My daughter submitted her USNA application with no mention of our family's military service tradition and now, having learned the actual history, would like to add that information on the advice of one midshipman's parents. Is this helpful, can it be added and, if so, does only Navy service, particularly USNA graduates-only history, merit introduction? Finally, are we talking about only blood-related family or would it include reference to relatives by marriage who are, in fact, active members of our family who served honorably?
