Okay, I am not really superstitous, but I just realized THIS Friday is Friday the 13th!
Lol it's opposite over here. My parents are calm but I have been freaking out ever since October!!!!I know Bailey! I am hoping all the forum stalkers and posters have clear skies on the 18th! I haven't seen anyone on the USAFA forum post they got a turned down notice in their portal. Really nervous for what the 18th might bring! My DS is much more calm and taking it all in stride!
Same in our house -- DS is as cool as a cucumber but I'm a nervous mess! The 18th seems so far away!I know Bailey! I am hoping all the forum stalkers and posters have clear skies on the 18th! I haven't seen anyone on the USAFA forum post they got a turned down notice in their portal. Really nervous for what the 18th might bring! My DS is much more calm and taking it all in stride!
I'm with you! Just got a 4 yr NROTC scholarship; it was quite encouraging, because even if USAFA doesn't come through I know I can still go t college next year, and hopefully become more competitive for the USAFA C/O 2020!Our house is definitely more of the nukepharm ilk. I'm completely obsessing over every bit of news. DS remains calm, although I know he's anxious to get whatever news is coming and move on. The nice thing is that most of his friends are also still playing the waiting game with regards to civilian schools. One thing I didn't realize initially is the toll this has taken on our DD, who is a tenth grader. She's a very good student as well, but the stress and constant "academy talk" and "well, I read on the forums that...." Has caused HER more stress for what lies ahead! So I've toned it back a little. Ha! In recent days, however, DS and I have had great conversations about the dreaded TWE and "what ifs.." Obviously we've had chats about that before, but actually sitting down and hammering out a plan (he has multiple acceptances, been awarded 4yr NROTC scholarship) of attack was quite productive and, I believe, stress reducing.
Navy. What about you? I couldn't tell what tier..... where did you find that info? I keep looking for it through the e-mail, but don't see it....Bailey, is your NROTC scholarship Navy or Marine option? Are you Tier 1?
It was in the hard copy of the letter. I don't think it was on the initial email he received.Navy. What about you? I couldn't tell what tier..... where did you find that info? I keep looking for it through the e-mail, but don't see it....
