As a long time thread and mailbox stalker, my heart breaks to see so many TWE's over the past couple days. My dad and I have been following you all along this journey.
I received a BFE today. My family and I are very excited and in a bit of shock. Though I am not a frequent poster, I want to thank you all for the emotional support and must applaud this community.
Good luck to those still on the island and DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP!

I wonder if my own DS is the only one that is not reapplying...or even intending on reapplying...not a parental idea for USNA...he loved NASS...so it's kind of odd....he was convinced that NROTC was the better place by the ISR CDR when he rec'd the scholarship...but maintained he was at least 50/50 all along.

Well, intellectually and spiritually I am reconciled to the TWE, but emotionally I'm still struggling.
It is those images that have come into my mind, since this whole process began, of where he would be next year. You know - a mother likes to picture her children where they are (and in this case, imagine where they will/might be). I kept picturing him at USNA as a mid - not because I felt "sure" he would get in (we all know too well how fiercely competitive it is, and no matter how fabulous an individual, there are no guarantees...) - but just because it seemed to fit. I didn't cling to the images, they just came. So now I am trying to "get over it". He'll be fine, whatever his path. I'm just dealing with the fact that those visions are not real (at least not this year). Have to move on. Does anyone else have this problem (my dear 12-step support group!)?
Best of luck to everyone at the mailbox today.

Oh Roseville, you are singing my song. We have not received the TWE (yet) but I think the hard part for me is that I too see him in those plebe summer whites. I have envisioned I-day so many times......I do not hold out much hope that it will come to pass but I am sure he will move on faster than I will.
So if you start a support group, I'm in.
Can the support group serve alcohol? Because if he decides to reapply, I am going to need a few stiff drinks!!!
