Good luck with reporting technical issues to DOD IT contractors. DODMERB was down for three months. Another active fighting force main website was down for an entire week. The list goes on. USNA admissions are thorough professionals who do what they do best and has nothing to do with issues...

Our son spent four years of high school as a boarder at a military academy. One of the reason(s) was to get him to be amongst his peers, learn and build lifelong friendship, to be independent and have the confidence to make informed decisions in life. Those four years (probably) helped him...

i dont get it either. English is my fifth language. Morse used to be my first..the one with the clicking sound. Then Klingon came along... Now its the Machine language. Maybe, its all about respect, gratitude and humility. Apologies for going off topic.

DS got thru' with the bare minimums in Math and Reading after two attempts with SAT. But there were several other evaluations that played into the final decision.

We did something similar for our DS. Class of 27. Plan A - USNA (did not apply to any other SA) Plan B - Applied and received NROTC scholarship Plan C - Applied and received acceptance from Norwich University, Citadel, Old Dominion, VTech. All NROTC. Once word got out that he received NROTC...

Curious - when do plebes fill out their questionnaire for national security position (SF 86). DS is only 17 years old, so not sure how minors navigate these 100 plus pages going back to the last 7 - 10 years.

Ditto. Gave my DS three years to think about his choice of future military life before his high school life in a military academy. His focus was USNA all the way. Just wanted to ensure if that was where his heart belonged. I just play the role of a lifeguard...

Thank you. VA 10th District. Ms. Jennifer Wexton.

DODMERB team from PA office called last night to inform that they received the medical report from the doctor's office. She said it would be uploaded to the portal by the end of the week. This was the missing (hopefully last) piece the Naval admissions office was looking for.

Very true. DODMERB cannot proceed without the test results. Below is what we found out. It seems the medical facility in VA faxed the report to the Colorado office. Called the CO office. Their voicemail says everyone there is teleworking. Meanwhile, DS received email from DODMERB...

Will do that as soon as the medical facility opens tomorrow morning.

DS has been medically cleared by the allergist Mar 01. The medical facility said they faxed the report to DODMERB, but DODMERB says they have yet to receive it. DS informed BGO and USNA admissions office and updated them since he has a LOA and has satisfied all the requirements. What do...

Thanks for the words of encouragement and my sincere apologies for the pre-mature comments. Respectfully.

My sincere apologies. was a bit quick to pull the trigger. In the end everything will work out. It always has. Thanks. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

He cleared his test at the medical facility Mar 1, but found out they have yet to forward the results to DODMERB. It's quite a bit of challenge to reach out to anyone in that facility. Goes from one voice mail to the other. No call back ever. They just don't care. My fear is that would their...
