Stephanie> I just PM'd you Stephanie... I just sent you a PM

Sorry to see him go... We will be sorry to see CPT Srinivasan go. He's been very helpful through my DS's 2nd time around. I guess this is fairly typical as it is the Army afterall. If they need him somewhere else, he goes! Good luck sir!

Woo Hoo!!! Congratulations to all the appointees! I'm especially excited for 17TexasMom's DS :thumb:

We posted at the same time 2013hopeful and I added to the list at the same time... both in the #45 spot. Anyone handling the "master" list?

Got the Call! I got the call from our MOC's office this morning! Congressman Sessions will be tracking my DS down this afternoon to give him the good news! I assume the BFE will arrive today or tomorrow'ish here in Texas. The 2nd time around is as exciting as the 1st time. Our road has been a...

Such an awesome sight! Seeing all those packets is a visual reminder of what a monumental task Admissions embarks upon each and every year. We should all be grateful for the hard work and dedication of that team to ensure another strong class of West Point cadets will be joining the Long Grey...

I just ordered my copy online! Can't wait to read it ALL!!:thumb:

As I look back on our 2-year journey through this process, I am reminded of a favorite quote that sums up the whole experience... "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and...

Our MOC's Service Academy coordinator and a LT. COL. (retired) USMA grad came to present appointments at our DS's senior end of school assembly. They do this every year and it is quite a memorable experience. MY DS decided his freshman year that he wanted to go to a service academy after 6...

Thanks BigNick! We are excited to be a new West Point family:smile:

Regarding the bubble wrap... wish I could figure out a way to do that. DS is currently in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A & M and is a member of a special Ranger unit...uggg. He told me the other day that he competed in a O-course competition this last weekend. We've already told him there will...

I can honestly say that the support and encouragement that we have received on this forum was so helpful. The drama of an injury is bad enough. Losing the appointment 2 weeks after receiving it was heartbreaking. Not getting the waiver in time for R-day 2012 was extremely tough. Watching the...

Thanks for the info. I'm already member of the West Point Parent's page on Facebook and have just requested membership to the Mom's page. DS received a letter last Saturday that his file (he has an LOA) has been approved and to expect his official appointment in the first wave of packets...
