I was wondering if anyone knew for sure when we hear what company and platoon we are in. I heard that it is not in you permit to report package that we should be receiving late this month but that instead it comes in the mail about one to two weeks before I-day. Is that true?

Thank you everyone for your feedback. Actually my original plan, which still stands, was to tell both the Military Academy, the NROTC unit, and NROTC selection committee I am denying both their appointments and scholarships. I know some people may think it is an unsafe decision to make because...

Thank you for the quick response hokiesfan I guess what you are saying does make a lot of sense.

I was just wondering if anyone could help me by telling me what I need to do if anything to decline my NROTC scholarship to Georgia Tech now that my BFE arrived in the mail from USNA. I thought I heard somewhere, maybe on the forums, that your scholarship automatically goes void if you accept...

Actually it is possible in a technical sense but in reality it would probably never happen. At any academy you can interservice select in to any other armed service branch. Just getting a chance to select another service branch though is very rare but selecting another service special forces and...

Yes it is definitely wonderful news and my first choice is the Naval Academy but I would be more than willing to go to West Point if I got into there instead. Also don't quote me on this but I have heard a few different times on this site from people that a ball park estimate for the class of...

Is it great to hear that 49er and BCinNC! Congrats to both your kids I am also from area 05 in North Carolina and received a nomination from Foxx to both USNA and USMA and both showed up on my separate portals as of Jan 23 2012 so I am praying that I will get an appointment off of one of the two...

I was a very weird case last year for NASS. I applied at midnight on Jan 31. but I did not receive notification until four days before the start day of my session. The midshipmen in charge of the event didnt even know I was coming so they didnt even have anything prepared for me but it just goes...

Same as the last two that posted 3qed with noms but still no appointment in the mail

I am sorry I have not been able to reply because I have been busy with the holidays but Pima is right Burr has already sent out the letters to the few people he wants to interview and he does wait to do interviews until later in janurary and so does my congresswoman who is Virginia Foxx and I...

It is higher than 50%, actually the percentage of candidates that are offered an appointment when they are 3qed and have a nomination is around 75-80% and the exact percentage changes from year to year. Getting a nomination is a big deal though because when you are 3qed because it does put you...
