    THE END OF THE LINE...

    Well, it has been fun everyone. Thanks for your input and comments since January. Checked the portal this afternoon (1:30 pm) like always and this time it was different. I had to do a double take... "Turned down by USNA" :blowup: Since I have been having dialogue via e-mail with our Regional...

    THE BLACK BOX - USNA vs NROTC admissions process

    This might not be a very PC post, but since I do have inside sources, I think I can open it with authority. My brother (USNA '90 Captain), sat on two NROTC boards in P-cola this cycle (August until now) and brought up this issue to me. He said it will be a lot harder for my son (a white, male)...

    April Fool's Day - Big day for USAFA, USMA and USNA?

    A 4-star General client of mine (USMA grad) told me today that his son has been accepted at USAFA and USMA, as well as a NAPS offer. He said, "USAFA and USMA are asking for decisions by April 1, so that should open up slots for USNA." If so, it sounds like April 4th (Monday) through the 15th...

    Officer Programs - Great comment during the wait...

    My son has a Senator NOM and is waiting like most to see if he gets an Appointment. A few days ago he received a letter from NROTC offering him a 4 yr scholarship. I loved his response, "Dad, I've got my ticket to becoming an officer." The next day he received an acceptance letter from...

    How exactly to the "national" nominations work?

    I was recruited to play football for Navy back in 1983 and went to NAPS, so no nomination was needed, and graduated in 1988. My son applied to USNA this year and like everyone else we are going to the mailbox in anticipation daily between now and the end of March. MY QUESTION centers around...
