I have not heard any new acceptances in awhile. It seems like Tuesday is the day. Anyone hear anything today?

JennyP, our DS's are in same company and my son's phone works just fine (we have V-r-zon). I understand their company is split between two floors. I wonder if our DS's are on different floors then. We usually communicate via text messaging anyways.

My advisor when I was in med school was a triple amputee (lost both legs and one arm in an accident while she was in residency). She went on to become a radiologist and an amazing source of inspiration! Prayers being said daily for Nick in this USNA household!

DS and roommates kept their camping/backpacking supplies above their ceiling tiles during their plebe year. DS had acoustic guitar in his room plebe year and this year (younster year) has his electric guitar that he uses with headphones. He did ask his chain of command before bringing this...

We are from one of the very competitive states and we were told that nominations would not be duplicated. DS had LoA so he knew he only needed one nomination. DS received phone call from Congressman stating that he had been planning on giving him the nomination but that he had heard from Senator...

Looks like eheart is spamming the forum. All of his/her posts are reprints of other's posts!

Dating within your company is against the rules, but does happen. ( Usually they try to keep it hush hush.) If a couple is dating, one of the members of the couple is supposed to apply for a "love chit" where they are moved to another company so that they can continue dating.

I can tell you what happened in DS's case 2 summers ago. Looking through old emails I found that on July 21st he received an email from one of the USMA admissions officer that said "You have a very strong file and I’d like to submit your name for a potential letter of assurance. In order to...

Summer1942 I sent you a PM. Best of luck!

DS received his LoA to USMA in July 2009. This was before the Portal was open. Early in July 2009 he received a phone call from one of the admissions officers asking him to get his high school transcripts faxed to admissions as he was being considered for an LoA. Shortly after they received his...

Right outside of Gate 1 there is a Moes Burrito place. Since DS loves Mexican food we ran over there right before the swearing in ceremony and picked up some burritos. We made sure to have a waterproof blanket for him to sit on, lots of napkins and a Tide-to-go pen in case of spills!!

I agree with the above posters. 2 summers ago, DS ran into a similar situation, with a counselor being out of the office. DS had sent the information early on to his counselor, but they didn't take care of it. While DS was off in Europe for a couple of weeks, he had his emails forwarded to...
