Still in the game

Location

Anywhere close to Roanoke? We used to live there! Now in Chattanooga, my hometown!

Glad to hear none of you got dinged off the island today. Maybe USNA used up all their TWEs in the last barrage and are preparing BFEs for you all.

On their FB page the admissions folks say they will be short staffed this week. May be another quiet one.

Yes :)
You should change your name from navymomwannabe to NavyMOM! Congrats on the NROTC scholarship.
 
So CA Monday mail check results are inconclusive. No BFE, no TWE, no Foundation offer, no wait list letter, no NAPS offer. Waiting like the rest of my forum friends.
 
Dear All, I am happy that you all made it though another weekend and monday...i think it bodes very well. There surely must be BFE's to be sent! I will have my fingers and toes crossed for you all.

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.... :wink:

I totally get it. I am a coastie sister and an army mom and a navy mom.

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.

Thanks Navyhoops and Vista for your balanced insight and input. It was good info to share with my 2018 Mid.
