So glad to hear this! DS is a recruited athlete for CGA and has been offered the Scholars Program. This confirms exactly what the coach and athletic director told DS. He is excited and humbled by the opportunity he has been given.

Have all EA apps been reviewed? If so, When was the last board, and how long does it usually take to hear anything?

Four years ago, DS applied to USNA and NROTC. He did not receive an appointment and was devastated as his dream since about age 4 was to attend Annapolis and become a Navy Pilot. He did receive a full 4 year NROTC scholarship. His Plan B, however, was not without a hiccup. He was assigned to...

Does CGA recruit like the other SA's do? And if so, how much does that help a candidate's application?

He fully realizes that a CVW does not equal an appointment. He is currently in NROTC and after the first month of school, he currently has an A in every subject. He is working very hard but has said that if an appointment does not come for him this year, he will be happy to stay where he is...

After receiving one of the "thin letters" last April, my son is reapplying this year. He has been in contact with CGO and got excellent feedback on what was "lacking" in his package last year. He was told that his file wouldn't be looked at until after first semester, so he was shocked to get...

As so many others have posted, Larry answered my question quickly and after an email and phone call, it looks like we are good to go. Thanks, Larry!

My son applied to both USNA and NROTC for class entering 2008. His medical was sent for waiver review for both. He ultimately did not recieve an appointment for USNA and so his medical never left the waiver board. He was awarded a NROTC scholarship and received a waiver. He has now decided...

I know exactly how you feel. Our son reported to his unit last Monday and was sworn in. He then went through "freshman orientation" with the unit for the week. We saw a huge difference between Monday and Saturday when we got to see him in his whites. We are so proud of him and all the others...

"Limbo" update After submitting his revised list to Pensacola, S was assigned to the last school on his list (Norwich). He immediately requested to be placed on the waiting list for his top choice. It has now been over three months, and he is still waiting. Ultimately he decided to attend...

It's fixed Looks like it worked! Thanks, TN! :thumb:

TN, I've tried deleting the cookies and I'm still getting the forbidden message. Thanks! Hopefulmom

I've been trying off and on for three weeks to respond to a PM from Tactical Nuke. Each time I try to send the message, I get the following message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /private.php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying...

A huge "Thank You" goes out to RetNavyHM. My son received word yesterday, just two hours before his graduation, that his medical waiver was approved for NROTC. We've been through Methacholine Challenge testing and a DQ for nephritis, and like so many others here, RetNavy has been a calming and...

The past two weeks have been quite a roller coaster ride! First S found out that he did not receive appointment to USNA. Three days later he was notified that he was selected for a 4 Year NROTC Scholarship. Last night he received an email stating that he had not been placed in a unit because...

I need to change my name to usnahopefulmom2013. Son received his letter of non appointment. He's taking a few days to be upset but has decided to reapply for the class of 2013. I'm so very proud of him and all those who have taken this journey. GO NAVY!

For those that have been waitlisted... First, CONGRATULATIONS! At least your thin envelope still leaves you hope for an appointment. Two quick questions: Did your admission status on DoDMERB change? Were any of you waiting for a medical waiver and if so, did you get one yet?

Is anyone else having trouble logging into the CIS today? DS tried this morning and he couldn't get in. He's a candidate for 2012, and yes, we are still waiting...need a waiver. I wonder if it has anything to do with the preliminary application for 2013 being available today?

That is exactly what my son's CIS says as well. He is of the opinion that it is from Sen. Sessions. :smile:

I guess I wasn't clear in my question. Is it usual to receive a nom without having interviewed with a MOC and is it also usual to find out about the nom solely by accident (by checking CIS)? DS got a wonderful letter and call from our Rep when he received 1st nom back in December. He got a...
