Anywhere close to Roanoke? We used to live there! Now in Chattanooga, my hometown!
navymomwannabe (um, since DS has a NROTC scholarship maybe I need a new name??) reporting in with our daily "no news is no news" post from the central time zone.
Yes
You should change your name from navymomwannabe to NavyMOM! Congrats on the NROTC scholarship.
LOL thanks Vista! My freshmen DD is starting to really love USCGA so I am thinking I need a neutral non-military name so as not to show favoritism in the future....
Spot on Vista. A lot of these stories have little fact to them. Yes every year there are a few kids who do not stand up and take the oath. These kids are taken back and have a long talk with a slew of folks. Half of them leave, others take their oath and move on. I actually believe statistically attrition rates have declined over the years. I think this is because of the wealth of information that exists on the Internet. If everyone stayed, they would let less in. They know the numbers and statistics and factor that in when they set the class size. And trust me I know the women's soccer coach... They don't sugar coat things for recruits. I know it's hard to believe that getting in is the easy part... Making it through is the hard part of USNA. Coaches know this and don't want to lose players they get in, so why hide the truth? I day was very bewildering. I somehow remember most of it and smiled a lot... No idea why. Besides war, this was by far the most confusing, draining day I have faced. For me the worst day was the first night laying in bed and exactly the whole... What did I do starts to cross your mind. I was a detailer for I day... Out of 40 plebes probably 30-35 of them cried themselves to sleep that first night.
Anyway... Best of luck to everyone still stalking. I hope there is good news in everyone's future still waiting for USNA and other schools.
