Thank you. Since he failed 2 PRTs, is there any chance given ( warning that you MUST clear 3rd or go home) by the review board at the meeting?

Questions: FAFSA: My MID is under 21, not included in our taxes, filed the taxes on his own at USNA during plebe year. Is he considered independent or dependent for FAFSA purposes? Regarding question on separation: If decision is made by review board to separate, do they normally allow MID to...

Very help link, thanks for passing this info. He has not shared much info and most likely is aware of this. All these questions are coming from a parent who would like to know.

What he has told me is that he is UNSAT right now for PRT and will have to participate in BTT every morning. So once UNSAT in records for that semester, is there no way to remove UNSAT? He plans to take BTT PRT this wednesday and aims to pass it. Will that remove UNSAT and assigned some grade...

Thank you everyone for the input. I plan to share this thread with my DS.

Curious question on upper class ranking plebes: DS was pretty upset when he saw his company ranking ( bottom) and was not sure what he could have done better. I have no experience in this, so not sure how to handle this issue. So just for my knowledge sake, what goes behind the ranking by...

Hi All, Had a casual convo with my DS last week and it seems he was not doing well in Intro to Cyber. He has since been availing of peer help, extra instruction to do his best and pass the course. The subject is totally new to him and that's why difficulty in gaining an understanding. His...

Thank you everyone for the info and insights. DS will apply by friday.

Hi All, I was looking at the schedule and want to see the morning PEP. Is it allowed for parents to see this friday PEP if someone is aware? I am ok to wake up at 5a and get to the yard if allowed. If not, I can catch a few more zeees after a long flight.

Call update: This call was better than the last call, having issues with food but managing it somehow. Says the quality of food sucks. Been sick for about a week now with plebe hack and that has affected his ability to do things and even have a nice sleep. He passed 10 mt jump, will redo swim...
