    stalking 201 I think I've moved up in the mailbox stalkers anonymous world. This must be a "woman thing" because it reminds me of when I was younger waiting for the phone to ring after a date. After 3 kids, almost 20 years of marriage, a divorce and no time for a relationship, I don't care if...

    nominations Let me clarify my last reply: All of the admission paperwork that he had to submit was submitted well before the cutoff date. The only thing missing was the submission of the nomination which must come directly from the Congressman's office. In other words, he was at the mercy of...

    nominations Actually, his entire packet (at least the part HE had control over) was complete. He had no control over the Congressman's submission of the nomination. So, I wouldn't exactly categorize it as a self imposed setback. It was beyond his control. No kids from our congressional...

    plebe wannabe My son applied to the Academy this year for the class of 2015. He did not get in, despite being triple qualified and having a nomination. Why? Because his nomination from his Congressman had not been forwarded to the Academy by the January 31st cutoff date. (He received his nom...
