    Recruited for sports

    Recruiting Trips My son is currently being recruited by the track coach at USNA. He is a junior in HS and the coach told him that the Academy will fly him to Annapolis in the Fall of 2014 for a recruiting trip.

    Service Selection Day

    Congrats to you and your DD. My son, who will be applying to USNA, has told me that he would like to serve in Marine Air. Frankly, I don't know what that would entail. Helos? Ospreys? Would you please give me your description of the duties/airframes for Marine Air?

    2017 Appointee Stats for future applicants

    Really??? "No one initially dogged the original poster." Really??? The first response to the OP called him "presumptuous," "conceited," and flatly told him that his stats "aren't that impressive." I'd hate to see if the OP had been "dogged." The poor guy was just trying to help out and...
