DS is still waiting & on NWL, but he has a Dr appointment today. Dr is retiring, so I can't push it out again. Are there any special medical requirements in the event he's accepted? I have sickle cell test for NSI & the vaccines for USNA, but haven't been able to find USMA's list. TIA

Hi! I'm looking for suggestions for a DS for high school graduation. I'd like to do something collectible militaria, probably WW2 era, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about what would be a cool gift. He has an escape map (and we found an identical map in the Spy Museum in DC, which is cool)...

DS is waiting on word from USNA & USMA. He received word that he received the NROTC-MO scholarship last week, but absolutely nothing has showed up in Netfocus or email. He has an upcoming routine physical coming up. What items should I be sure to include? I read threads on a sickle cell test...

We happened to be attending a CVW when selections came out & I guess there were more people that chose MC than spaces available. What happens to the ones that aren't selected, since they have been in the MC track for 2 years? Do they switch uniforms & classes for the last semester and graduate...

Hi! BGO suggested we see the Navy game after the CVW. Are tickets generally available or should I be looking for them now? Looks like they are in-person sales at the gate, so I'm not sure what to expect for availability. Any other tips for the game? DS is really looking forward to all of it. 😊...

Hello, After many recommendations to have NROTC as a plan B, DS is now hearing contradictory info. He's being told that NROTC grads don't quite get the same jobs or career options, mainly because academy grads get 1st pick at assignments. Then their entire career trajectory is determined. He...

Hello, DS wants to be a Marine & attended NASS #1, but was unable to attend SLE due to scheduling. He was really hoping to get a taste of academy life - plebe summer, in particular. Instead, he found it very watered-down. Didn't get to do much on the ecourse, no boat carrying, no difficult...

Hello, Per admissions recommendation, I'm starting to gather medical records for DS. He was hospitalized twice.. at 5 days old for jaundice & 1 yr old for rotovirus to get fluids. Such silly, simple things. However, I received a letter from the hospital saying everything before 2008 has been...
