I was wondering how much a presidential nomination helps out with getting into the naval academy? And how competitive the presidential nomination process is? Both my parents have served active duty in the navy for 20 plus years so I believe I qualify. However my gpa is not the best(3.3uw) and my...

I'm currently a junior attending a well ranked high school in Virginia, I was wonder what my chances of getting into the Naval Academy were and whether or not I should just give up and just apply for a ROTC scholarship at a public school. I understand my GPA is pretty well below average but...

So I am currently in a 2 year college and have already finished my first year. I want to apply to the air force to become an officer, but I see that I would either need to have enough credits for OTS or have to be in a 4 year for ROTC. Do I have to go to another college to apply for ROTC? Please...

Hello! I'm a candidate for USAFA and I am currently going through the medical evaluation process. I am concerned about my possible asthma history. My doctor has prescribed me Albuterol Sulfate in the past. I used it in 2017, when I was under 13, for pre-asthmatic concerns. I haven't used...

I got out of the AF in 2014. I've been to numerous vet centers to get a copy of my DD214, but it seems as if it doesn't exist on file. I've been able to receive my medical records, deployment records, even enlistments and separation documents. But for reason, nobody has been able to find my...

I just got an email notifying me of a medical disqualification for an abdominal surgery that I had 7 years ago and no further complications, played soccer since then and lift weights. I hate to find this out this late in the process, and was wondering if there is any thing I can do to increase...

Just a bit of background to start off this post... I currently live in one of the three districts in the U.S. that does not have a sitting congressperson (former congressman recently passed away). While this situation is quite unique, I have been informed by a USMA admissions officer that the...

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for 3 years now and we have decided to go into the CG but she wants to go to the academy and I want to go active duty. I was told that we cannot be dating when she is in academy and I’m active. We really want to stay together but can’t find what to do/ how...

Hello all! I am writing this post because I seek the help of Mr. Mullen and any others who might have insight into my situation. Last week I received a disqualification notice from DoDMERB for an issue that I believe was misdiagnosed due to the fact that it was asymptomatic and had never been...

Hello all, I am currently applying for the USNA. In the application, there is an essay requirement. I am just here to receive feedback and see what I can do better. This is a rough draft, and I expect to change some things in the future. (1) Describe what led to your initial interest in the...

I'm an incoming sophomore in high school with USMA being my top choice for college. However, I only really learned about WP at the end of freshman year, so I've been slacking off some and not working as hard as I should have been. I've researched what I could about the academy and other...

Hello! Today I just completed my optometric examination at a civilian institution. I think I may have failed the depth perception exam because I couldn't tell which circle "stood out" to me. I did correctly identify which animals stood out though. They also noted I have minor esotropia, because...

Hello! I am on a Type 1 Scholarship for AFROTC. I am really banking on this scholarship to afford the expensive school I am going to, but more importantly, it has been my PASSION and BLAZE in my heart to serve ever since I was a boy. I'm just worried that if they disqualify me for having flat...

Hi all. A question regarding congressional nominations: My DD is 1 of 10 nominated by a MOC to USNA. USNA is her top, and she has 2 more nom interviews in the coming weeks. She is unsure if she should say USNA is her top in these next cong interviews because she already got a nom and does...

I recently sent my JROTC SAI a Form 5-497, I filled out all my information but when it asked for my SAT scores, it was written down in the format used before 2016. It asks for my Critical Reading Score, My Writing Score, And my Math Score. I initially assumed this meant the "Test Scores" which...

I am a rising senior who is struggling to figure out how exactly to upload my SAT/ACT scores to ROTC. I have several questions. First, does the scholarship program superscore? Second, can I upload a screenshot of my score to the application, if not how exactly do I give my score to the...

I am currently a rising senior who can't quite figure out all of the facts about the 7 schools for the scholarship. Namely if I get the scholarship, does it work at all of my seven schools? And what happens if I don't get into any of my seven schools?

Good Evening All! It has been a couple of years since my last time on this form, but it's nice to be back! Sadly, I am applying to the Naval Academy for my last time. After this year, I will be too old for the next I-Day. Between my first application in High School and now, I've enlisted in...

Hello, When I was applying for the USNA, DoDMERB deemed me medically disqualified but said I may be eligible for a medical waiver. Because I was not offered appointment to USNA this year, they did not proceed to review my medical history. So, I was wondering how I could obtain a medical waiver...
