I wonder if our sons are in the same pod? He had 80 in his as well and by day 11 it was down to 72. To embarrass my son I ordered all my family the yellow, Navy PT shirts. Found a site to buy them for $4.98/ea so we will all be wearing those. I also plan on saluting him and holding it until he...

My son has a problem with the running as well. He is a year round baseball player and recruited athlete but they do not train for endurance. It is strictly power and explosiveness. If they were just running 60 yard sprints he would be all over it…lol. He has been working on the distance but it...

Yes. It is not binding and you could still go to an Academy!

I feel the same way! It has been hard. DS said he didn’t want to sound like he was just complaining and that he actually was enjoying the training. He is tired of the yelling which he said literally started at 0600 and did not stop until 2000…lmao. He seems much more appreciative of home life...

Got my second letter today from DS. It was dated 5 Jul. He did not seem to be in quite as good of spirits as he was in the first. Of course, some of that probably had to do with the fact that his 18th bday was July 4th and he was stuck in ROM at NSI. He said that out of his compartment of 80...

Wow! Unbelievable. I am sorry he was not selected for AFROTC scholarship. I am just curious, with numbers like those what are is his plan B? He is going to do great wherever he ends up!

I totally agree.

Stay in touch through the forum. Let us know how things go with plan A- and whether she reapplies or not. We will do the same! We might all be going through this again next year but maybe with a different perspective. Thank you for your input and support on the forum!

I think they pretty much took care of the waitlist offers yesterday. Today they are sending the TWEs. I believe the only new appointments we will see at this point are those that have either conditional appointments or LOAs that are going through the medical waiver process.

Will do. Your post are always my favorites!

Well....I started this thread and it has been fun waiting with you all. DS just got the dreaded TWE emai as well! But, at almost the same time he received official notification that he has received the NROTC scholarship!!! Crazy timing...now he has a decision to make. AFROTC at ECU or NROTC at...

Hang on...we will have answers in about 24hrs but I will say chances of appointment between now and then are slim.

Congratulations on USCGA! That is a great opportunity as well.

I don’t think they care. Same thing is going on with NROTC except they don’t even bother giving you an estimated date. DS has got to choose soon. One option is campus based AFROTC. He went before the 2nd board as well and at the time they were still saying we would know by the end of March. I...

You know, I am an Eastern NC native and lived hear all my life. Grew up a Carolina fan and attended ECU so I have never liked NCSU. Been on the campus a few times years ago and was never impressed. I had the chance to drive around it last week and liked what I saw. It was quite beautiful...

Yes. That is right.

We will be glad to get the official notification!

Thank you. That is great to know!

Some action on DS NROTC scholarship application today. Portal still reads, "no decision has been made on your application" but he got an email from DoDMERB that there was new activity. He logged in to check and there had been a request from NROTC for his medical. My understanding is that this is...

That is great. Congratulations! I think at this point you start mentally trying to prepare for the bad news. That way maybe it doesn’t hit as hard if it does come. For various reasons, even though I know he had a strong application, I do not have a good feeling about it. Application...
