    Eagle Cruise Schedule Posted

    boss -- one more question ( well for now) -- would it be the beginning weekend or the end weekend that the 4/c swabs would be in the port they receive liberty? And would be on the ship during tours? I'm assuming its the beginning.

    Eagle Cruise Schedule Posted

    When will the swabs know which week they will be on Eagle? Will there be enough time for them to let us know via snail mail so we might plan a trip to tour while they are on-board. :smile:

    Swab summer and parents weekend?

    I'm sure this info is somewhere on the forum, but I'm too lazy to go look for it. :smile: Trying to plan vacation for the year and hotel ressies. At the end of swab summer, does family get to visit with swabs before the academic year starts? Are they allowed to leave the grounds? It looks...

    Backup plans?

    somewhere on the "other" forum, there were some posts that got me thinking ( that's usually not good.:) Of interest is backup planning ( i.e putting deposits down at civilian schools) and the fact that even with an appointment, if one sustains an injury or has some sort of serious surgery prior...

    Class Size?

    I know that most (if not all ) colleges send out more offers based on some statistical analysis - my daughter's college got caught the year after she started and had a huge incoming class one year. I have heard of colleges not having enough housing available and so students live in converted...

    Class Size?

    I'm curious about what would happen if more appointees accept than the expected number? I have read that about 400 appointments go out to make a class of about 275. So what happens if more accept their appointment? Like 320 or so? Does the date of acceptance matter? i.e. if one accepts the...

    How often an when do they review NROTC apps?

    Son's NROTC app is being processed and shows Status: No decision has been made on your application. When can he expect it to be reviewed and decide? Do they do this monthly? Will he only get an offer from one of the top 3 schools he listed??

    Remedials - getting impatient

    Follow-up Just FYI for others - seems like the best time to get a live person at DoDMERB is first thing in the morning when they open. Every time I tried in the afternoon, I was on hold or told to call back. Anyway, the paperwork we sent was received and passed on to a physician to review. I...

    Remedials - getting impatient

    RetNavyHM Remedials were received at DoDMERB on Nov 17 per delivery confirmation. This one has been removed from son's status, so I assume they did get them. R251.00 - Incomplete or illegible DD Form 2351 - missing evaluation(s) Status now shows: Current Medical Status: Remedial...

    Best NROTC programs

    posting for my son - he would like feedback on the best NROTC schools -- he's applying as a backup to USNA. He's interested in Notre Dame (he's a fan), Univ of North Carolina, Citadel, VA Tech....but really has no preference, but wants to explore out of state schools.

    Physical Fitness Test

    My son asked his admissions officer about retaking the test and the reply was his score at AIM was more than sufficient - he scored in the low to mid 200's somewhere. (I forget exactly) So he was told not to worry about retaking it.

    DODMERB Question

    My son had his exam on aug 22 and his results showed up 9/12 - so that's 3 weeks to the day. But I'm sure it depends on how fast the examining site gets it sent off and work it way thru the bureaucracy. I thought I read somewhere to allow 6 weeks!!

    Naval Academy -- vision disqualifications?

    RetNavyHM Thanks much for the reply. Question about the re-exam: "Best thing to do is to take your son to the family optometrist, get a new manifest refraction, tell the optometrist he needs to correct to 20/20 in both eyes with no errors. Once you get that examination, send it with a...
