    VMI, Citadel, Norwich

    Thanks to everyone for sharing your thoughts. My DD thinks she will like the cold/snow. We live in Phoenix now so I doubt it will be a shock :-) It's good to hear positive info about Norwich as well as the other SMCs.

    VMI, Citadel, Norwich

    I see a lot of post about VMI and the Citadel. I see very few posts relating to Norwich. Right now, Norwich is on my DD's short list (something about trees and 1st ROTC). What is it about Norwich that precludes it from getting any love on this site :-) I was thinking that maybe there is...

    NASS 2016 Q&A Thread

    My DD has not communicated with her DM since she first arrived. I think my DW was expecting texts every 30 minutes with photos, LOL. Should we expect no communications the entire week or is my DD just having too much fun right now? Did they go dark?

    Commissioning numbers for 2016

    What is the reason that less than half commission? Is it by choice? Did they not "cut the mustard"? I would have thought that 100% of students in a ROTC program that graduated would have received a commission. I think I'm missing something. Sorry.

    Official Candidate!

    DD received the official email today and is going to NASS. It was great listening to her talk about it with her DM. She is so excited.

    Brag Sheet/Resume?

    Hi time2, Thanks for the info. My DD's AFJROTC Colonel asked her to put together a "Brag Sheet". I've heard/seen it referenced in other places as well. I've also seen that the goal is to specifically put everything you can possibly think of on it that would show your accomplishments...

    Brag Sheet/Resume?

    Thank you both for your input. I appreciate the category lists. Gives me something tangible to start with. goforspaatz, interesting that you put your picture on your resume. I hadn't thought of that.

    Brag Sheet/Resume?

    I've seen different places require submitting a Brag Sheet and other places require a Resume. Are a Brag Sheet and Resume really just the same thing or is one formatted differently? Does anybody have any recommendation for how to lay out a Brag Sheet/Resume that is more in line with applying...

    Does lettering in Marching Band count as a varsity sport?

    Thanks for the info usna1985. I absolutely understand and agree with the value of sports and why the SAs would want varsity athletes. When we started this journey about 1.5 years ago, we started doing research. Once I realized the huge emphasis on sports participation, I explained to my DD...

    So what are your kids doing for the summer?

    My DD is going to NASS and Norwich this summer. She's so excited.

    Does lettering in Marching Band count as a varsity sport?

    DD focused on music, academics and volunteer work in junior high. It wasn't until high school that she became interested in the military. It wasn't until her sophomore year that she decided she wanted to get into Annapolis. She has been working hard physically ever since. Her mile is down...

    Does lettering in Marching Band count as a varsity sport?

    Thanks for all the replies. My DD was section leader in band. She is Deputy Corps Commander of her AFROTC unit as a junior, hoping to get Corps Commander next year. She is working very hard on her physical training which sounds like the right place to put an emphasis since she has not played...

    Does lettering in Marching Band count as a varsity sport?

    I see that somewhere around 85% of USNA offers go to applicants with a varsity sport letter. My daughter does not have any other letter. Will the Marching Band letter help her chances similar to other sports? Thanks,
