Hoping to hear he gets that appointment!! FSU does not have NROTC, only Army and Air Force. He is a full time student at FSU and participates in the cross town option with FAMU's NROTC. The majority of 'rattler battalion' are made up of FSU students. I wish him the best...Your DS looks ideal...

What was the outcome of your situation? What a difference a year makes?

Career military spouse; DH 93 grad, DS received TWE for C/O 2019. Happy with plan B: ROTC FSU

I received an e-mail yesterday from a colleague whose DD (class of 2020) received her TWE this week. It brought back a flood of memories from this time last year when my DS (Class of 2019) received his. It caused me to take a moment to reflect on that time and what our family went through. I...

Should letters of recommendation come from HS teachers or College Profs?

Sent you a PM. Thanks!

t I absolutely don't mind answering your questions, as I wondered the exact same thing about every TWE that has posted. You nailed it! We are in Pensacola...hello cradle of aviation! And, between two major Air Force bases. So, heavy military kid competition here. The reason I believe he...

Mailbox stalking has ended for us today in Florida. TWE received. This is especially tough as DH is an alumni and 20 year retiree. DS was 3Q, 4.0, 29 ACT, maxed out CFA, president of this, captain of that, a NASS attendant, triple nominated and a legacy. Tough to see that big heart break right...

TWE here today too. Heavy hearts

Absolute truth spoken here! Congratulations to ALL who got far enough to get a TWE or a BFE! You are the finest.

I'm surprised he wasn't offered NAPS as that is what it's in place for. Maybe your BGO could pull that string but not sure.

When did you hear that you were appointed and off the wait list? Thanks for the reply!

If one makes it to the National Pool, is that where we see that one in two (assuming one agrees this is roughly the breakdown) chance of an appointment?

"... Not to mention, some people can't stand the wait, and it helps them deal with it." Welcome to the Navy! Don't even get me started on the years we waited for BUPERS to tell us where we would be in two weeks. Learn to deal with the wait now, it only gets worse from here.

Does March see more BFE's or TWE's? Just read a post where someone said that because it's March, they can expect the TWE again. I thought March was when most of the BFE's would go out? Am I missing something? Have most who will be appointed, already been so?

DS got a TWE in the mail today stating that he was academically qualified and was on Hold and on the waiting list. What does that mean? Bad?

A letter of Assurance! Fantastic Kayaker! This is wonderful news and what an honor to serve in the United States Navy, via the U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY! Congratulations to all of your family.

I know this wont be the most popular thing to do but I'm trying to get DS focused on Plan B! We talk about dorm assignments, roommates, ROTC programs, athletic events (He will be cheering for FSU if a TWE comes) and thinking about cheering for a division one team is very exciting for all of us...

I'm so glad to read both of these points! I assumed that since our DS didn't hear anything 'early' that the time for Presidential appointment had come and gone. Also glad to hear that a denied NROTC national scholarship does not equal a denied USNA appointment! Hanging on to hope!
