@scoutpilot; Quite frankly, my brother had the right [and apparently, academic and athletic talent] to pursue what he had, at the time, thought was his dream. If a kid didn't get a nomination, perhaps they should have put more effort into it. Really, I don't think anyone who can't earn the...

To respond to the earlier posts.... Yes, I am happy. Yes, it is selfish. But my being happy isn't changing his decision - and he hasn't "given up." When he called he wasn't crying and saying, "I miss you guys and the dog and my girlfriend... this sucks. I'm coming home." He was very calm and...

I just got a phone call tonight at about 9.... my brother's coming home. :D

@CPT; Haha yeah, I wasn't sure what to expect... my brother's not much of a writer, but still. And he's at USMA as well. :) @KP13; Lol okie-doke... which academy is yours at? @Tucker; That I am. [Or was - got my rejection from USMA several weeks ago.] I'm waiting for one from my brother.

Thank you so much. And I have gotten started, I was just looking in the wrong place for this. Thanks again.

Haha this is true... thanks.

Haha those are awesome. Will have to make some for my brother. And just_a_mom, your cadet won't get in trouble for getting musical cards? Must send one of those too then, just to drive him insane. :biggrin:

That is a good point... something to definitely keep in mind, since I generally pick up and hang up on numbers I don't recognize. lol
