During my 20 year military career I've known dozens of women who graduated from service academies. I don't think I've ever met one who thought of themselves as a victim, or ever looked for a "pass". In fact, if anything most of them I knew had to work a lot harder than their male counterparts...

Thank you so much for the offer, I really appreciate it. My daughter has it worked out, so we are good. I think I was more stressed about it than she was. Not easy being this far away and trusting them to handle all the logistics on their own. She is far more organized and independent than I...

She is flying 2 Dec and returning to TN on 4 Dec. I think we are going to go ahead and use Uber. That seems like the best route this late in the game. We should have checked on the trains earlier - lesson learned about the transportation issues. Will definitely remember for future trips up there...

Sorry for reviving an old thread. Took the advice on here and talked to admissions. They were great and now she is able to stay in the barracks (dorms?) on the night of the 2d with one of the softball players. We thought it would be easy for her to take a train from the Hartford airport, but...

Thank you auxnoob, I really appreciate the help. Will also take your advice and contact admissions to see if they have any suggestions.

Our daughter has been invited to CGA for an overnight on December 3rd. We (her parents) are currently overseas and our daughter is attending boarding school in Tennessee. When I looked at the schedule, it seems like the events start pretty early in the morning. My question is, has anyone had...

No more 46's in the Navy (been gone for quite a while). As far as V-22's, I think the navy is going to use them to replace their c-2's, but I don't think that will start until 2018.

Thank you for your responses. Extremely helpful. She is looking at USMA or USCGA (the only two with softball programs), but after reading a lot of your posts I realized that you might have the best insight so I posted the question here. As you said, I think we will know by the time she would...

NavyHoops (or anyone else who might have some insight), How do athletes handle the uncertainty of getting into an SA when they are being offered scholarship opportunities from other D1 schools but are asked to verbally commit? Our daughter is about to go into her senior year, and it is...

Thank you for all the input. She will definitely apply for all available nominations, and based on what I've been able to figure out it will be in my HOR state.

Thank you for all the help. She is definitely not an emancipated minor (although I'm sure she probably feels like one being so far away). I appreciate all the responses.

I apologize if this question has been answered before; I did a search but was unable to find the answer. I currently work for the U.S. Government in Gabon, Africa. Because there are no adequate High Schools here, my daughter is attending boarding school in Chattanooga, TN. Myself and my wife...
