    It's In The "Back Of My Mind"

    BM3 Miller, Sorry it did not work out as soon as you would have liked. Many of us have been following your journey. Good things come to those who wait and especially to those who have your determination. I'd lay money that after nailing prep school, you'll be a lock for the class of 2015.

    Package arrived today. Nice touch CGA admissions! I'll agree that the hand written note was classy. Thanks for the offer of the extra keychain but no need. My begging worked like a charm.

    USAFA vs USCGA

    Both are great options. The determing factor for my son came down to the missions of both branches. That may be something else for you to study up on and consider which mission best fits your personality.
