Hey- well just try your hardest and have fun with it. If I were you I would try my hardest during every practice set during practice-- push yourself as hard as you can and with that the times will drop, I promise you. You still have a full 2 years to continue swimming and get better. I wish I...

Hey- Well I'm not an AFA guy but I am a USMA Cadet (to be). I also may be a recruited swimmer and saw your post randomly and thought it was interesting. I started swimming my soph year and was injured... so I only have about 2.5 years of real experience in swimming so you and I are similar in...

I completely agree!! It was honestly the last thing that I ever expected the day I got the call from my congressmen. I was looking back on when I opened up my candidate file, and it was something like January of 05- wow. DODMERB also kept me at bay for almost 9 months. So keep your head up...

I recieved my appointment today!!! My congressmen called to tell me!!! Thanks to RetNavy and everyone else on this site who has always been their to tell us that their is always a chance!! For anyone who is still waiting-- don't give up hope. When you least expect it things often work out...

I may be doing the same thing. My medical has taken way to long and all we are waiting on is the USMA doctors to review my feet. However, Army ROTC has already waived that, and should waive the other stuff that USMA already has. I'm not sure if I wil recieve an appointment this year, so it...

Yeah- I just don't want to wait to find out that late!!! But trust me, that would still be one of the happiest days of my life!! I def have a plan B. I'll be attending Eastern Illinois University on a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship and I am also being recruited for swimming. I'll re-apply to...

Well I've been waiting for my medical stuff to pass and it has taken forever. Most of it just cleared up, and I'm just waiting on my flat feet (Pes Planus) to clear which army and air force ROTC have already passed with no problems. However, I'm starting to worry that it's getting to late for...

Hey thanks for all the great information. I had no idea about some of this stuff. All great to know. I'm a senior in high school and have taken the ACT several times. My West Point admissions officer told me that my scores were fine, and that their wasn't any need to worry really. I...

Hey-- thanks for the great advice!! I had no idea about the Commanders nomination. This year I was nominated by my local Congressmen (Tim Johnson) and Senator Barack Obama. I was told by many people that I was likely to get into West Point this year as long as medical clears. We were...

Hey guys- This past year I applied to The United States Military Academy at West Point and although I haven't been told I didn't get in, I'm not sure I will as of now (basically the USMA doctors reviewing my file are taking wayyyyy to long to review it, and all the slots are being filled, even...

Hey- DODMERB recently denied me for two things.. the first because have arch problems in my feet (although I wear orthodics and don't have any problems) and the second was because of a family history of bi-polar disorder, which I don't and have never had. However, West Point's doctors also...

Hey, this forum has been really helpful in the past so I thought I'd ask a quick question again... I had 3 medical remedials which I knew where going to be a problem (nothing to out of the oridinary, but it was a pain to track down the medical records for DODMERB). I sent in one of the...

Hey guys- I'm fairly new to the site and was refferred here by several other people who said you guys could help answer my question! Alright basically... I have been nominated to USMA and my Liason Officer said that he was 99.99% sure I would be attending a Civil Prep school or going straight...
