For those of you who have a son or daughter at one of the academies ~ how do you handle income taxes? Do you list them as a dependant or do they file seperate? I need to start thinking about next year. Thanks

Daniel had a great time. He logged into his NC State account and saw that he was also accepted into the biomedical engineering school. He enjoyed the moment, but said he is still going to USNA. You might want to go to College Confident and get an account. It has all the colleges there. You...

Vicky, have you heard anything yet?

My son was also there. Ditto to Jerzgirl's comment. Yes, she and I did meet. It is a small world and this forum helped to make it possible.

Jerzgirl, I am going to be there with my son too. Driving him there. On the shoes I have heard either, but a response from one of the plebes or mids would be nice. Thanks for the comment about the sleeping bag. Sure will make things easier.

Would it be ok to bring a sleeping bag instead of sheets?

Congressman Jones was on the phone today calling all his nominations to extend congratulations.... Not only did he talk with each recipient, but also the parents too. It was a nice touch!

Thanks for the replies. Guess I will antie up the $20 a day to park and call it even. Just trying to research my options. No harm in asking if you don't know.

I think the NASS does not open until Feb. 1 at 12:01 am.......

Mr Mullens is the man! His contact information is listed on the DoDMERB thread. He will probally chime in here anytime now.

USNA1985 - well stated. I agree with you. All SA are outstanding in their own way - from one year to another there are differences. I am not going to discredit another school because it happens not to be my choice.

Can you research in past years to see what the "average" ACT scores were? All I have paid attention to was the SAT. Sorry that I can not be of any help.

I went thru and click on each of these. Some of them received more than one SA nomination. The one from NC State is a friend of mine and he needed a waiver last year - it come too late. This year everything should be in place for him to attend USNA. That would be great a for me since his...

Congressman Jones' nominations are posted at his website. Congratulations to all who received one.
