Ted and Gladys - Congratulations on your DD's receipt of the LOA. My DS received a LOA in January, nomination in March and is now part of the Class of 2019 at USNA. But he also received a National NROTC authorship to University of California San Diego, and was accepted as a student there. His...

Capt. MJ bless you for being a sponsor parent. I know my Mid/Plebe loves his! Thank you for what you do!!

FYI....cruel joke, but the LOA comes in a TWE as well.

My DS received a LOA early this year for the Class of 2019. As stated by others the LOA is nice to have. The number I've heard is 150 also. But I also "heard" LOA's are done in December. My DS received his in January. LOA's come in a TWE, so our hearts dropped when we received it. When he...

My DS received his NROTC scholarship to UCSD (first choice) 1st Tier Engineering last week. He's already accepted his appointment to USNA, but it's nice to have this in the back pocket in the event the bubble wrap doesn't work.

Where in So Cal are you guys? And congratulations!!

There's a video of USNA on YouTube and it shows the board actually meeting. Someone goes through your package and discuss the highlights and then the board votes, green=yes, red=no and yellow=hold until next board/wait list. From what they discussed it seemed to be leadership, sports, community...

It'll be 80 in So Cal today. Wish we had a little of that snow on our local mountains so we could go skiing. Weird, hot winter out her on the left coast. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Can the position of coxswain be taught? I joke with my DS that he should try out for crew. He's 115 soaking wet. We're actually trying to put more weight on him in preparation for PS but it's a battle with his metabolism and him playing soccer and running to get ready for PS. But he's never...

He's also accused of over stepping his power. With the 3 year window he is saying, I want this until the end of my Presidency and then 45 can take it over. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Just a quick note. When submitting documents to DODMERB scan them if you can and email them to the help desk. IMO they are processed FASTER than snail mail or fax. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app
