My middle son will commission as an Army officer in May. In recognition of his achievement and his commitment, various family members would like to buy him his first set of service dress blues, and a full set of the blue mess dress uniform. I am hoping you folks might point me to a high...

Thank you for all of these suggestions -- we are making a list and trying to incorporate the things we think are going to work for our DD -- and I am all for the idea of sending pranks. . . :shake: You know, out of this entire process, I have to say that one of the things I have been really...

Thanks! Thanks for your help - these are all great ideas!

I have had a chance to read through a number of the posts from last year describing helpful tips on what to send your plebe during plebe summer. There really seem to be some great ideas in those posts. I am wondering, however, whether in looking back the parents from the class of 2014 have...

He started as a biophyics major and then switched out of that during his second year (the BME program is well very respected, but tough). Overall, JHU is a very competitive academic school -- not just to get in, but also in terms of the academics once you are there. You should expect to work...

Whoo Hoo! Congratulations! :biggrin:

My DD received a nomination to the USNA from Senator Levin, and has received her letter of appointment. Needless to say, she is very excited to be part of the class of 2015! :biggrin:

Capt MJ: I want to take a moment to thank you and your family for your efforts as a sponsor. Our daughter will be mid as a part of the class of 2015, and I can only hope that she is fortunate enough to have a sponsor family as caring and thoughtful as you folks. Best regards.

Thanks for your response. I was under the impression that a candidate needed to "pass" the CFA to receive an appointment, and was wondering how to find out about that sooner rather than later. I did see the MAX scores under the instructions. Thanks again.

My daughter returned from the second session of NASS indicating that she enjoyed her experience and appears to be firmly committed to attending the academy. We have a quick question: does the fact that a date appears next to the CFA line item on my daughter's CIS profile mean that she passed...

Greetings! I have a son that is an AROTC cadet in college, and a daughter that is a high school junior and highly motivated to attend the USNA! She has been accepted to the NASS 2nd session. Thanks for having me, and I hope to be able to contribute as things progress. -smac

Hello all! I am happy to have stumbled across this forum -- there seems to be quite a bit of great information. We are from Michigan and my daughter received her NASS acceptance letter in the middle of last week -- 2nd session! To say that she is excited would be a huge understatement...
