It will show up. There is no question I had a youthful indiscretion many years ago. I was given a Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. The understand was if I refrained from doing additional stupid stunts over the following 12 months it would be dismissed. I did and it was. Years...

Wow… I’m glad the military under Regan didn’t pull that crap when he was proposing Star Wars. I read a post earlier on a different thread where a very long term member discribed her posting process and how she carefully reviews each post to make sure it’s helpful, clear, does not come across...

I think it’s far from “best for all”. If the military are now evaluating presidents to determine which ones they should be loyal to and which they should not, our nation is in peril. I hope to God that is not true.

With the exception of the specific condition my son received the same letter last year. He went on to receive a waiver. Many candidates receive waivers each year but they are granted on a case by case basis. Some conditions are commonly waived others very rarely. I can’t offer any information...

Got it. Thanks!

Visitng during recognition is 100% off the table. Do you have dates for the 96 hours of leave you mentioned? I’m not seeing it on the academic calendar. Thanks

Great points. Thanks.

Good points. Glad I asked. Thanks

This year Recognition will begin Thursday 4/20 and end Saturday 4/22. I was considering visiting on Sunday afternoon to take my son out to lunch. Can anyone who’s been through it in the recent past let me know what that Sunday is like for the cadets. Would be an good time to leave base for a...
