Looking for a little information regarding R Day... After we attend the meeting with our son, then we say "see ya" and he begins his journey... we plan to stay to see him march in the parade (is that what it is called?) and take the oath at the end of the day... any tips or tricks on actually...

nevermind. problem resolved

As a very hopeful mama of a soon-to-be appointed to USMA son (fingers crossed), I have been collecting terms specific to USMA - here is where I put them.... http://wordcurious.com/wordlists/29-military-mom-hints just in case they help someone else. can Thanks for all the support and...

Anyone know how long it takes from when the CFA proctor (local PE Instructor) posts the CFA scores to when it shows on the USMA Portal that they are on file? Son's proctor seems to have forgotten to submit them and deadline on LOA is approaching... much stress in this household today. :unhappy...

Well, How are these scores? BB Throw - 96' Push ups - 60 Sit ups - 72 Pull Ups - 6 Shuttle run - 9 Mile Run - 7:25

I know this seems like a ridiculous question to be asking now, but on R-Day (June 28th 2010) when do the parents actually leave West Point? We have some family scheduling issues and I want to see if there is even a possibility to work out a prior committment that I made for June 29th or if I...

Hello All, I have learned so much here on the forums and appreciate so much all everyone has to offer. I know there is a great thread on the parents' forum here on gifts for Christmas, but now that I am pretty certain my son will be attending USMA in June, I have more specific needs...

Lots of good news, things are beginning to feel more and more real... :biggrin: Medical Waiver was received today, so with the LOA and the Nomination in hand we are getting pretty close... big smiles 'round the dinner table tonight! My son will be going to USMA for his overnight visit in...

My son just called from the parking lot after his MOC interview... he says he was stopped by the MOC Academy Coordinator prior to his interview to tell him it was "just a formality" and that he would be receiving a nomination for USMA.... since he has a LOA in hand for USMA he is IN! (right?)...

A quick question... son's LOA for USMA expires on January 27. He has interview with MOC on Friday. He is reluctant to mention the need for the nomination prior to that date.... should he mention it? Can the LOA date be extended? Thanks in advance, proudmama

Hello All... As I anticipate my son being a plebe at USMA next year (fingers crossed, he has an LOA, but no nomination yet)... WHAT makes good gifts for Christmas and Birthdays this year? What will he be allowed to take with him to USMA? What will he need? I am stumped for things for...

If the LOA lists a height/weight issue, how does that get "fixed"? Thanks in advance.

Okay, I have spent quite some time on the forums here this week and I am learning GOBS! (but I am still a newbie) Thanks everyone... Just to see if I am getting this right.... With a LOA in hand, IF the requirements on the LOA are met the appointment is certain (this of course includes...

I am new here and still learning. My son has a nice shiny new LOA in hand for USMA... no nomination yet, but we are hopeful... feeling a bit like it is out of our hands right now. How much does having an LOA help in getting a Congressperson or Senator's Nomination? Thanks in advance...
