Thank you!!! Those are not bad options!

LOL , no but if I say someone else that knows what they're talking about suggests it.......he's a pretty good listener. Been the case since pre-school...

Sounds good. You are no more overly concerned than I am or I wouldn't be asking!!! It's going to be so hard! Thnx, I will tell him to ask,

He is scheduled for first one so that is a concern. I think moving it to second session would be great if they allow that at the least. Right now no Dr, he has seen 2, think anything besides resting it is necessary, but time will tell! Who can defer it OCS? Or I guess who gets to decide that?

My son has recently been diagnosed with chronomalacia patella of knee and told to rest it for 6 weeks. After passing note up he has to meet and discuss his condition. Dr. Seems unconcerned about prognosis, but I think worst case scenario can be surgery for some. Any feedback on what to expect...

My son had a PFT of 270, 3.6 GPA, wrestling, crew, Eagle scout, 31 ACT, 1450 SAT (math/verbal), national merit finalist. We are not a military family and this is a dream my son pursued independently of us (of course we were supportive). I think that drive and independence is attractive to...

Well I will definitely meet you for that drink.......and am glad to hear about the no tv rule.

My son did too...talked to Va Tech and they have him as well...can't believe we're finally here!

Very helpful. Figured there was no way she could juggle continuing to sort out transfers and confirm them all, etc.

Yep, that's what we thought - fax a response and check with school. You hate to be paranoid but......

Hi! My son accepted his NROTC transfer by email on Friday but has not received any sort of confirmation email. He is nervous because he has 3 business days to accept. Is there even a confirmation email?

My son was set on USNA but after attending summer seminar and wrestling camps there he came home and decided after much thoughtful consideration that he wanted what he felt was the best of both worlds - the opportunity to go to a military college but still have some of the options open to...

Thank you P -Flying 17 for all your work. We are all smiles. :)
