    Experimented with Marijuana after Appointment (What Will Happen?)

    I think Christcorp nailed it. The OP is probably just reaching out to as many people as possible hoping to find a way out of this hole they've dug.

    Adjusting to the Sea

    I knew quite a few people in the Navy that were from Missouri, Minnesota, and other mid-western states and they all adjusted to life at sea as well those that came from coastal states. You'll be fine. Most people get seasick at some point early on in their first tour of sea duty and then...

    Traffic Accident/Ticket

    On a side note, too many traffic violations, no matter how minor, can have an impact later on in one's career. I remember being questioned during a screening interview about my 2 speeding tickets in the previous 6 months. They were both for going only 5-10 mph over the limit, but I was told...

    USAFAPS Appointment for 2014!

    My DD recieved her TWE last week, but like so many others is holding out hope for a prep school or FF scholarship offer. I was wondering though, does a candidates congressional district have any impact when prep school and FF scholarships are handed out? ie could being from AZ-06 help or hurt...

    When to Schedule Appointments

    My DD received her DoDMERB instruction letter today and I'm not sure whether she should schedule the exam right away or if she should postpone it. I know you normally want to complete everything in the application process as soon as possible, but in her case I'm thinking it may be better to...

    Updating NASS application?

    From the application instructions, "ONCE AN APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED, GRADE INFORMATION, TEST SCORES, AND EXTRACURRICULAR PARTICIPATION CANNOT BE MODIFIED OR SUPPLEMENTED."
