    Southwest Regional Commander

    Sorry to see him go... We will be sorry to see CPT Srinivasan go. He's been very helpful through my DS's 2nd time around. I guess this is fairly typical as it is the Army afterall. If they need him somewhere else, he goes! Good luck sir!

    USMA Class of 2017 Acceptance Thread

    Got the Call! I got the call from our MOC's office this morning! Congressman Sessions will be tracking my DS down this afternoon to give him the good news! I assume the BFE will arrive today or tomorrow'ish here in Texas. The 2nd time around is as exciting as the 1st time. Our road has been a...

    USMA Class of 2017 Acceptance Thread

    Such an awesome sight! Seeing all those packets is a visual reminder of what a monumental task Admissions embarks upon each and every year. We should all be grateful for the hard work and dedication of that team to ensure another strong class of West Point cadets will be joining the Long Grey...

    Count Down!

    As I look back on our 2-year journey through this process, I am reminded of a favorite quote that sums up the whole experience... "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and...

    High school graduation ceremony

    Our MOC's Service Academy coordinator and a LT. COL. (retired) USMA grad came to present appointments at our DS's senior end of school assembly. They do this every year and it is quite a memorable experience. MY DS decided his freshman year that he wanted to go to a service academy after 6...

    2013 Calendar: When is R-day for the Class of 2017?

    Regarding the bubble wrap... wish I could figure out a way to do that. DS is currently in the Corps of Cadets at Texas A & M and is a member of a special Ranger unit...uggg. He told me the other day that he competed in a O-course competition this last weekend. We've already told him there will...

    2013 Calendar: When is R-day for the Class of 2017?

    I can honestly say that the support and encouragement that we have received on this forum was so helpful. The drama of an injury is bad enough. Losing the appointment 2 weeks after receiving it was heartbreaking. Not getting the waiver in time for R-day 2012 was extremely tough. Watching the...

    2013 Calendar: When is R-day for the Class of 2017?

    Thanks for the info. I'm already member of the West Point Parent's page on Facebook and have just requested membership to the Mom's page. DS received a letter last Saturday that his file (he has an LOA) has been approved and to expect his official appointment in the first wave of packets...

    Waiver process

    During my DS's waiver ordeal last year, we scanned and emailed all updated doctor visit reports directly to DoDMERB AND our RC. You don't have to wait for either of them to ask for the reports. Send them in as you have them. In this particular instance I didn't feel that it had to be my DS that...

    DS has LOA and now NOM!!!!!

    So happy to hear that my DS's experience through his process may make a difference for another SA candidate. It is amazing that at age 18, DS already has a 'story' that he can share with others. I'll pass along your comments to him... he'll be home for the holidays in about a week! We are...

    DS has LOA and now NOM!!!!!

    Allow me to explain DS's LOA... My DS received an LOA for the Class of 2016 (last year's cycle), received a nom, received the BFE and accepted his appointment on December 2, 2011. On 12/17/11, DS dislocated his shoulder in a wrestling match and was subsequentially medically DQd. Waiver was...

This is DS's 2nd time around... received USMA LOA and then appointment for class of 2016 and then was injured in a wrestling match. Just received notice that his waiver was approved in...
