Very inspiring! Wish we could have seen the first half, but nice to see Adm. Mullen's speech, and commissioning. Congratulations Class of 2011!

NCM & Fishbowl, trouble is convincing DS to yank 'em now! He took a math placement test online, then he took Calculus I validation online. The email had a link to the questions for each academic department, and under the math exam section, there was an explanation about the placement &...

DS dove into the math test! Now if it had been an essay...:frown: MoM, can you elaborate on the teeth? We're trying to decide about the wisdom teeth, since DS hasn't had any issues at all. Dentist, of course "recommends" extraction. Also just realized there is no "Dental" form in PTR...

Our BGO let us know when it showed on the portal (?), and if you send a self-addressed stamped envelope for the birth certificate to be returned, you'll know, when it returns!:thumb:

USMA2016: You mentioned scouting and being SPL, how about Eagle? DS worked his rear off to get Eagle. He was lacking in sports, and I think scouting made up some of the deficit with leadership and community involvement. BTW, he had an LOA in mid July.

"Louisiana on the board!" Welcome aboard, neighbor!

MomOTM, until I read your post, I had thought getting RP's early wouldn't be something DS would be interested in, but now I'm convinced I need them! DS sister will want to read through it, and I can see us following in your footsteps having a day of the 5 Basic Responses! Thanks!

"North" Texas? Well, we're north of Midland:shake: Dist. 19, Lubbock But somehow I think you meant north of D/FW!

DH literally stalked the mailman down the street (had to go back to work and didn't want to wait!) and asked if he had a big fat envelope for us, AND HE DID!:yllol: Keep smiling:biggrin:

I can understand your anxiety. My DS had USMA appointment in January, USCGA appointment in February and the BFE he was waiting for (USNA!) came last week. So he immediately sent very grateful "I decline" to the first two RIGHT AFTER signing "I accept" to USNA. These were the only 3 academies DS...

Engineer So engineers DO need things to be orderly?? This may be eye-opening for my DS thinking he wants to major in engineering!:eek:

Congrats TommyK! And yes, this forum has been invaluable, and in so many ways a source of hope and encouragement! I am eagerly watching now for those still waiting, and hoping to see the appointment list GROW!

Thanks All! Well, DH wanted to go out for burgers and so he put it on the table while DS was picking up the order. He came back and pretended not to notice, just kept talking to his brother...cool as a cucumber, while I had my phone video going (trying to look like I was texting) I finally had...

town liberty? What exactly does "town liberty" mean? Are they restricted how far or where they can go? Is Washington D.C. too far?

DS had a call last Friday from our congressman, so he knew it was coming, but he doesn't know it came today because he's been in class all day. Any suggestions on how to make it memorable or special tonight?

Carleigh, I sent you a pm!

Call from Congressman at 8a.m. today! 51. WestTexasmom's son, Texas, March 4, 2011

Learning patience in Texas!

Thank you all for the congrats! Yes, several options on the table to choose from and all excellent choices! Still no news from USNA...

DS received appointment offer 2 days ago!
