    Tell us about your kid.

    Dial and Blessed, I wish I could remember the wise person who posted that service academy mids/cadets often actually become much closer to their families once they start plebe summer. The gist of it was mids/cadets begin to really appreciate and internalize how meaningful the family...

    "Hunter.50cal, It is your ATTITUDE, not your APTITUDE, that determines your ALTITUDE. Please read about the role of Inclusion and Diversity at the CGA. It may help you to see things in a different light. http://www.uscga.edu/about.aspx?id=32 To the rest of us... We need to think carefully...

    Aooga15. The more we learn about USMMA the more we have decided it is a well kept secret and a hidden jewel among the SAs. The rededication of funds and structural and curriculum improvements in this past year is also very encouraging. The ability for DS to go reserves or into any active duty...

    If you can't get a nomination

    Your book, I am guessing? Just helping you advertise, as the picture and the tag line might be easy to miss.

    BSA Core Values....

    Thanks for posting. Scout is what you make of it. My DS enjoyed years of learning important values, leadership skills and it shaped his desire to serve others and serve our country. The adult volunteers in his troop worked tirelessly, spending their own time, gas and money to serve the boys in...

    I did not receive a nomination from my senator or congressman

    Thank you for proving my point about why the forum should be non-commercial. "Unofficial" apparently does not mean free…. If anyone wants to buy a widget…let me know…

    I did not receive a nomination from my senator or congressman

    I may sell widgets for a living, but I don't advertise it in my tagline. I am all about enterprise and salesmanship, I just think this is the wrong forum to promote a book you authored. If the moderators disagree, so be it.

    Fate of NCAA gymnastics, boxing, fencing and rifle team

    Agree 100%. The SA are designed to produce well trained officers, not to produce Olympic athletes. My DS will go to SA to become a leader, not just excel in a niche sport. If you want a niche sport, great, go to a school that offers you that opportunity, but don't take a SA spot away from a...

    I did not receive a nomination from my senator or congressman

    "That's not realistic" It seems to me that the OP wants the same as your son wanted, the option (that several nominations allows) to consider several academies. Your son had 2 noms to usma and changed one of his noms to usna (because of his LOA)? Your son got an appointment to both usma and...

    Deferred status by admissions board

    DS mailed his official transcript as soon as he got them without a request. What could it hurt? I think it shows follow through, motivation and if your grades are as good as before or better, it could only help your profile.

    USNA 2018

    LT...Thank you for your post! That is interesting information and a subject many folks have strong feelings for one way or another, and I guess are reluctant to discuss from the lack of responses to the question. Obviously my DS is a Caucasian male, has very competitive stats, and we are proud...
