Thanks!
I'm so sad to be here - if you know what I mean.
You're absolutely right though, this misery requires like-minded company.
I can't remember going through anything quite like this. It's kind of like waiting for the best Christmas present imaginable. You hope to get it, but it seems too much to ask for.
It's the end of four year process that began during a USNA Academy soccer camp I participated in as a high school Freshman.
The following year, I applied for the STEM program but I was declined by a TWE.
Not to be deterred, I applied for and was accepted to the NASS. Best time ever - truly!
No regrets no matter what.
Prepping for the Academy's application demands earned me (4) full ride civilian scholarships to really terrific civi colleges. Bragging not intended here, just very, very proud of the path I've taken.
Thank you USNA - no matter what!
GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY..., and send me an Offer of Appointment!
