    Expert pistol/rifle proficiency

    It all depends. You only get one try (usually) at qualifying. I would say the pistol was a lot easier than the rifle but that's just me. The expert standards are fleet wide standards so its not just academy standards. If you've shot before then I would say you will be fine. I had never shot...

    Exercise Induced Asthma...

    I had the same problem over the summer. I was DQ'ed for reactive airway disease/ asthma. I did the whole remedial process and took the methacholine challenge.

    Two boys from the same town?

    I went to my MOC's brunch a few days ago. There were about 6 noms to USNA and two had appointments. Usually, the LOAs are not charged to the MOC so your son still has a good chance. Like 1964BGO said, keep in mind the alternate pool. Many people are offered appointments from the pool. Hang in...

    Do SA's actively recruit for sports?

    I was recruited and having a contact at the Academy has helped a lot with the application process. Some coaches, not all, will check on you application and make sure you have everything in. They can also write letters to the MOCs just as an extra letter of support. Coaches can not initiate phone...

    I thought it worth re-publishing this 2007 post for LOA candidates

    So would that make it more or less likely for a person with an LOA to get a nomination from a Congressman?
