Congrats and welcome to the family. My DS is class of 2018 and is ready for plebe year to be done and turn the job over to you guys!

My son is there now as member of class of 2018. I can give you a helpful hint.....if you have not gone and can afford the trip you should go do a visit at the school...either a day trip or an overnight. When you do, you meet one of the directors of admissions and get interviewed in a small...

appointed.

Congrats, Spelly!!! So happy your patience paid off! Good luck to you son and keep us posted!!

Hi Spelly, Prepswimmom and all my old buddies! Just wanted to let you all know i check in on you once in awhile and i am rooting for you all. My DS is in the thick of plebe year at USMMA. He is doing well…received a silver star for academics for the first trimester. Says it is tough but it...

MDN18 You should definitely check out USMMA. My son did not have it on his radar at all but after visiting, it became a very viable option. His goal was to be an officer in the US Navy and USMMA will provide that path. If you are interested in being a ships officer, you will certainly get the...

How nice to hear from you, Skip! (And so many other old buddies) Glad to hear your boy is doing well and that Bob has a four year reprieve! Mine accepted an appointment to USMMA and while he opened an app, not sure he will pursue. He was told by our local usna admissions rep that they don't...

southpaw, how are you doing?

HI Old Friends!! Wishing you all the best of luck on the roller coaster. My boy seems to be doing well at USMMA. HE was told that USNA does not usually take those from other service academies so i don't think he is going forward with the rest of his application. He is getting the service...

USMMA goes by the trimester system and that ends at the end of October. The most of the regiment goes home for fall break at that time - for one week. Perhaps that is the time for your change. I must say, you sound very resigned to your decision and only seem to be worried about how others...

southpaw, I know this must be a very hard time for you but reach deep in your heart and do what is best for you. I would suggest you finish our the year so you have completed one year of college and have something to show for it. Completing one year will also give you a better overall...

Good Luck, Old Friends. My DS accepted an appointment to the USMMA. He did have interest in reapplying and opened the initial app. He received an email from our regional admissions person asking him if he was going to reapply -- told him he had a strong application and that the dean of...

Best of luck to your son. He sounds like a great boy. Things happen for a reason. he is on the path that was meant for him.

WHo are you people? This group has been together for many many months. We have been through lots of up and downs. We have held each others hands and made each other laugh. Most of us got bad news and have moved on and cherished the time we all spent wringing our hands waiting. if we want to...

Oh no, Currey!! ....i am so sorry they put you through this extra anxiety. I cant understand why they would dangle it in front of you all this time. Doesn't seem right. Hope your boy is taking it in stride....and is looking forward to wherever he is going in the fall. Not sure what my DS is...

Thanks, Dell. I love that you quoted me! Makes me feel famous!!

My son got an LOA last year and got the appointment in January after he received the nomination from the congressman so his status was not on hold at any time.

so nice to see posts from all the old group! Missing you all and wish we were all together..my son heads to USMMA in July and it is coming so quickly..i need some hands to hold.

My DS accepted an appointment for class of 2018. Yesterday he received his orders in the mail and they require you to return a signed agreement within 48 hours...i suppose this leaves room for some additional drop off. So, hang in the KP Joe....i have my fingers crossed for you.

The one bright side of Curry's interminable wait, is that we are all still here!!! Holding hands! Hi Womp Womp!! hugs Prepswimmom!! SPelly, are you still there making the cocktails??
