    Letter of Assurance (LOA) received

    Congratulations! Quite a relief to see that LOA come in. I remember the amazing joy my DS showed when he got his LOA. As an added bonus, it was on his birthday. He immediately contacted his MOC to let them know, and everything worked out for him 2 years ago.

    Not applying to other SA's--Frowned upon come nomination time?

    My son only applied to USAFA and AFROTC. He was singularly focused, and knew that is what he wanted with his career. This was not an issue when he interviewed with his MOC. I know he did discuss the fact that his backup plan was AFROTC during his interview. I believe this showed that he is...

    District Competitiveness

    This makes me laugh. I grew up in Illinois, and the districts are crazy shapes there. One district (Illinois - 4th) joins two otherwise separate areas by connecting them down a highway.

    Is it time to move on??

    As I researched study guides for my daughter, I found that Khan Academy is rated number 1 for the SAT, and it's free. That would be a great place to start.

    Scholarships @ grade 9?

    My son received his LOA on his birthday in December. I was thinking it was a coincidence at the time, but I wonder if they plan this to make the letter more memorable.

    Know when you are getting those cherished letters from your plebes, etc

    I told my wife that we were getting a letter from our son today and she said, "You checked the mail, but didn't bring it in?" When I told her about the Informed Delivery service, she refused to believe me. We went back a forth for a while, so I finally pulled out my phone and showed her the app...

    My DS will have a similar issue. He's graduating HS in Illinois and received his nomination from the local MOC, but I have been relocated by my company to TX, so the whole family is moving in early June. I doubt he will have time to get a new DL, but his family will reside in TX. Does he have to...

    Parents of 2022'ers

    I found a house for a very reasonable price for PW on vrbo. Airbnb would be another good option.

    BUBBLE WRAP

    Varsity athletics and EC activities are what got them to where they are. Bubble wrap is not what they want, so I won't even mention it to my DS.

    Parents of 2022'ers

    Thanks for posting this. I just checked out the WebGuy photos from the last Summer Seminar. Hundreds of pictures each day. This will be a great way to keep up on the DS as he moves through his new life in BCT. We already have reservations for I-Day and PW. One of the benefits of the LOA/early...
