    Tattoo

    DS has no tattoos but his cousin self-inked a cross on his hand when he was much younger at a bible camp. He had it removed because his recruiter mentioned it was visible and needed to go. Now, to enlist, he is having to get many character references, submit photos of the former ink job, etc...

    SLE acceptance

    The email says to respond if you decline and to sit tight for further instructions in the next couple of weeks if you accept. I wouldn't read too much into that time frame though as it may take some longer to decline if they cannot work out the dates.

    USNA Summer Seminar 2013

    Might be worth a quick email follow-up. It took over a week for the pay site to allow us to pay but the confirmation from Admissions was pretty quick after the payment finally processed.

    USNA Summer Seminar 2013

    The letter comes a few days after the email notification. TWE with "Department of the Navy" return address. A nice scrapbook keeper for the Moms.

    Social Networking Restrictions(facebook post)

    Agree with all of the above. My student simply dumped facebook as it is too easy for someone else to tag her/him inappropriately. There are other ways to keep in touch with friends that pose less risk of harm to your reputation.

    Ah yes, the never-ending "Chances?" threads.

    Your GPA/class rank situation is likely similar to my DS. The school uses the weighted GPA (extra quality points on Honors/AP/IB classes of varying amounts) to rank the students within the class. This prevents #1 from taking the weakest schedule to make first and then you have a bunch of kids...

    USNA Summer Seminar 2013

    My DS received his acceptance this morning as well! Super excited. He completed his application around 1am on the 17th and we were pleasantly surprised by the quick response.

    Medical Question

    Thanks Thanks for the advice. This is what I thought but we don't want to have everything ready to go early and then fall behind on medical.

    Medical Question

    What medical records are required for the DODMERB physical? My candidate has no "yes" answers to record other than one that can be handled with the records from an ENT (tonsils out as a kid) so should we expect to track down records from other providers? We do not have one doctor that has...
