My DS has asked his 85 year old Grandfather to perform a personal swearing-in ceremony. Each time I have seen Grandpa since, he has told me how honored he is that our DS asked this of him. In fact, he has said it at least twice each time I've seen him! Thx for the advice regarding possible...

My DS received his on the 13th. It is postmarked 4/10. Got it just before the storm hit us here in MN-01.

Dear DCSH2018, My DS had Principal Nom from Congressman, Nom from Senator, Top Candidate Award from summer seminar... and didn't get an appointment. We wish we knew what he came up short in or what the appointee from our district had that he didn't. Plan B worked out amazingly and had a lot...

Promethium, Are you actually my son pretending to be someone else recommending unlimited? Kidding! ;) Thanks all for the advice everyone. We are used to the data being nearly used up so will see how it goes and it's easy to switch to unlimited so will do if necessary.

My DS is telling us that the USNA issues each plebe a laptop. Yet he says he is taking his own laptop and cell phone and is going to need an unlimited data plan. Is this the deal or what is reality? Thx for any feedback.

Feel your pain. Last year, I believe the final day for notification was April 14th. The night of April 12th my son got the word. Waiting again this year!! Good luck to you.

Is it fair to say that most "direct appointments" are athletes?

My DS from MN received TWE yesterday. Had principle congressional nom and senatorial and top candidate award from summer seminar. We hope to learn where he came up short as he is ready to try again next year. Good luck to all that haven't heard one way or the other.
