    Disability Question

    Both of these reviews can take months. During the first you will remain on active duty. If the severity of the injury necessitated you would be placed on convalescent leave. All of your medical costs would be covered. If you are found fit for duty and remain on AD that does not preclude you...

    Military Discounts

    Sometimes it's even no cost. I tended to ask everywhere I went when I was on AD. For instance my visit to Mt. Vernon was free. Also both Lowe's and Home Depot have a 10% discount.

    Coast Guard Cutter Eagle to depart on 75th anniversary voyage

    They've got the perfect time to be there with the first days of summer. Very short nights and some beautiful sun rises and sets.

    Sea year transportation

    Ah ok. Yeah that is going to be a tough one.

    Sea year transportation

    I'm curious why they didn't send him through DC instead. It's a 4 hr drive from Norfolk but 1.5 from DC. :eek:

    Cadets are too young...

    CGA Incoming class expected to be most diverse ever

    The way I read it the resources are available to all incoming cadets. The only advantage these cadets will have is that they are getting a special introduction to them.

    Sponsor Notification

    Is there some unique, homemade/craft fair food item you can bring them that's representative of where you live? Although I suppose you might have to be concerned about food allergies.

    ACU Army Nametape

    What it actually says is "hook fastner. Velcro or equivalent." Velcro is the registered trademark owned by the first developer of the hook fastner product, but either the trademarked or the equivalent product will do the job and should be acceptable. This is one place where I don't think any...

    Listing all Siblings on Security Form

    Somewhere in the instructions you should find something about adding additional information. I think there's a blank block at the end of all the questions or you're told to add a page. That's where you'd put the info on the sixth sibling.
