With West Point just down the road, close enough we hear the artillery when they shoot, and knowing that R-Day is in process, I'm excited for the class of 2025 but torn as well. DS didn't get is TWE until late May making him probably one of the last batches to not get selected. But he is...

I know one TWE - QNS that would gladly replace one those that will drop out of this coming CBT. :)

Check your portals this morning... :(

Big batch of TWEs going out... DS got one this morning. Plan B is a national scholarship to a great university.

is wondering if this first Tuesday after the med waiver deadline is going to be week they come off NWL?

DS is 6' 8", cant wait to see the reaction he gets.....and what scale they use for that one. I asked him are you sure the army? We always joked in a school shooter situation he would say--- yeah where am I going to hide? I guess I'll just fight.

heard so many different stories of mail, portal, email, call, no call -- just figure everyday that DS doesnt get a TWE its a good thing not a bad thing.

Somehow when I shipped my last package with the USPS I must have signed up for a new thing called "Informed Delivery". Now I get an email every morning with scans of the mail that is coming later that day. So I know that today, at 7:30am, no TWE is coming. Not sure how I signed up....but...

Son is close to a helicopter rating, hopefully finishing that helps in branch assignments...with the obvious strive for the the best score overall as possible.

Another day of mail and no TWE.... No news is good news.

I became best friends with our school district Superintendent. So many emails to him about how important it was to keep that test date! I got the following "I certainly had your family in mind when we were working out the details of opening for the SAT's. I am glad to hear it went well...

Another day that WP didnt say no. At this point figure we are waiting until after April 15 and May 1st. So I just tell the DS to put on his boots and go for a hike...cause either WP or his ROTC unit means that the boots need to be broken in. :) Plan B is solid with Deposits ready to go...

Virtual or in person, be thankful - last year was the first time it was canceled outright.

Dont worry, I thought I was too when I entered the military ----- you will get hungry enough that you will eat what they provide.

My DS selected Syracuse starting in the Fall.
