I remember it like it was yesterday. Daily portal checks, making sure we answered our phone from any number any time of day. This isn’t easy but hang in there! Please feel free to ask the questions that you have been reluctant to elsewhere. My daughter owned the process from beginning to end...

The best words of advice our DD (class of ‘23) got from her BGO were “forget about an LOA”. Her focus was on the Appointment from day 1. Her applicant number was in the 20s, her app went CPR on 8/22/18, and she got the call from our MOC on 3/21/19. Best of luck to you!

When will the official numbers for class size and composition be made public?

DD continues to run and CrossFit 6 days a week. And in they 7th day? We SHOOT!

Good! Don’t give up.

Why have you given up?

Are plebes able to?

Thursday, 3/21, is a day that our family will remember forever. My DD’s MOC called to inform her of her appointment. All the hard work, all of the sacrifices, all the training, had finally paid off. She did it. She has wanted nothing more since she was 12 years old than to be a Midshipman. We...
