Wow, first thoughts of concern are for his parents? Child pornography is not a victimless crime. The children involved are victimized every time their image is transferred to another person. This cadet did not have pictures of his 17 year old girlfriend. It's very difficult for me to imagine...

Huh?? Where are you getting your news? It was an Iranian shoot AT. They missed.
Update in developments - have fun speculating:
Investigation began when a woman contacted the FBI because some anonymous person was sending harassing/threatening emails. That person turned out to be Paula...
Not quite. If you take money from the State Guard then you will also be committed to the NG in that State. If you take Federal money from NG then you have the option of choosing between NG and Reserves. My daughter took the Federal tuition assistance while contracted in the NG and still went...
DODMERB is a physical exam and an eye exam. There is no PT - that is covered in a separate PT test specific to the program to which you are applying.
The medical test is a standard physical exam. Be prepared to undress. There is also a reading component and you will be asked to read a...
The Academies and ROTC will notify DODMERB and you should receive communication - either letter or email from DODMERB that your waiver is approved.
You also should receive communication from the Academy or ROTC.
When/if you are granted a waiver for one officer accession program then the other...
