Hey there, So if the OP is an American citizen, then I believe that you can still contact DoDMERB and schedule something for free. It is definitely procedural that all American citizens (home or abroad) can get their medical test done for free. However, I think it will be very unlikely that...

Good point, but colleges ask "has your parent ever attended college", not "has your parent ever obtained a reputable degree". I guess it could go both ways.

Sep 1, 2009 - 22 May 2015 without a word... :eek: o_O :D

"Patriots filibustering the Patriot Act, who would've thunk it?"

the helicopter at :40 is literally a banana.

If you aren't medically cleared by DoDMERB because of a DQ, a CGA rep will notify you when your medical status is updated (i.e. you get a waiver) -- only after all of this happens will you get the biggie in the mail. PM me if you have any q's -- literally I was your situation just last week...

After all it is the government...

^yep, and to add roughly 30% of the incoming class attends aim -- in regards to how many of that 70% applied and didn't get in or didn't apply at all is unclear, but statistics are statistics and a deferral from aim should by NO MEANS be indicative of 2020 application performance.

Based upon my experience, if you currently have 2 conditional appointment (pending 2 waivers), then you technically can't accept either appointments. In other words they don't send you papers to sign unless you are given a waiver. Additionally, once given the waiver (which can happen well...

Yo! Go for it! Although every transition to college should be celebrated, USMA is definitely special in that freedom to travel will be restricted somewhat during his next 4 years -- so Fiji, Japan, Hawaii, Aus, the other Aus, whatever -- take him there! (but for right now and for the sake of...

A while ago, but on the new format, I was able to directly link a gif to a posting, without there having to be a link, but I can't do that anymore. Was this changed, or am I just doing something wrong?

Don't you mean telekinetic?

Cool history, but Japan didn't have nuclear weapons, which I guess was sort of your point. Is your point that nations with nuclear weapons will never fight each other? I'm not sure about that. Sure nations stockpile nukes for political reasons, but given enough pressure and circumstances, I'm...

And yeah... The economy newspaper didn't mention the rich history behind the end of the ussr because it's an economy newspaper.
