    Negative affects to DS changing HS

    There maybe even more opportunities for him at his new HS. My DD moved HS and after a year on her new swim team was selected for a captain position her senior year. I wish I hadn’t worried so much. Military kids are resilient and those that are applying to ROTC or SAs will need that resilience...

    3rd Varsity Sport

    My daughter was a varsity swimmer all through HS. When we moved to a different state in the fall of 2017 the club swim team was on break when we got here. She wanted to cross train and meet people and so joined the XC team though she’d never run more than a mile at a time. She loved the team and...

    SLE not selected

    I meant nominations not appointments. I typically don’t write longer messages on my phone... obviously she only got 1 appointment.

    SLE not selected

    I’m pretty new at this and I’m can only speak from personal experience. I would agree with the other posts that SLE doesn’t necessarily hurt or help your application. My DD was not selected for SLE. She was selected for and attended NASS last summer. She had 3 appointments to USNA (senatorial...

    Women's Swimsuit Help

    I should also add you can find many other brands (speedo or nike for example) that use the same sizing. I’d recommend the competition type suits just because they are meant for athletic swimming and really stay on. And they do come in really small sizes (26). Feel free to message me and I’ll be...

    Women's Swimsuit Help

    My DD are swimmers/ divers. If you buy a suit in competitive sizing you will have more luck. They are different than the typical xs, s, m etc or 0,2,4. If you are a xs, get a 26. Swimsuit outlet is a great place to get a variety of suits at different prices. This particular suit has been a...

    NROTC - VA Tech, Penn State, or University of Washington

    I’ll weigh in on behalf of PSU. My brother did AROTC at PSU and we gave friends who did both AFROTC and AROTC. All liked the program, loved PSU. Most of my in-laws went to PSU and we lived there while my husband got an MS and PHD at PSU. It’s a really large school with something for everyone. I...

    USNA Class of 2023 Do-It-Yourself Appointment Thread

    Not too close... I don’t think we are in the same district. I hope that helps. The districts are pretty big and are long, but I think we are in a different district than you.

    USNA Class of 2023 Do-It-Yourself Appointment Thread

    We are in the southern portion of the state. One had all MOC nominations (3) and a presidential- so I can’t tell you who’s slate is being charged. I’m not sure there is any way to really figure out when the board meets and decides and if they do it State by state or just candidate by candidate...
