    USNA waiting for yield results

    Second Time on the Roller Coaster

    DS received his 2nd congressional nomination just before Christmas and now it's back to the waiting game. It's hard to believe that a year has already passed since we were in this position, but here we are again! Is is just me or is it less nerve wracking this time around?

    Second Time on the Roller Coaster

    We dropped DS off at school yesterday and although it was difficult to say goodbye we know he will be in good hands. We were very impressed with the way the Corps of Cadets handled the whole in-processing and the meetings with the CO of his NROTC unit as well as the Commandant left us feeling...

    Meeting w/ Dean of Admissions

    My DS is a reapplicant and his BGO called and told him the Dean wanted to meet with him and two other candidates also reapplying. Our state is large and VERY competitive, especially our region so I am sure there are more than just my DS and the other two candidates reapplying. We (parents) were...

    Second Time on the Roller Coaster

    Yes, we definitely had/have the same concerns - especially since DS will be going to another sr. military school and participating in the Corps. I talked to a TWE recipient from Class of 2017 who attended the same school my DS will be attending and also was in the same unit DS will be in and...
