Reflection..... News wasn't what DS hoped for—Plan B in place and moving forward with ROTC. As a parent, I can only say wow! What a process to watch him go through to even get through the application, interviews, etc... This forum has been so helpful as a parent to share and read others'...

My DS will most likely be joining you at Auburn on the AF side of the building....

My only input is to be absolutely committed that your DS is the point of the spear... don't ever contact anyone on his behalf (other than this forum) when needing q's answered, etc. Remember as a parent we are our children's support (good and bad times), and not the ones pursuing these goals and...

Each MOC and Senator have 5 designated spots at each academy. If there are two open slots for this coming year (example: a previous appointee left the academy their junior year leaving a "extra" spot), then a MOC or Sen. can appoint two applicants for the respective academy (attached to them to...

Many athletes are recruited and sign with the academies. They don't need a MOC or Senator (directly). For instance, there are 7 athletes from your home state of Georgia who have committed to Westpoint this fall to play football. In addition to those 5, several more HS students will be appointed...

The MOC and Senator noms are not used for recruited athletes... There's is a different path.

CFA calculator says borderline... if you pass it will be just barely. The calculator is just a guess...

It should be banned.... however there's some really funny stuff on tik-tok... really creative people in our world...

Get a “ok to fully participate” form filled out by your hip doc and hand in (with your DodMerb application), and show the doc who’s administrating you your physical.

For those of you tracking timelines for DODMERB results.... DS had med. and vision exam completed 11/5/22 and received "qualified" notice today.

According to the CFA "calculator," your score is "at risk" (even with the minimum mile allotted on the calculator of 8:06). Your mile and pullup are obviously light. If everything was the same except if you could move to 10 pull-ups and move your mile time down to 7:30, you would be...

The USMA "calculator" comes back "at risk" with the above scores... hang 18 sec. (vs. 8.6), and it moves to "pass", with everything else the same.... * remember this is just an estimate of how it would score...not a fact. You got this!

You passed....

According to the "calculator", your score above is "at risk" meaning it may or may not pass... taking your mile down to 7:20 and adding one more pull-up gets you to the "pass" category... I would echo what others are saying and get that mile run time down... don't leave anything on the track.
