    Ohio 2021 Nominations

    DS is reapplicant and got noms from Portman and MOC for USNA and USMMA this year and from Brown and MOC last year. Like you, we did not get a notice from Brown this year but got a letter from Portman. We've talked to academy coordinators for senators Portman and Brown and they coordinate with...

    On Hold and Medical Waiver Timing

    Thanks. If he is denied a waiver, does he have options with admissions personnel or some other source at an academy that can push for a waiver for him? Anyone have experience with this?

    On Hold and Medical Waiver Timing

    Thanks. This seems different from posts I've read about other SAs (USNA, USMA, etc.) where if the SA makes an offer of appointment and the candidate is not medically qualified, it's at that time that they request a waiver. If I understand your post correctly, once they receive the DQ from...

    On Hold and Medical Waiver Timing

    Great question. DS applied last year and rec'd HOLD status. We contacted AO and asked if she was going to submit for a waiver since he had not been a TD at the time and the deadline for a medical decision was fast approaching. His application was weaker than most (per the AO and by his own...

    On Hold and Medical Waiver Timing

    This question is about the timing of a waiver request. DS is on Hold and medically DQ'd. Hold status letter says he needs to be medically qualified by 3/31. Does this mean he'll need a waiver in place or at have started the waiver review process for him before 3/31 or he will get the TWE...

    Date letter sent- Disqualification

    DS got one. Letter explains what DQ means, DoDMERB's role and next steps in the process. Just sit tight and wait for instructions. How you respond to further instructions is important. There are plenty of threads about this and people with experience on this site.

    DODMERB Wait?

    DS is a reapplicant as well. Hit 50% mark in Dec. and it took a couple weeks to get a letter in the mail advising him to fill out a Present Health Questionnaire and fax/email/mail back. Simple 3 question form asking about changes since last exam. DoDMERB home page says they are 10-15 days...

    Ohio 2021 Nominations

    DS received noms from Senator Portman and Congressman Joyce (OH-14) for USNA and USMMA. Brown said in a letter rec'd yesterday that since DS got nom from Senator Portman, he would not be getting one from Senator Brown so they could give the greatest chance to the largest number of OH applicants...

    USAFA Vs. USNA.. decision time

    Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. MY DS lives by this Proverb...he didn't get an offer of appointment last year and he was down but not out. 1/2 way through...

    DoDMERB for DQ'd re-applicant - What's Needed?

    Searched for old posts on this...unsuccessful. DS is re-applicant. Last year was DQ'd medically. Wondering what the DoDMERB for re-applicants looks like. DS has heard it's anywhere from a simple form verifying that nothing as changed to having to get a full review again b/c of the DQ status...

    C4 Pre-Workout Supplement and Military Drug Testing, Health Risks

    Hi Everyone, My DS said a number of his peers that are either sponsored preps (athletes) or self-preps in his SAP program are taking C4 Pre-Workout supplement before workouts, etc. There's a lot of information out there - much of it looks negative (banned, health impact, etc.). Wondering if...

    Why didn't little Johnny or Janie get an appointment?

    My DS is at MMI this fall as a Self Prep in their SAP program. We've had many discussions about this topic and have learned a lot over the last year or so. He's that kid in the 85% - 90% that Christcorp talks about and believe in the validity of the "whole person" concept. We talk about...

    USMMA's Accreditation "May Be In Jeopardy"

    I've been floating in and out of this string since my DS has really shown an increased interest in KP and a career in Marine Logistics and Security. He's at MMI right now and self-prepping for KP, USNA and CGA. I must admit what I'm reading concerns me a bit on many levels (safety, integrity...

    Letter to Khizr Khan

    Sorry, Satan's already been defeated. Little Christian humor from a God-fearing family! On another note, heard the interview on NPR with Mr. Khan this week. Sorry if this was discussed elsewhere in this post. The interview brought tears to my eyes...he told the story about how he came to...
