529 I'll just tell you what we have done. Son is now a Cow. 529 monies were used for the $2,900 deposit (it's lower now) and we had a ... check sent directly to the USMA Treasurer FBO John Doe. they are extremely helpful in the USMA treasurers office. (845) 938-4262 If your DS/DD is...

Let us in on... Maybe you could give the readers some background on this. Sounds interesting.

One Data Point I'll give you one data point: DS is NROTC-MO at Auburn. He also received ~$10k in departmental schollies, which he has used for room and meal plan. No sweat. It is almost like it is supposed to work out that way. I would say that your HS might not have all the answers in this...

Not today S looked online and saw that he had not been selected. "Driving on" to participate with Det, which he has visited at his #1 school. Major is Aero Eng. Good luck all who wish to serve. God has a plan.

one tidbit Trev- I work at Redstone Arsenal and the place is full of Army Officers in the Acquisition Corps. Your Finance Degree could be very useful, after a few years of experience in the line and some staff jobs. Not totally sure how they get there, but here is some reading...

Advice We have 2 in college (one SA, One NROTC/MO) and a senior. The above is some of the best advice ever given.

Some thoughts Just a couple of thoughts based on my experience as a Cadet Dad, Midde Dad and working with Military. Your son will stand out, but in a good way. His ribbons will be the first thing people notice. It will not be his first time away from home. Others will be freaking out...

wow after reading through this....I would not encourage S to walk-on for football, but to keep with swimming. He has a good sized frame and will be a great addition to any IM FB team though, can throw a sweet ball. I think i may be ahead of myself. Still awaiting mail. Thanks Much, Luigi.

Standards Not wanting to miss out on the height/weight bruhaha (imbroiglio?) maybe someone could send a link to the standard for our collective reference. Thanks -Russ Dad of 3.
