Censored....Amazing.. everything is perfect and wonderful!
Good Luck to all.
I don't think the intent was to censor so much as to keep to the original intent of this particular thread. Nor do I think that anyone thinks that the application process is perfect or wonderful, but those topics have been discussed ad nauseum in other threads.
As painful as USNA rejection is, here are a few positive thoughts for those having to move on to a different plan:
- If you (or your DS/DD) were 3Q, you have every reason to be proud of yourself. If you weren't a good student with strong leadership potential, you would have been rejected months ago.
- Many of you now have an option to join a NROTC unit. The good news is that you will take the equivalent Naval Science classes. The other good news is that you will not be standing watch in the Main Office from 0200 to 0400, you will be able to choose how to spend your evenings and weekends, and you will be able to choose whether or not to attend your school's sporting events.
- If you do choose to go all the way through NROTC, you will be able to graduate at the same time as those who will start at USNA this July, and you will have exactly the same rank and Commission.
Best wishes to you all. Thank you for volunteering to serve.
