    NROTC Decisions

    My son received the NROTC ISR scholarship too which does let you choose your school. Very few are given! Ultimately my son chose to accept his appointment to USNA and is now a plebe but it is a real thing. Congrats!!!

    USNA Majors

    He chose Systems Engineering. He was also very interested in Cyber, but thought he could work some cyber classes into his Systems major plan.

    USNA Majors

    Yesterday was the day the plebes selected their majors although you do have until Thursday I think to make it official. It was a pretty exciting day for everyone. You were able to put in 3 choices. My son entered his first thing in the morning and his first choice was approved by 10am. USNA had...

    Schoolmate Appointed, Am I doomed?

    We had 7 from our congressional district last year. None were recruited athletes and one was from NAPS. I have no idea how the academy assigned all the nominations because our congressman only had one opening and only one had a second nomination from one of our state senators. The academy...

    NASS Application Deadline?

    Oh yes you can...especially when it comes to test scores and available dates. My plebe updated his with new test scores and my candidate hopeful just talked to his admission counselor and changed dates around. Basically they don't want you rewriting essays and such. Send it in. Your receipt...

    Plebe Privileges

    Our mid banked his weekend for when we come with his grandparents AirForce weekend! (just in case) We were there for the Colgate game and that was a fun weekend too! Much more relaxed versus PPW!

    Candidate Number

    Just FYI: Last year my son received his candidate number with his NASS paperwork also. During the summer we received a letter saying that many numbers in our area had to be changed and my son was issued a new number. I know there was a reason but I can't recall why. Too much other information to...

    2019 Permit to Report (PTR) Packages?

    Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better. I was just worried everything would be out in the open. Sorry, just had a neurotic mom moment yesterday watching my son go through ALL that paperwork! Probably won't be my last either! :)

    2019 Permit to Report (PTR) Packages?

    I have a question about some of the documents they are to take with them. The packet says they need to bring their social security card and it was already talked about somewhere to bring their birth certificate just in case for I-day. Also we went ahead and ordered a passport. So do they keep...

    Any NASS waitlisters out there?

    My DS was wait listed for NASS last year and received a spot the beginning of May. He also could only attend session 1. It's not over until you receive the rejection letter. :)

    SLE Dilemma

    My son went to all three last summer. He enjoyed all of them for different reasons and in the end it helped him decide which academies he wanted to focus on. From a mom's point of view, he did seem a little tired by the time he hit the third one but he rallied. He was very glad he went to all...

    Updating USNA Summer Seminar

    When my son was trying for NASS last year he did update his application with admissions when he received his new ACT scores. He was initially wait listed but then received a spot. He also went from NASS to West Point SLE and we just washed his clothes at a hotel laundromat in between. He enjoyed...

    Appointment Acceptance-USNA Acknowledgement?

    We haven't heard anything more either. We did receive his birth certificate back in the mail, but nothing else in the envelope. I know what you're feeling as I was wishing for some acknowledgement that his acceptance was received as it still doesn't feel real at times!!! Can't wait to receive...

    Bfe in Ohio

    My son's BFE arrived today! Just waiting on school to be over now! They had said it was going to be mailed out Monday, pretty fast considering we live in a rural area and don't even have mail service everyday.
