monroe Hopefully someone affiliated with the ECP program will reply and validate my take. My son was interested in the ECP program at Valley Forge. We went to the open house and met with the Army ROTC instructor there. My interpretation is that the answer would be "no". Reason, the Army is the...

Pheww! TPG, Thanks for the positive feedback on the Navy Credit Union. We just opened an account via the web for my daughter and I thought it was a great idea they did it this way. I figured the day we showed up in Newport the place would be a madhouse and I did not want us to have one more...

Arlen Specter I am not sure how a situation works like this, but am experiencing the same issues. I know Senator Specter did not win his bid for the democratic nomination, so he is finished in January. I am not sure when the deadling is that Senators have to have their noms in. It varies State...

WYKO, I do not have a answer, but I think by you coming on here and asking, it shows you have integrity to do the right thing. I can speak for the civilian world only, and doing major contracts for the Navy and Army, ALL employees were/are subjected to initial and random drug screening. True...

Option Greg, sorry to hear. Have you given any thought to attending one of the military junior colleges? I see New Mexico/Roswell it the nearest one to you. An acquaintence of mine sent his son there a year after he did not get appointed to westpoint or the prep school. He entered the...

chin up mayham, I hope it works out for you. If not, enlistment would definately be the way to go. Applying for the Services Academies is always for service to country first. If you truely want to serve enlist. Enlistment can open doorways for you. You would have a leg up to re-apply and a...

loaded questions Riv, I can speak only for AFJROTC for my child and I applied and received the JROTC nom. The "gold star",,I believe you mean the one that is worn on the white ribbon with yellow vertical stripes? NO, that is not the honor unit ribbon. That ribbon with the gold star means...

larry mullen Lep, I would go to the dodmets section and post for Larry Mullen. He works there and is the Zen master to answer these questions correctly.

Yes, independent forms off the Academy admission website, same process.

:confused: Mark, I do not know what you mean by automatic? I can say my childs JROTC nomination was not. We printed the forms off USMA website and USNA website, took them to school and the Colonel filled them out. He then attached verification that the JROTC unit was Honor unit with...

JROTC Mark, I do not know about the AF, but can say as you mentioned, USMA and USNA had the printable forms, and you simply have the JROTC Senior Officer Instructor fill them out, and attach the supporting documentation. I use this loosely because we applied for the JROTC nomination(airforce) ...

our experience. cycle, My answer may be incorrect for I am not quite sure about the question you are asking. If you are asking does someone that solely applies for a NROTC scholarship, would they perhaps be offered a LOA or appointment to the Naval academy, the answer in my opinion is NO...

best bet I think at this point in the game, the best advice is to contact your regional rep. and explain the situation.

CVW Yankee, My daughter received an LOA and never received a CVW. Maybe one will come in the weeks ahead, but I would not gauge this as a definate either way.

curious My question is what does this have to do with anything in regards to young academy hopefuls applying to SA's? Understood this is news and more or less issues that the academy and alumni need to resolve, but frankly I am a bit disappointed that these blogs have turned into "my school is...

good question. Mom, Tough question, but any Academy must be something your student really wants. Speaking with admission officers from W.P and USNA, nothing they hate more then a cadet/midship that joins a respective class, and "processes out" for the regimented life is not what they...

Question, Do certain nominations carry more weight then others? Example, MUST a candidate have a MOC nomination? OR,,, would a Senator Nom. ONLY be enough? Here comes the "whisper down the lane" talk. I have "heard" that other then a Presidential, you must get your MOC nom. A Senator or...

fees involved Congrats Ohio! Take that big Sigh of relief! My question goes out to any napsters. What are the fees involved? I looked on the NAPS official site and they said bring $300.00 for expenses due to the layover in pay. I know the USNA site speaks of the $2,500 initial payment...

guess beav, When we went to for the medical facility for the physical, the staff faxed it to dodmets immediately. Dodmerb, it took about a week for it to show on their site. It never shows on the Academy sites. We got an official letter stating her medical status was qualified" and sent to...
