The letter specifies concerns over the stress of the academy and deployment. Right now we are clarifying whether this disqualifies him from future military service at all. I really doubt he would be OKed for ROTC or post-college officer training based on the letter and our conversations with the...

Got that letter from the waiver committee. Rebuttal is possible but.... basically have to PROVE to AFA waiver committee that something did not happen. Good luck with that. A bitter moment--we did the right thing for DS, the MD he saw had incomplete notes so the waiver committee can only assume...

Twins/triplets etc......

Let me say I am glad you are not in our district. :eek::wink::shake:

Agreed. We already have the backup schools in pocket with scholarships. AFROTC and AFA are the primary plan--waiting for what you really want..........builds character?:rolleyes:

It seems that recruited athletes are also in the LOA club.

OK, Gotta brag. DS had his interview today. Went VERY well. One of the 4 panel members told DW that she has an amazing son. Then....gave her a big hug. We were told the slate will be released in February. More waiting..............

He will still play. Just not for the school.

We are getting the details worked out but he will be out of band next semester. He will then be free to pursue Robotics and put more energy into his 3 AP and 1 IB classes this year. There will also be more time to put into volunteering. A much more predictable schedule. I can't begin to count...

As a dentist....a real one....not just on TV....I have to say, DON'T. I have seen so many broken/chipped teeth and infections of piercings I have lost count. I have read a lot of stories on here of kids getting hurt and uncertain of making it to the first day after all that work. Why risk it...

Our DD is VERY tired of the AFA stuff. We have not even gotten to the MOC interview yet........

It is just stupid on their part. This is a concrete, current example (and we WILL use it) of why DS needs to be out of that band. He is lead snare, plays at church, just a great kid. Maybe he'll go for DC at the AFA. We will see. Gotta get there first!! His AFROTC applic is all in too. He will...

More drama OMG!!! You will not believe this. Or maybe you will..... DS has MOC interview Dec 11. That day is the fine arts festival at high school. My DS, being in band and being responsible, let the band director know of the conflict a week ago. Today the director informed DS and the other...

Thanks for all of your input and advice. My uncertainty was how to handle it with AFA--Stealth81 is absolutely right. As far as the school/band goes. I don't know all of it either and I am involved. :confused: I do know that to drop any other class you just drop it. To get out of theatre or...
