I wouldn't go there Socalfan! If you break it down, I would say at least 95% of the posts on these forums IMHO, 2caoile3, you do not have to explain your actions to anyone! We do what we do for our children when they don't have the time! I am former AF officer and know what you mean! Those that...

Congrats 3Tombro3, great job! You got what I've been told is the "Golden Ticket" to USNA! Get a chance to hone up your study skills even more and max out your CFA! Doesn't get any better, plus you get to go into the academy with a great edge! Piece of cake, you got this! We come aboard, sir! GO...

Sorry to hear 2020boy! Makes me wonder about USNA now more than ever if they are leaving the "Cream of the Crop" so to speak on the floor and going after diversity more and more! Maybe we need a new SA serving just the great kids who are turned down, that would make for a great service! Oh...

My DS was in the same boat, had band all 4 years, Drum Major and his senior year was in Varsity Swim and Water Polo. He really pushed himself to get into varsity sports and it has been a grueling schedule with band schedule every day varsity marching practice and jazz band. This also shows they...

NAPS also says through Facebook that they have had "some" appointments but are far from done with all their appointments. Would not give me any numbers though so I am going to try and call them tomorrow! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Thanks for the info usnabgo08, always appreciated! I'm going to miss everyone once DS earns NAPS or Foundation (thinking positive)! Maybe I'll come back and stalk every once in awhile:-) GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Wow! Just got off the phone with USNA Foundation program. Very, very helpful and great info. They have received 40 appointees so far, but not all have accepted. They are anticipating 15 more appointments until 5/15/16. So if you are CPR at this time you are still in the hunt! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

My DS was a Drum Major so his AC informed us he received extra points for leadership in that role. GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Moderator on another thread says that there may be couple of hundred NAPS and Foundation slots left to fill. Hope DS gets one. Still CPR so far and MOC says one of the candidates off of their slate declined offer and another accepted so they had 2 and 1 left! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Looks like we have a few hundred more to go for NAPS and Foundation according to the man who knows!!! Hang in there 2020orBust, the best is yet to come! We are still at CPR (Since 7/1/15) GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

My DS was told countless times, "you need to practice good time management", by teachers, coaches, etc. that showed up for 8:20 class at 8:15am and left the school at 3:31pm everyday when they were supposed to have office hours. Do as I say, not as I do:-) GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Still CPR in Texas since 1Jul2015:-)

Just my two cents, but I think admissions plan for these scenarios, so accept Army now and wait for Navy! There will always be someone on wait list that will take the spot when Navy comes through so you are not taking a spot from anyone, IMHO! Patience is an extreme virtue for any officer in any...

Three so far and one from Austin! DS still waiting, TX-23! Whose your MOC? GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

You sound like a boomer Wildcatmom! I'm right there with you! Plan B-F in place at NROTC at state schools, SMC and Ivy. All full rides! Still in running for USNA! GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!
