    What a Joke

    Agree with IceMan and TakeMyAdvice. This is not the end and no school can determine how far your child can go. We are anxiously awaiting our son's presumed 3rd rejection since we have not heard anything yet. Briefly, he applied as a senior, congressional nomination, before 1st rejection joined...

    Reapplying and Plans

    Losttime, you are absolutely right all is not lost and this is not end to your quest to become an officer. Let USNA know when you reapply that your choice for Community College at this point is strictly a financial one, you are in essence supporting yourself. You will be fine.

    Struggling Girlfriend

    Facebook page ia a great idea. My son is a reapplicant who is now enlisted USMC. When he was in bootcamp almost 2 years ago, there was on Marine Parents a place where mothers could commiserate!

    Blue and Gold officer question

    NavyPops - is it your child reapplying? I would ask for a new Blue/Gold Officer. My son is also reapplying, this time as enlisted. And not sure whether I agree with who you know as a deciding factor. I think maybe better just high school teachers and/or coaches for recommendation.

    Got the TWE

    I was not aware that BGO could share or even be privy to the information that you were deemed unqualified 6 months before you received official notification from USNA. And don't ever give up hope - more than one way to achieve your goals. Good Luck!
