Oh, too bad! Thanks for the reply though!

How did they do? Oh that is too funny! Say "hi" to Philip for me :smile:

Norwich RC Team Rocks! We can’t wait to hear from our son on how Norwich did! We are so excited for him – he was one of only two freshman chosen for the team and he was placed on the “A” team (don’t know correct terminology). Nevertheless, we are so proud! He loves RC team - so glad he’s at...

Thanks. It does help. Thank you both for your replies. It means a lot that people are out there and we are not alone in this pursuit!

Sad news. Well, I joined Service Academy Forums in May 2010 and have been reading, reading, reading . . . this is my first post. And I am so sad to say it is because we received the letter today. Our DS has not been accepted for class of 2016. Yes, he has a plan B in place . . . but it's a...
