I'm with you Spelly. We dropped off our son yesterday and got him all set up in his dorm room. Yesterday was the first day of NROTC. Before we left him he gave a us a card thanking us for being his parents, for all we've done for him, and for raising him to become the man he has grown into. He...

My son received his candidate number and password to reapply. He is enrolled at U. of I. with all his first semester courses already picked out which mirror the USNA curriculum. He is signed up for the NROTC at his school. We talked the other day. He said he's looking forward to re-applying but...
