Amen. Unless you want to discuss whether mailboxes really are evil and scary...
They are both!

.......I want to discuss if your mailbox was a recruited mailbox or a blue chip mailbox and if it became a mailbox even though there were more qualified candidates to become a mailbox...........
Let's not even get in to how much easier the process is for mail slots, or the advantages that PO Boxes have over normal mailboxes.

No USNA news here in VA.
Learned this morning that DS's NROTC application has not been boarded because his recruiting officer misplaced part of DS's file. The issue has been on his portal all this time, but when DS contacted him about it (which he has been doing since February), the recruiter said he was working on it. He'll make it into the final board and end up on the scholarship waiting list at any of the 3 USNA alternatives he's considering (assuming he's awarded a scholarship). I've been beating up DS for not being assertive enough. Now I feel badly about not giving DS the benefit of the doubt. How is an 18 year old supposed to know how to deal with the situation? It was hard enough for me, a reforming helicopter parent, to figure out how to attack the problem. I can't even apologize for riding him by giving him large quantities of his favorite food, chocolate. He gave it up for Lent.
Blessings to all who are playing a different game and to those still in it!
