Not sure where your information is coming from related to the atmosphere being "not good" at Navy?? Your contact and or information is absolutely wrong. IMO!!
Coach Kolat and his team are Outstanding and he really helps build these young men mentally, physically and to compete at the D1...
My opinion only!!!
We need a coach that has more than 3 plays. A-gap run, A-gap run, sweep and then punt is not a receipt for success, consistent winning or recruiting D-1 military academy academic athletes we need. Army coach seems to coach out of the same play book as Navy. If Army coach...
Wonder if they got hacked and asked for a ransom to free the site? This recently happened to KRONOS, a world wide time keeping business. They ended up paying the ransom I heard?.?.?
All depends where you’re from. less competitive states, those scores and accolades would likely get an appointment. Same scores and accolades from competitive states and very likely he would not get a nomination much less an appointment. A huge factor depends on where your from. The Academies...
Our DS had to have a waiver for his peanut allergy. Likely 99.8% you will not be medically approved by DODMERB and will need the same waiver, IF (big if)the academy requests one. Go to DODMERB’s website and read “Questions on the process”. This will help a lot.
Without getting into the weeds...
What’s the old saying??? “It’s a great place to be from!” Not so great when you’re there.
Definitely won’t be sunshine and rainbows. You’ll have fun at times, but as mentioned above… “Embrace the SUCK!”
You’ll be fine. Most your peers will be going through the same thing. If it was easy...
We just got our tickets and can’t wait. We have always been “Go Navy! Beat Army!” as I’m a Navy vet and my oldest is a USNA 2024 Mid. Now my youngest received and accepted his 2026 USMA Appointment, so I’ll now cheer for both.
Go NAVY, Go ARMY!!!…..(beat Army!😉)

Yep, as stated above there is nothing to worry about. She has her appointment. DS #2 just went through this exact same process last week with USMA. Congressman or Senator calls your kid with the good news the rest comes shortly after. CONGRATULATIONS to you DD!

Skin prick test, IgE lab test and an oral peanut consumption test. Those are the three gold standards that a candidate must sufficiently pass with the oral consumption being the most important, from my understanding.
And even then that’s not a guarantee to have a waiver granted.🤷🏼♂️
Just to clarify to you both above, are you asking and answering related to once your DS or DD has submitted the specific academy waiver requested items to DoDMERB or the initial DoDMERB processing request of items needed for DoDMERB makes their initial medical decision?
