As you know, nothing is guaranteed but I do think you have reason to be very hopeful. My DS is now a yuk and was a re-applicant who received a nomination from his senator. The senator said he respected that DS got back up and was trying again. He even made a point of chasing him down after the...

Echoing sheriff3, the answers are yes and yes. DS was contracted with a 4 year AFROTC scholarship. He is now a plebe at West Point.
