    Changing Account name for Army ROTC

    My husband had the pleasure of serving with Mike Maples several times over his career -- he is one of the finest officers we have ever known. One of the key points anyone who has ever dealt with him will mention is his honesty and forthrightness -- with Mike you get what you see. I think...

    Sibling at an academy

    I can tell everyone that my older son (2008) was called in to the admissions office at USMA last year after his brother applied for the class of 2011 and asked his honest opinion as to his brother's seriousness/intent/chance of succeeding as a cadet.

    Remember 9/11/01

    I was in the surgical suite at the veterinary hospital where I work when the first reports began coming in over the radio.

    Thanks! I already made a ENT appointment for Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully that will settle it. If not, should I speak to the doctor about a tympanoplasty ASAP? (I understand that there may be reluctance on his part since there is no pain/recent history of infection). It is so wonderful to...

    My son had his initial DoDMERB physical at Fort Gordon today. He had chronic otitis media as a small child, but no episodes since 1995. He had vent tubes placed in 1989 and 1994.
