Thank you! She was humbled and invigorated by her NSI experience and has been working her tail off this summer but shew! This last week has been something.

Yes! Thank you and thanks to @AROTC-dad I know it's "normal but it's definitely no fun for anyone in the house.

Is it just me? Please tell me it's not just me. My hard-working, responsible, driven kid who will begin her NROTC journey at Virginia Tech next week is driving me NUTS! She has been replaced by a sullen, disrespectful, adolescent unengaged in preparations for college and just generally a PIA. I...

When we asked our daughter if she excelled at anything at NSI she responded yes. The Dis had commended her for her skills at....body dragging 😂

That seems to be up in the air still. COVID meant no the past two years but at last check no determination has been made for this year. Definitely a challenge for a planner!

Thank you. And congratulations...hang in there!

Ohhhh I wish I hadn't read this! Now there could maybe, perhaps, although extremely unlikely be a glimmer of hope? Were both updates via portal or also by email? I'm afraid DD has not been checking her email as regularly as I'd like since the TWE-understandably, but still...

DD sent priority mail, no signature required. But it had a tracking number so there was the reassurance that it was in fact delivered.

I’d start with your pediatrician’s office and hospital of birth. You were likely tested at birth and they have the results. If I’m not mistaken you MAY submit your packet without the sickle cell information and will be tested upon arrival (but your participation will be delayed). If you test...

Ugh-hoping for the best for both of you.
