Messy? Try: unprofessional. Force branching cadets into their last choice branch regardless of OML invalidates the Army values. This is how you kill loyalty.

You need to actively follow up and self advocate for your waiver. There is a former DoDMErb MD (search old posts) who can help you w yr waiver for a fee. It’s worth investigating.

LOTS of cadets were force-branched this year. Many females force branched into Infantry despite ranking it last. We always knew “the needs of the Army” would override personal preference. We just wish higher would can the fakey fake “rank your most preferred branch” exercises, delete the “People...

Congrats and welcome! As a current USMAPS class of ‘19 parent, I can tell you - the first day and the first month are a big adjustment. Make sure all your kid’s things are packed in gallon ziplocks. Make sure they do the packing so they know where everything is. Do not use rolling luggage, use...

When the heat of reaction passes, you're going to know that it's going to be alright. Any one with her skills, strength and achievement is going to forge the path they need. This is part of her journey. It's going to shape her as she goes where she is meant to be. In the moment, it sucks! You...

Did you find out if there will be an A day that parents can attend?

Dear OP, Your post reminded me of the prayer from St. Augustine that's part of evening compline, which asks "Watch, Oh Lord, with those who wake, or watch or weep tonight," and I am praying for you and your child. I am so sorry. It's so much to go through, after the long march toward admission...

I read reviews on both the Garmont boots and the Bellevilles -- it seems like the Garmonts break their shoe lace hooks, and the ballbearing gizmo clogs and breaks. The Belleville seem to have more favorable reviews. Prices vary online, as do available sizes - so shop around. YMMV.

We live in San Francisco, where any brush with city government is going to be mind expanding. Guaranteed. I called to find out which office would complete our child's 5-521 form - voice mail. Web site unresponsive. Chat line unresponsive. Nonemergency line operator - said go to your local police...

Hey, do you mind sharing privately why she is leaving? My daughter is considering going there - but isn't sure.

Was CPR until this morning. Now must decide btw USAFA and USMA. It's a useful process, while there is disappointment at losing out on one path, it increases the value of others. We are all headed toward where we're meant to be.

Still CPR w 2 noms here in CA12 as of Weds morning. By Sunday we will all know. Praying for everyone.

When will this rumored wave materialize? Trying to model stoic patience for child while secretly chewing what's left of my cuticles. What makes it worse: child's classmate who daily brags he's already been admitted to USNA (NaNa NA NANa!), and gloats that he didn't even report his kinda serious...

Our DD received an appointment to CGAS in November, but she is trying to decide between opportunities. It is a lot for a 17 year old. Does the prep school help them study to retake the SAT? What if their scores don't improve?

Try using Chrome. I've had better luck especially with loading forms when using Chrome.

Going to STEM won't cause you to be admitted. However, it can connect you to leaders who can advise and guide you in helpful ways; it can inspire you to do whatever is necessary to prepare the best application possible for being admitted; it can introduce you to people who actually know what the...

Yup, going to SLE#1, then on to NASS#2, then Girls State, then AIM. And lots of soccer in between. #BestSummerEver!
