A Navy coach recruiting my son told him he had to make an early decission. Son talked it over with us and decided he's rather lose the Navy spot than give up going with his dream. Navy Coach replied saying that he'd never get a naval appointment if he didn't agree to accept it if it was offered...

So can I add on since my son is at USAFA prep or should I wait until April/May when they wil finally make the appointments official for the prep students.

USAFA Prep school-what I've seen Based on info given on I-Day and at the Parents weekend briefings- it seems about 70-80% of the prep kids are recruited athletes-keep in mind that they field a football team as well as other sports both male and female. About 20-30% are prior enlisted. Most...

Hi, So the paperwork says to bring official h.s. transcripts. The school says they can mail them to whoever but they aren't allowed to give them to anyone. Counselor says that is standard policy at all the high schools. What have others done about this? emcs
