    physical for I- Day

    Have you looked into your county's health dept.? That was going to be my plan if DS was not able to get his shots from his former pediatrician. How the insurance would work I have no idea. But, as it has been said, he can receive them on I day although he may add sore arms to everything else...

    Don't want parents on I-Day.

    From a mom From a mom's perspective, remember this is also one of their proudest moments as well. Seeing you fulfill your dreams. I myself can hardly wait to see my son walk through the doors of Alumni Hall. He, like you, has worked extremely hard to get where you are. I know that is not...

    Permit to report

    TB form Thanks for the heads up. Are you all also missing the tuberculin skin test form as well? DS is away at college and I am trying to be sure everything is together for when he gets back. We live 30 miles from USNA and didn't get the packet until today. Guess they mailed them to the West...

    How and When to Withdraw Scholarship

    DS was very fortunate to receive a NROTC scholarship last year. His dream has been to attend the USNA. He was rejected last year, but this year he reapplied and was accepted. Yeah! he is super excited. My question is, at what point is the scholarship sacrificed? Is it when he accepts the...

    wisdom teeth

    I also was wondering whether the wisdom teeth were required to come out. Took DS to the dentist recently, she said his wisdom teeth were all they way in and she didn't recommend removing them. Can you keep'em? I kind of don't want to do anything to his body that I don't have to. I'm getting...

    BFE???

    BFE arrived too!! Love the story. That was great. The BFE arrived at our house today. DS knew is it was being put in the mail so there was no surprise there. The surprise was getting a call from the congressman's office on Tuesday. We also didn't expect to hear anything for awhile. He is 5...

    JROTC/ROTC nomination slots

    Member LG- Are you sure they go into the national waitlist? It has been stated in these forums before, I think by Mongo, that the ROTC nominations don't go into the national pool. We are in MD-7. I have the same concern as the OP. Last year I was told he might not get a nom from the Rep...

    If you got a TWE and are reapplying...

    What we learned was receiving Bs in English and Math, even though they were in AP classes, was his only weakness. He did take the NROTC scholarship. He just started at Virginia Tech. We are from Maryland's 7th district. Too late to move to a less competative area. He did not receive a MOC...
