    Questions from Mom of new Plebe

    They were postmarked the 2nd and 3rd of July. I did not realize there was no time for writing at beast. Funny, they are addressed to Mom and Dad with our home address, no last names, but they get here.

    Questions from Mom of new Plebe

    Thanks for all of your replies. I just got my phone call and I'm on cloud nine. DS said that his superior officer is "the Man" and everything is fine. He was in excellent shape, so the only complaint is 5 a.m. and getting yelled at, which he tunes out. He took his boots when they checked in...

    Nomination goof up???

    Thanks. I planned on calling the office. I posted this on another thread (NJ) and a responder said it was probably too late for the slate to have been changed anyway. I am just hoping that is true, or that I am worrying for no reason. Is the civil prep scholar the same as a LOA?

    Nomination goof up???

    Thanks for the reply. My son is a civil prep scholar sponsored by the Academy. The senator was under the impression that this was the same as having a letter of assurance. Is it???

    Anyone from NJ?

    I need to add that we come from a really competative district and state. I think that is why my husband said that, but also why I am nervous that he messed things up for him.

    Nomination goof up???

    Then, what should he do now? Call the congressman or senator back??? The senator called from home. It was my husband that told him thanks but no thanks. We come from one of the most competative states and districts in the country. I am afraid he really screwed up.
