I wish we knew where we sat…

My DH went to KP when you could still get a dual degree and he loved it. He worked as an officer but loved his training as an engineer and would say it helped his career. My DS is sad they don’t allow that dual degree any longer.

Us too! My DS is very excited!

So we just did a thing. My son just committed at KP!

Any thoughts on protocol for accepting at the Naval Academy if you have already accepted your Plan B as another service Academy? If it’s a regular school, it feels like it won’t be as hard as turning down another service Academy when we’ve already accepted.

Congratulations! That’s a great acceptance. Unfortunately you won’t be able to plan these kinds of things. Your vacation has to be around their schedule - they won’t change for yours. Part of going to a service academy.

I tried to look on these groups and there’s only one I could join and the others are for already accepted candidates. Any groups suggestions that will allow a pending candidate?
