My son waited a year. He is this years class. Stay strong and keep the faith. Your son sounds like just the kind of young adult that The Naval Academy needs.Since hearing the bad news on March 24 about not being accepted I have asked my son nothing regarding the Academy. The one thing I do know is that he re-applied the day the application opened. This past Sunday on the way home from his state championship race he said exactly this:
"Dad, on our way to drop me off at college can we stop at the Academy for the day so I can go in and remember everything I loved."
I kept is short and sweet:
"Yes, we can!"
Day by day, we will see...as he waits he just has to do well in class and in his NROTC unit.
