Do you have to repay advance if you seperate? Dd seperated from West Point a month after beast. Does she have to repay her advance?

When my dd attended her interview with our moc they were impressed that she had visited the sa and had spent time with a plebe. She told them about her experience and I'm certain this helped her secure her nom.

My dd was in a similar situation. She is a recruited athlete for xc and track. She was dq'd and later was granted a waiver. One of the things that helped her is that she hadn't been on a inhaler for a year and her dr reversed his diagnosis of athletic induced asthma and wrote a letter to that...

I commend TPG for keeping his legs off to show the severity of the situation in Afghanistan. As a w-c user myself I find your comment insulting to all disabled people.

My dd is a recruited athlete for usma. She really liked her plan b school and the coach held her spot until the middle of April. My dd was dq'ed for using an inhaler and went through the waiver process. We let the plan b coach know what was up and he was very patient throughout it all. I even...

My husband has been working on the lemv program for over 2 years. He is very excited that it's first flight was a success. Here's the CNN report: http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/10/armys-all-seeing-super-blimp-makes-debut-flight/

Not sure which sport you play but if the coach decides to recruit you that could be your edge. Recruited athletes have a separate admissions process.

I'm not sad and have no beef with you. I was just stating that you're not a parent and I'm sorry you didn't get your appointment. Best of luck to you.

Rocky B is not a parent he is a cadet candidate who apparently didn't get accepted this time around.

Are you her sargeant ? :eek:

I'm guessing that every sergeant handles the nc's differently. My daughter has been highly complimentary of her sergeant. She says he's extremely generous and gives them plenty of time to eat and gave them 90 minutes to bond in barracks one night and he has even given them candy. Today we got an...

This post isn't sitting great with me either. My dd is currently at beast. She did 2 overnight visits and didn't complain and so far hasn't complained in her cards home. Uf has older dorms without ac and that's FL albeit north Florida. The worse is the roaches. I'm hoping they aren't the...

I had LASIK done and was slightly undercorredted so I wouldn't have to wear glasses for reading. However as the years went on my myopia has returned and once again I'm not seeing so well. I did the procedure 8 years ago and wasn't told had to wait until your vision stabilized. I' considering...

When my dd interviewed with our moc she was told her nom could only be used for 1 academy. Your state may be less competitive but in FL you didn't have the option to apply to more than one school.
