That’s wonderful, I’m so happy for your son! And you!! It is a very stressful process but we’ve waited this long, what’s another week right, haha. I will say I see so much growth and maturity in my son this year already, so it’s a win. He told us yesterday he’ll have to take a summer class...
Yes I heard the same thing from mine. They ran out of time because a SWO nuke was briefing them, which tracks with every SWO nuke I know 😆. I kid… kinda. Anyway he just told us they were notified in their Naval Science class today and that it was entirely based on GPA. Which I find frustrating...
Hub’s current command has a SEAL for their deputy commander (1 star). Can’t say for sure if it’s him or a generalization of the community but he’s very calm, very humble, friendly but keeps to himself outside of work mostly. Kind…. Good sense of humor. He’s very well known to have the exact...
well we keep waiting because no announcement yet... CO says "it's still held up" but I'm not sure where. We've perfected the hurry up and wait mentality by now 😜
My DS seems to think their's (VTCC) will be announced this afternoon as they were waiting for more people to clear dodmerb waivers. We're 8 time zones ahead but I'm definitely staying up to hear from him! 🤞🤞🤞
Totally understand that chip! It's a great motivator. And I'm glad they do these little samples of what's to come, so important the kids get a real chance to decide for themselves it's really what they want to pursue. Hopefully several of them who have been so close and worked hard already...
Oh that definitely all tracks with what I'm hearing too. Retention has always been an interesting ebb and flow over the course of my 20+ years married into this. My husband's command is undermanned big time, trying to stave off a war in the Red Sea and they are exhausted. People leave these...
Thank you! pulling for your DS as well! we're still waiting but mine was told they had to decide by March 1. Not sure who makes that rule or why. I don't even know if my son had an interview this time. @Ihavenoidea it is a bit of a mystery!
I’m sorry! I must have missed the notification from you. Anyway, my understanding is yeah it will cover the second semester of freshman year and if he doesn’t get it, can still aim for the 3yr sideload. We actually found out today he received his dodmerb waiver! This feels huge after a massive...

A good outlook to be sure and you will all be fine! I think I can say roughly 50% of the time things work out just as you hope, you just never know which 50, haha 😂
