Stretch I cannot emphasize enough -- stretch, stretch, stretch! And start now! My son had knee trouble during beast and they had him going to some sort of physical therapy during beast. I was a nervous wreck at home thinking he was going to be separated, but he assured me he was in no danger...

My other son is in too My younger son will be joining his big bro who will be a firstie next year. He is from Nevada-01 district. Received Congressional and Senatorial nominations.

Son got a call from today from his first choice school telling him he got the scholarship, and he also informed him as to the other schools that selected him. His Dodmerb status hasn't changed yet however. Good luck to all!

My son received his packet sometime last summer. He filled out everything with pen and paper. I asked him why he wasn't doing it online, and he said he didn't think he had the option. I do remember his "Why I want to go to USMA" response was requested in writing, I'm guessing to use as a...

Dang...looks like football without the pads!! As you can see I know nothing about rugby, but I am very impressed. Looks like they were even tackling! They were getting down and dirty, quite literally. I really enjoyed these pics. Thanks for sharing.

Correspondence honors courses I work in the 5th largest school district and we offer a huge summer school program. However, there are no honors courses during the summer. When students want to take an honors class to either make up a lousy semester or take a whole course to get ahead, I refer...

Pentagon Federal Credit Union My son opened an account with PFCU online and opened a checking account with them. He had to do some things through the mail but it was really simple. I had to send them a check for $5 to open the account, and he did the rest.

Bought my tickets today too! I have been searching for about a month and bought today! My son and I are going to fly into D.C. for 3 days of mom/son time. Have never done that. We're going to do all the touristy stuff, then rent a car on the 27th and drive up to West Point. We are planning a...

My son received an ROTC waiver but was told by USMA that it would be much more difficult to get one from them. But then lo and behold, he did. It's possible!

September 07 - November 07, and that is with a DQ and then waiting for a waiver.

Hey Friends! Hi WAMom, Antoinette, and ArmyWife! I believe I met you all on the CC forum. (ArmyWife, I'm your stalker!!!) Another "Woop Mom" :thumb:

Hi Just_A_Mom Thanks for the dates! I've learned a lot from your posts from lurking the past couple of months.

You can say that again. When my son was disqualified last summer, we honestly thought it was the end of the line. My son found this site and I asked you a question, and we were more than prepared with his medical records, letters from neurologists, and research to send to DODMERB, all thanks to...

He got a waiver!!!! Unbelievable! He honestly didn't expect it. Thanks for all the support everyone, especially RetNavy. As I'm sure everyone knows, this means so much not only to my son, but to the entire family. Thanks again :smile: Derek's mom

The saga continutes... Ok here's where he is~ Derek sent in his complete history form and a letter written from his neurologist including his research and how he hasn't exhibited any symptoms in a few years, etc. etc. As of Monday, Dodmerb listed disqualified D231.90 - Academic skills...
