DS is the same build as you and was a cross country runner through high school and middle school. He decided he wanted a change of sport and my niece, a 2nd class who is in womens first boat, told him that crew was very cool and was easy to walk on. He soon dicovered that her info was right and...

There is a lot of yelling and some changed minds while inside Alumni and Bancroft Halls.

Last few weeks with my DS is flying by. Make it stop, I want more time:eek:

NASS is absolutely a recruiting tool and a very good one. My DS went to NASS to "Feel it out" as well. His first choice was actually Virginia Tech Corp of Cadets NROTC, hence my username, where he had been twice already. When I picked him up after NASS, he didn't want to talk about going...

Not locked out, just worried about getting things done. I didn't know how flexible the "two weeks" are, as well as all other paperwork dates. Just about finished with everything. Also instructions say not to use a calculator for math placement tests, does that include the calc.

DS has missed the two week time window for completing his online validation tests. Does anyone have any insight into what the repercussions will be? We seem to have done everything in reverse order. Paperwork due on the 24th(easiest to complete) went out first, due on 15th overnighted to arrive...

Same boat OP what did USNA advise? My DS is in same boat, we are in a rural area and the skin tests were on alternating weeks but only Monday shot with Wed. check. Which made him have to send a overnight on the 15th. We made sure that package had to bee signed on delivery. Didn't know what else...

Thanks for advice:wink: Will try to chill out.

Is anyone else having a problem with senioritis? DS has only one required class for graduation but is also taking AP Calc to prepare for next year. He says he is having a very difficult time focusing on his academics and physical fitness. Still has decent grades (mid to high B) but nothing like...
