Great words of wisdom Mike! Our son is our one and only and we had him when I was 40 through the help of invetro. He has been the center of our lives for 18 years and the emotional tide this last year has been, can only be described as STRESS on STEROIDS. From the applications, to medically...

AMEN! GO NAVY----Beat Army!!! and lets pray for those who are about to embark on the greatest experience of their lives. Gods speed to all of them!

thanks so much for putting this together! This is very helpful and with our son being an only child, you have the bases covered and great words of wisdom!

Our son broke his foot TWICE the summer before his senior year and had pins/plates put in. He was medically DQ and then two of the SA requested a waiver and both were granted. Any notes and a letter from your surgeon/coach to DODMERB proved helpful. Thankfully, this summer our son will be on his...

Great source...thanks for sharing! I must tell you this forum has been a life saver and something that helps make the transition for our son and our family much easier.

Thanks for this info. I would love to see what the STATS are for the other SA

I love your icon ..where did you find that?

There is no doubt in my mind that "Hockeygirl" will do great things in life and soon a new journey will begin for you. May God bless you and keep you safe

Thanks DrMom...Navy has been our sons first choice since he was 8 years old. We were so thankful for the appointment from USMA, but his heart was still with USNA. When that offer came through...we knew the good Lord answered his prayers! Take care and best of luck

Actually after speaking with admissions they advised that last minute changes/declines will be offered based on needs of that SA. On some occasions, a candidate can be offered an appointment because of a cancellatio, all the way up to R/I-Day.

Our DS declined his USMA offer for the Class of 2021 this morning after receiving an appointment from another SA. For all those hoping for a spot with USMA, we are keeping our fingers crossed and prayers lifted that one of you will hear news today. If you accept USMA and then decline another...

Sometimes Gods plan A, is our plan B....same thing happened to our son. God knows what is best. God bless you and your family as you begin this new journey in life!

AMEN and well said!

Thanks for your candid responses OLD NAVY BGO. Like most retired Naval Officers and BGO's you have very strong opinions on issues and I am thankful my husband was able to share his, on this respectful forum. Now, Im speaking as a mom with no military experience, other than a spouse of a...

I too am an "Old BGO" and respectfully disagree. I can tell you in no uncertain terms, if I was interviewing any candidate and they informed me that they were not fully committed, they would not receive a TOP 5% rating. If she are not fully committed to USNA, then she should give it up! You...
