    CVW Dilemma

    When my dd attended her interview with our moc they were impressed that she had visited the sa and had spent time with a plebe. She told them about her experience and I'm certain this helped her secure her nom.

    DoDMERB and asthma?

    My dd was in a similar situation. She is a recruited athlete for xc and track. She was dq'd and later was granted a waiver. One of the things that helped her is that she hadn't been on a inhaler for a year and her dr reversed his diagnosis of athletic induced asthma and wrote a letter to that...

    Americans tune out as Afghan war rages on

    I commend TPG for keeping his legs off to show the severity of the situation in Afghanistan. As a w-c user myself I find your comment insulting to all disabled people.

    Not competitive enough?

    Not sure which sport you play but if the coach decides to recruit you that could be your edge. Recruited athletes have a separate admissions process.

    The weakening of Beast Barracks

    I'm guessing that every sergeant handles the nc's differently. My daughter has been highly complimentary of her sergeant. She says he's extremely generous and gives them plenty of time to eat and gave them 90 minutes to bond in barracks one night and he has even given them candy. Today we got an...

    Shabby conditions of Barracks

    This post isn't sitting great with me either. My dd is currently at beast. She did 2 overnight visits and didn't complain and so far hasn't complained in her cards home. Uf has older dorms without ac and that's FL albeit north Florida. The worse is the roaches. I'm hoping they aren't the...

    When my dd interviewed with our moc she was told her nom could only be used for 1 academy. Your state may be less competitive but in FL you didn't have the option to apply to more than one school.

    Strength of school impact on class rank?

    My dd was accepted as recruited athlete. She wasn't in the top 10 percent of her class either. Athletes have a separate admissions track and if you are deemed competitive and a coach wants you you're golden.

    My dd was a recruited athlete. She was injured her junior year and wasn't on the coach's radar due to this. November of her senior year she pr'd at the state meet and then recontacted the coach. Once this happened she was urged to finish her application and then things moved quickly. She was...
