How did you learn you are getting one if you didn't receive a letter yet? And why by the 19th? I'm just trying to understand if my daughter stll has a chance of getting one. Thanks!
 
I recieved a call from my field force officer last night, and she informed me that I had an LOA coming in the mail. She said that it would be arriving next monday, the 19th.

Hey! Congrats on receiving an LOA! I'm also a female I was wondering what you did to train for the pull ups? They are not my strong suit :/

I'm not a female, but the idea of performing pullups is all based on practice, practice, practice!

If anyone is lacking in the muscles needed to perform a full pullup, then start off with assisted pullups. This can be done with a friend holding your legs or by hanging your feet on a chair and making your body slightly lighter.

I was only able to do 3 when I first started, and once I bought a pullup bar and kept practicing I was able to do over 10 easily. It's all constant practice!

Thanks! To improve my pull-ups, I bought a pull-up bar that went on top of a door and would do as many pull-ups as I could possibly do, wait about a minute, and then would do as many as I could again (I did that pattern for around five sets when I started out). If you do that every other day for a while, you'll see your strength go up incredibly quickly!

I am also a girl and I will definitely do that to train! I also received an LOA, but I only could do 2 pull-ups :(
 
I just received a call and an email from my Military Academy Admissions Representative that I got an LoA, and that it's on its way in the mail!
