Another bit of info., my current 4/C DD just put in her selections for the upcoming summer. Small boat station or cutter in Alaska or Hawaii sound like interesting possibilities for her when you live on the east coast ...

Another thank you to Mr. Mullen for guiding my DD through the DoDMERB process. She's now a happy 4/C at USCGA returning to classes...

"May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live"

Mr. Mullen, you are an asset to this country. You and all the members of DoDMERB etc. helped my daughter maneuver through that process and I am proud to say she is now almost finished with her swab summer at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. My wife and I have learned quickly to pull back and let...

Back in the 80's when I came home from college the last thing I wanted to do was spend time with my parents. I guess some things don't change. I might think differently now...

I think the learning here is Admissions is looking at the complete package - grades, courses, test scores, activities, etc. One thing I would add is showing interest in the USCGA. My daughter is a Swab who is aboard the Eagle right now and during her junior/senior year she attended every...

As above, my daughter said the first lunch on Monday was the last non-squared meal... The word on the street is to get lots of bread and put everything into that to get it into your mouth.

SO much time and effort leading up the Reporting Day but for all of the new cadets-to-be it is worth it. A blistering hot day in New London yesterday but to my relief, at the end of her first swab summer day, my daughter was smiling and loved it. Can't say that was the same for all but I think...

Will those not selected off the waitlist ultimately get a TWE at some point? Thx

Can I ask what district in NJ?

My DD has just received waiver clearance for both the USCGA and the NROTC scholarship at Villanova. She was waitlisted at USNA and will see what comes of that, but she now has 2 solid choices for her future. It was a very long road to get the waivers, but I will bring up the old adage - "the...

Very similar story here with my DD. My reco. is to send a note to Mr. Mullen just to ask him if there is anything else you need to do for DoDMERB. He will probably respond and copy the officials at the Service Academies/ROTC for an update. That at least puts your case fresh in their minds as...

Stupid question but reapplying means everything has to be re-done? Application, essays, recommendations, transcripts, SAT/ACT - do people take new tests? , nominations, BG interview, CFA, etc. maybe not DoDMERB? Do people submit the same essays? Do the recommendations from teachers get...

My DD was waitlisted this morning. Guessing those on that list are ranked too. Does anyone know if it can be asked where one is on the list? If there truly are 100 on the list, thinking better to go with plan B if number 99 vs. number 3...

Curiosity question - do service academies only look at and have access to the remedials (medical findings from office visits) they have specifically requested through DoDMERB or do they look at and have access to every remedial that has been requested?
