Thanks so much, everyone. Just showed up with the “✔️” yesterday (albeit dated 2/20 as date of receipt 🤦‍♂️). Should be good to go! As always, folks on this forum are the best!

My nephew had his college transcript sent in January as the final item for his ‘28 app, but there is still an “X” in his portal as an incomplete item. Admissions has confirmed its timely receipt before the 1/31/24 deadline via phone and email and is aware of the portal issue, but it’s driving...

My first sentence was supposed to read “I know there is NO simple answer…” 🤦‍♂️

I know there is simple answer to whether a history of anxiety will be waived. But I’m wondering if anyone knows if BUMED (whom I understand to be the waiver authority for NROTC selects) has ever granted a waiver where the select was off the anti-anxiety meds for less than 36 months. My nephew...

I get it. TWE from USNA was a heartbreaker last week for him, and legacy family had been excited to return to Annapolis. But he was prepared to do CP and may still reapply to USNA. Rough ride, for sure. And he still needs a waiver, so still not 100% across finish line. But he’s stoked and so are...

Dear Nephew (was an alternate) got his 4 Year selection email today. Rounds of applause from Batavia IL for GWU PNS! All the info this year was TREMENDOUSLY helpful. 👏

Do candidates who aren’t offered an appointment just get a TWE in the mail, or does their online status change from CPR to something else indicating no appointment first?

Is this last round for the selection of MSISR/BOOST candidates only (“FY22 J” April 10-14 on the NROTC Info PDF)?

Thank you everyone! EXTREMELY informative. The people on this forum are the best.

My nephew has completed all the steps for an appointment but DODMERB. He has not received a COVID-19 vaccine yet. By when must he receive it? In other words, will his DODMERB approval be subject to his vaccination (and therefore his potential appointment)? Or could he get the thumbs up from...

When is the acceptance deadline this Spring for USMA class of 2020?

Napjim, I noticed your addition of your son to the appointment thread for Navy and that you live in the 14th District. My son is a youngster at Navy and we live in Chicago, but I grew up in Batavia and went to high school at Marmion (then Military) Academy, in Aurora, both in the 14th Dist...

I'll just pile on here - my current youngster said - as a generalization - "priors" (prior enlisted) mids struggle having been out of the classroom for too long, and many separate as a result. I know it would stink to pay for a year of college, but if it's an option, I'd agree with everyone...

I'll throw in as a practical matter: don't be shy about contacting your MOC's office and finding out who the staffer is who handles service academy nominations (in Illinois, my DS contacted the offices in March of his junior year). Check the website first to see if they offer any information...

My son received this information after he received his Permit to Report packet, probably late May early June. If you don't get it by I-Day, I'd contact the appointments office to confirm it. You'll want to know in advance so your family can let people know your summer mailing address: MIDN...
