Hi everyone. I am looking for advice on how to address a concern we have for our 3/C DS. He is on a national scholarship and entering his second year of college, majoring in engineering. To be specific, I am wondering if it is OK for me to have a private call with his unit commander and ask...

Anyone hear anything? At this point in time, I think it is safe to presume that CPR implies one is in the mix; but so much depends on variables outside a candidate's control. Oh my, this waiting is suspenseful.

DS is a college reapplicant. Originally assigned to our state’s BGO area coordinator, then later reassigned to a different BGO. DS was proactive in reaching out to both....he sent an email to his new BGO over two months ago - crickets. The BGO interview is the only open item for DS. I know...

I am sure this is somewhere on the forum but I can't find it. Simple inquiry: DODMERB results are good for two years. For college re-applicants who applied last year but were turned down, does their DODMERB automatically repopulate or is there something the candidate is supposed to do?

Saw this on LinkedIn today and thought I would share. Food for thought regardless of where you are in the process. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/letter-from-my-mother-sean-georges

The online disrespect towards women service members, that has surfaced in the news recently, is disheartening and troubling. I was very pleased to see this post today from the Navy's CNO: http://navylive.dodlive.mil/2017/03/14/no-bystanders/

When DS attempts to log into the portal, the URL looks like this: Is anyone else experiencing this? Just curious. He can proceed with login, which does work, but this https string remains as referenced, which has me wondering if something amiss. Happens on all four browsers we use...

DS is waiting, hoping, praying.

Well, here we are at Christmas. DS's status has been CPR since September. Dodmerb qualified and nominations secured. Plan B is locked in. He's waiting, hoping, and praying for Plan A. Like the majority of candidates in similar status, we're settling in for a long winter wait. Yes, waiting...

DS is cleared by DodMERB for USNA, and is rated Qualified. He is prayerfully awaiting an USNA admissions decision. In the meantime, he received a 4 year NROTC scholarship. Reading through the paperwork he asked me to look over with him, it appears that he may have to go through the...

Good news - DS learned today he has a 4 year NROTC scholarship. The ROTC folks, via the accompanying paperwork, are stressing the importance of accepting ASAP. DS understands that accepting preserves his options for Plan B. However, Plan A (USNA) is very much on his mind. Q: Does accepting...

If a candidate is qualified for USNA by DoDMERB, should that be reflected on the Candidate Portal? DS has been in Qualified status for over two months, and is worried about lack of any medical status on the portal. On the flip side, I am wondering if the absence of medical status is simply a...

Does anyone have an appointment for an interview? Website says next weekend, but no call yet. DS had application in weeks ago.

This thread is about where the line is between candidates solely managing their affairs with Admissions and parents stepping in to help. Case in point: DS' status is "Complete Pending Review." However, his HS transcript has since been updated and sent to USNA but his profile only reflects the...

Well, here he goes. DS has his BGO interview tomorrow evening in our home. I have two questions that I would appreciate advice/guidance on: (1) The interview is during the dinner hour. We (parents) only plan on staying in the house the first few minutes and will scram when DS gives us the...

DS can't log in. Site doesn't come up. http://www.usna.edu/candidateinformation

DS has applied to both USNA and NROTC. As luck would have it, his Officer interview for NROTC and BGO interview for USNA are back to back (Wed/Thur), with NROTC being first. I am unsure how this works - will DS be viewed negatively that USNA is his first choice? I am sure others have been down...

Context #1: DS is applying to USNA and NROTC. Here is an excerpt from the email authorizing him to register for the exam: "You are authorized to take a Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board (DoDMERB) medical exam as part of your application to a Service Academy, ROTC, USUHS...

It's interesting to me that a number of aspiring candidates seem reticent about being "too honest" when it comes to disclosure about past alcohol consumption and/or drug use. Their obvious, and understandable, concern is that such disclosure will wreck their chances of being offered an...
