I solicit the input from this esteemed group as my DS (who has wrangled with this for sometime) now has all of the information to make his best decision on where to go next year. He has worked very hard and has put himself in a position to have a plethora of choices that I realize really come...

You can go directly into the Medical Corps out of USNA though it is highly competitive (12-14 slots/year). You can also begin your time in the line and then transfer into the Medical Service Corps (where the lab scientists reside) in what they call the Lateral transfer process after approx 3...

If you have those copies, that would be great!

Does anyone know if we can get the newborn sickle cell test drawn now? My DS did not have this test performed as a newborn and has had no signs of sickle cell disease throughout his life.

DS has been accepted to Princeton and Duke and has AROTC, NROTC and AFROTC scholarships. He is in his final decision phase on this matrix of choices and would love to hear the thoughts of this group on the pros/cons of both schools and the various ROTC options. A great problem to have but a...

As a retired Medical Corps officer and a USNA grad, I want to clarify and confirm just a few things stated here. 1) You CAN go to MC out of USNA or ROTC but the numbers are very small. For USNA it will limit your major selection as only a few majors will let you fulfill the premed...

Well my DS just found out that he was accepted to Princeton last evening. He has Navy and Army ROTC scholarships and also has appointments to USNA/USMA. As a USNA grad, I completely understand the differences in the experience and pros/cons of one versus the other. I have tried to impart my...

I agree that she should follow her passion and continue to pursue that as her primary goal. That being said, I must say that the Army ROTC and USMA have been much better than the other ROTC programs and SAs. That is tough for me to admit being a USNA grad but it really has been much smoother...

Does anyone know if it is a requirement to have a wisdom tooth extraction before entering a ROTC program (likely Army or Navy). My DS has both Army, Air Force and Navy scholarships and is awaiting his school acceptances but wondering if he needs to have them out prior.

DS Just opened Bears Den and received an appointment. Did not receive a call but it hit Bear's Den tonight! No sport.

I don't see any new entries after 24 November... Is there a pause in the appointment actions or just no new posts?

My DS has appointments to all three SAs and is still formulating his decision on which to attend. He received his nomination through the disabled veteran category. He still has both senate nominations still in the works (interviewed at both and is waiting on a final decision due out in...

Thanks MJ! My son is a 100% Disabled Service member nominee and USNA has that nomination listed on his dashboard. Additionally he is DODMERB and CFA qualified on the dashboard.

I should I have added that he has a nomination from me being 100% disabled Vet. But he has also applied for both Senator, Congressman and VP noms to be complete. He is cleared for DODMERB and CFA.

My DS has received an appointment from USMA and USAFA but is still getting crickets from USNA. Does anyone have any typical timeline history for USNA on potential USNA appointment release patterns? Or are there any? I realize that it is long term waiting game but wondering if there is any...

DS just received an appointment to USAFA! So now he has USMA and USAFA.... Still waiting on USNA. Super excited and proud!
