I've been quiet for a while, not quite sure what I was going to do after I received my 3rd LoR to USNA. Well today I got a call! I will be class of 2019 at the United States Merchant Marine Academy! Thank you guys for all your help and congrats to everyone in and good luck to...

I was just recently accepted into the aeronautical engineering program at CU Boulder as a transfer student and I might be heading there this fall (if I do not get accepted to USMMA). I was doing some research and I happened upon 2 and 3 year NROTC scholarships and I don't really understand the...

The mailbox stalking ends today with receipt of my very own TWE #3. Thank you everyone and I hope everyone the best at USNA this year. I'm still waiting to hear from USMMA, I'll be a Naval Officer yet. There's an African proverb that says "Smooth seas do not make the skilled sailor", if I've...

Seems like an unnecessary question.... Did they give you a deadline to complete it by?

Buy bubble wrap, and I believe included in your BFE will be a short list of items you MUST memorize before IDay, but nothing to lose sleep over. Navy ranks, President down to Speaker of the House including SECNAV and CNO, just basic stuff. Congrats and good luck!

Filling out apps to other colleges is hard. I'm still in the game, but I just have almost zero motivation to go anywhere else..

I guess that's new to the TWE.. I looked at my first TWE and it gives no indication as to how many MIDN there would be in the incoming class.. I can't find my TWE from last year, but I remember it being the same letter. Sorry to hear about it though.

Nothing in New Mexico. I have a group of friends applying and the first question we ask when we see each other is "anything yet?" And the common response is "nothing yet".. Good luck to all lurkers tomorrow!

Presumably.. I called my MoC liaison today and asked how many had been appointed from their slate. He told me of the 20 nominees(2 spots at USNA to nominate for), 5 or 6 had been offered appointments. There's only one posted here from NM, which means at least 4 or 5 don't know about or don't...

It wasn't until I said this to my GF that I realized how true it is: stalking and posting to these forums and hearing from everyone has been helping my sanity. Sometimes it feels like the only news I can hear at this point is bad news, but then I read through these posts and remember I'm not the...
