My son, the original layed back guy, finally told me the "waiting" was starting to bother him.........I am starting to think there are very few left who haven't gotten any word from USNA.

Today in the mail, thin letter from admissions, states "You are invited to attend an USNA Admissions Forum" in our locale. This is an opportunity to meet and talk to admissions people, faculty and midshipmen and learn about educational opportunities provided by USNA. I must say I am confused and...

For those who have current mids, when do you actually get to have your child come home during the year? I assume Thanksgiving and Christmas, but do they get to come home during Spring Break? And do you get to see them before they depart for their summer cruise? I do understand coming home is a...

How do you actually know if you are triple Q'd? The CFA is a number not pass fail and we haven't received a letter stating qualified or not. Do you have to call the academy to see if you are considered triple Q'd? We already have the other two.

Could someone please help me get up to speed with what the NROTC scholarship is all about and has to offer. Is there any connection to the USNA at all? Does getting the scholarship mean the USNA offer may not be coming if we get a nomination and they are trying to steer us in an alternative...

My heart skipped a beat, flat white USCGA envelope in the mailbox......gave to son and kept on going. I wait, I wait, no reaction from son.......finally I walk by his door and he yells......"they got it". The letter simply states, all of his info is received and is before the Candidate Review...
