    NROTC scholarship notification

    Today, DS found out he was offered 4-yr NROTC at Nova. Huge relief, and he deserves, like the rest of the candidates, to really enjoy what's left of senior year. Hope everyone still waiting gets what they've worked for! Plan A still looms, but plan B is pretty great.

    BFE finally arrived!

    mdn18, Thanks. My surprise stems from PA MOC's directly telling us that they collaborate to nominate as many as possible, and not cross-nominate...even the republican congressman's liason talks to the democrat senator's people. Best of luck. We're in District 15.

    BFE finally arrived!

    gmemgoch, What district in PA? I was under the impression PA senators and congresspeople collaborated to spread out nom's. DS has a Congressional, sadly not a principle one. And...congratulations!
