Good evening, DS has been CPR since November. He just received an email from a recruiter this evening asking if he was still interested in the Navy and still interested in becoming an officer, that he was available to talk. This email he received from the recruiter prompted him to check his...

I also neglected to mention DS did have a congressional nomination.

I forgot to mention. His portal has not updated with this letter he got via snail mail. And it is still open.

DS received the dreaded TWE yesterday as well. He finished his application in late November. He was granted a waiver for a DQ (color deficiency) In late December. Everything was green checks. His application was strong. Top 10% of his class, he will have a total of 11 AP classes once he...

My DS just received a request for an AMI from the orthodontist for his braces. DS stated on the questionnaire that his braces come off this Wednesday, September 4th and will only have a retainer to use at night. I will take off work and go see the orthodontist to get part B filled out...

Thank you for letting me know. We will sit tight. The dates provided in mid June to choose from were: August 29 - 31 September 12 - 14 October 17 -19 November 14 - 16 August was to quick for us and November’s date is the weekend one of our Senators has his interviews. And September is...

How long does it typically take for USNA to respond with a confirmation email for a CVW? DS said ‘about two weeks’. But that was three and a half weeks ago. TDH was asking me so he can request time off from work to go with DS. DS doesn’t want to be a pest and email or call. But we need to...

I have great news! We just got done with his cardiologist appointment and it was a false positive! They did another EKG & Echo and he is perfectly healthy! PTL! We are going to be doing the DoDMERB questionnaire later today. Since he is fine and he is cleared and no follow up appointment is...

We are waiting to do the DoDMERB. When I called later in the day after his appointment and I had a little time to process everything. All the nurse could tell me was the computer read ‘abnormal’ and the doctor said to do a referral to the cardiologist. I asked if she herself read the...

Thank you for sharing your story. I’ve been googling too. Hindsight is 20/20. I wouldn’t have let him have chocolate pop tarts and a chocolate protein shake before mowing, weed eating & edging the neighbors yard right before his appointment. I had no idea that what he ate, the ‘exercise’...

Thank you. This makes me feel a little better. I have read quite a few threads on here about how slow the medical portion of this process can be. And if there are any hiccups along the way, it gets complicated. We were worried we are going to be pressed for time. With finishing nomination...

I explained the issues this would create but due to liability reasons, they do a referral to the cardiologist and forward the results to them to interpret and follow up. I would have thought if they were going to implement a new screening, someone would be available to review, but apparently...

Our fingers are crossed that all is well at the cardiologist next week. I could kick myself for this self inflicted hurdle I unknowingly put in his path. It completely caught DS off guard. Zero issues. I didn’t postpone his yearly just because I make the appointments far in advance for all...

Thank you! Our pediatrician has now began doing EKG as part of the well visit if you are an athlete. He already had his sports physical back in May at the school and he was cleared to play. DS doctor didn’t tell him he cannot continue playing football either. His cardio appointment is next...

Good morning, First, I would like to thank those of you who created this site and the wonderful feed back each of the members provide. I have tried to read just about everything. I found this site when my DS first sat us down at the end of his junior year and let us know what he wants to do...
