I never thought this would be my reply, but my dd got her twe last Thursday and it turns out that she is grateful that she got it. Don't get me wrong. She was hysterical all day. She put her heart and soul into applying for the USNA for the last 2 years. She has been living, breathing, eating the thought of being in the academy, but last Friday we visited her full-ride plan B and she realized that the college will really be a better choice. She will do ROTC and join the military after her 4 years. She can have the best of both worlds now. So, although, I know those TWE's are devastating, totally look on the bright side of things too. We met an amazing young man who went ROTC Air Force after getting his Navy TWE and he said it was the best thing. He got to be an adult in the real world and not live military 24/7.....(a bright side)
He's graduating in a few weeks and going Air Force. Does mechanical engineering and will be doing their pilot program.
