He was the Commandant for part of my enlistment '84-'93

My son was born in Tennessee (no state income tax) but changed his residency to Florida (also no state income tax) when he went to Pensacola. He's in California now but his vehicles still have Florida tags and they have Florida licenses. Don't most states that require you to get their license...

Is the PRT at the USNA different than the PRT for active duty enlisted? Is it possible he was deemed not physically fit?

Yes, but it was a wonderful life back then.

While I would love to see my son get promoted earlier, I tend to agree with you.

Since my son promoted to LTJG in January, I would like them include promotion from O2-O3 as well.

What a beautiful addition to Upper Quad.

My DS and DDIL both graduated from the VTCC and VT in 2021. DDIL was VPI and DS was NROTC. They loved VT and Blacksburg. They made friends there that they will have for the rest of their lives. They've even traveled across several states to be in each others weddings.

I thought I would post an update. DS and DDIL are in Monterey (Seaside) and are getting settled in to their house (housing). DS is checked in and classes start on the 5th.

Program Classes NWC Monterey offers the following series of classes that satisfy the requirements for a NWC Command & Staff program diploma: NW3230 Strategy & War (4-2) NW3285 Theater Security Decision Making (4-0) NW3275 Joint Maritime Operations Part 1 (4-0) NW3276 Joint Maritime Operations...

He starts at NPS in July but he won't be eligible to pin O-2 until January so it doesn't sound like he would be able to complete JPME. :(

I have no idea what the requirements are to be eligible for JPME but one of the selling points his detailer mentioned was knocking out his masters and JPME 1 early.

His undergrad is Construction Engineering and Management (STEM). And, although he may never need it, he took the FE (Civil Engineering focus) and passed it. The program they are pushing him toward is Cyber Systems and Operation which is an 8 quarter program so it will take 2 years. I assume...

Since he and his wife just celebrated their first anniversary with their 14ish week old golden retriever puppy, they have two of the three D's covered. Hopefully, they never get the third one. LOL!

Son commissioned a year ago and, after getting DQ'd for aviation, got redesigned CW, is getting ready to report for school in March and will be reporting to Georgia once he finishes. He just got an email from his detailer asking if he is interested in going to NPS and then going to CW school...

I believe the new building behind Lane Hall is the new Military Science Building. I think the new dorm is going next to Lane Hall behind Pearson Hall. I could be wrong. I haven't been back since my son commissioned a year ago today.

My non-ROTC son went to VMI on an unofficial visit for football. We were very impressed with the academic portion of the visit, small class sizes with lots of opportunity for one on one interactions between students and professors. Since he was being looked at as a preferred walk-on, the out...

My son graduated from the VTCC in May and will graduate from VT and commission in the Navy in two weeks. While I wouldn't say he loved every moment of being in the Corps, I think he would say that overall it was a great experience. His fiancé also graduated from the Corps of Cadets (VPI...

I do not think it matters at all.. My son did not apply to any of the service academies and got an NROTC scholarship.

Lol. So the same as my son. Thank you.
