    question on USNA waiver

    hopeful, we had the same experience. Ds received the USNA nomination from our MOC, he is green deficient. We thought he would receive a remedial from DODMERB to take the FALANT but instead we received a letter saying that the USNA did not approve his waiver, he was unlikely to be qualified for...

    Waivers, is my understanding correct?

    Now that my son has received his nomination to the USNA should we expect them to move on the waiver? He needs to take the FALANT.

    Waivers, is my understanding correct?

    My son has been medically qualified for USAFA but dq'd for the USNA. We know this is due to his deficient color vision. Am I correct in understanding that the waiver process begins automatically and we wait for the USNA to request he take the farnsworth lantern? I'd guess they would take...

    Homeschooling family finding our way...

    My son is a senior in the thick of applying to SA and ROTC. He has also been homeschooled his whole life. We've done a few things to make his application competetive. 1) he is enrolled with an accredited cover school, he is not getting a 'mom diploma' 2) he has taken dual credit community...

    Another color blindnesss question...sorry

    He is hoping for an appt to Usafa or USNA. If by some miracle he gets two then he will make a decision. SUPT-FC is a familiarization course. The purpose is to introduce cadets to as much of the UPT experience as possible. In no way did i mean a condensed version was equivalent to the...

I didn't tell him or remind him to.do any of it, he...

    Another color blindnesss question...sorry

    I've been reading these forums for over a year. Ds has talked to all kinds of people but we're learning there is a lot to this process that you can't know until you just do it. Admittedly I am somewhat overwhelmed. Getting my oldest into her college of choice was easy. She applied, they...

    Another color blindnesss question...sorry

    You aren't offending me, you are reminding me about what is true. We are obsessing over the eyes because we know the resr of the package is competitive. Is he a shining star who can expect an LOA before Labor Day? No. But he isn't a slacker either. Sometimes we are fine with the restrictions...

    Another color blindnesss question...sorry

    Too much conflicting information out on the Internet. My sin will be asking these questions of admissions personnel but they are all very busy and taking a while to answer questions. My son is green deficient (deuteranomalous trichromat for the initiated). He cannot do the ishihara plates to...

    Newbie DODMERB question/color blindness

    Thank you!! That really clears some things up for me. I've gotten one child into university but the SA and ROTC process is infinitely more complicated and a whole lot less forgiving.

    Newbie DODMERB question/color blindness

    My son is 16 and has dreamt of flying for the USAFA since he was a little boy. He is doing everything 'right' to achieve his goal of an appt. Great student, dual credit classes, community service, CAP C/Capt working towards that Spaatz, staffed 3 encampments, COS, CTEP instructor.....every...
