Does anyone know what the guidelines are for retainers over Plebe summer? My DS does not have an "orthodontic plan" as referenced in the PTR packet and has had braces off for 5 years. He does, however, wear retainers at night and has since braces came off. Should he bring these with him on I-Day...
You can print a standard form. Just search for "Tuberculin Skin Test Standard Form". We printed one out and had the Dr. just transcribe the info. I believe it does have to be documented on a separate form giving the Lot # of the vial as well as date "placed" and date "read". Hope that helps.
Spanky58ggpt...Thanks for the advice. I know it will be a long day (but incredibly short 20 min. after the oath) for all of us. I am very proud and I can be strong!
Thank you so much for this valuable advice! So many things to think about before I-Day and these posts are exactly what us new Plebe parents need. Hoping to be supportive for my DS without being too emotional. Any tips for how to keep it together?? I didn't think this would be too much of a...
2012mom? Thank you so much for your response. Very well said. DS received call from MOC last week informing us of appointment. Still awaiting BFE. Very excited but somewhat nervous (DS is fine, WE are nervous!). Reading your post was encouraging. Looking forward to a wonderful experience at USNA.

Thanks. DS's BGO and another BGO from the area had different information on the "scholastically qualified " question which was my reason for the post. He has cleared Dodmerb and passed CFA at Summer Seminar but we were told that he would get a letter from admissions directly stating he was...
Glad to see this thread. Waiting IS very difficult and it is nice to see others in the same boat. DS's application was complete by the last week in August. He is very competitive for admission based on stats and was "full steam ahead" following great experience at Summer Seminar. He has heard...
Have any candidates for the Class of 2016 received letters from USNA that they are "Board Qualified"? I have seen in previous years that these letters had been sent out prior to LOA's and/or appointments but haven't seen mention of it this year.
