I agree completely. He helped me with a question this morning. So incredibly helpful and generous with his time.

Thank you. My husband doesn’t have military experience, but has many very successful colleagues who took the route your son is considering. Best to him.

Great advice. Thank you

Thank you all. I think he’s decided against applying to a SA. He’s interested in the military, but also wants more of a traditional college experience. Obviously, we have a lot of research to do. He’s our oldest, so we’re completely new to navigating the transition from high school to college...

Thank you so much. It’s red/green. Dad is a lawyer and he‘s most interested in the JAG Corp. We’ve been surprised by the interest in the military, but want to support him and definitely see the advantages of getting military experience. My father was career army and I’m encouraging him to go...

Hi, My high school junior is considering ROTC in college. He’s most interested in the Navy or Air Force. Will the fact that he’s colorblind disqualify him? He’s not interested in being a pilot. Thank you

My son is a high school junior and has decided not to apply to a SA. He has decided to pursue the Navy or Air Force ROTC options at an Ivy (hopefully). He wants to serve his country and loves the idea of possibly living abroad. He has a very tough course load, 4.9 GPA, top 6% of his class, and...

I genuinely appreciate your input. Ultimately, it will be up to my son to refine his goals and decide what he needs to do to make them happen. The idea of him pursuing this direction makes me proud of him and scared for him at the same time. He’s a young man to everyone else, but he’s my...

Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful response.

I don’t disagree with you. My son brought up the topic of attending a service academy. He’s going to be the primary navigator of this process and like most teenagers doesn’t want me to barrage him with questions. I don’t know a lot about the process and am trying to do my own research on the...

You would have to know more about our district to understand the perspective. We don’t have any “Academy grads” in our family. My son’s goals don’t involve checking boxes. Never have and never will. He can stand on his own merits and will put in the necessary work to do more than just ”pass” the...

*Congratulations!

Thank you and congratulation!!
