    Scholarships

    My daughter just finished swab summer. She was awarded a scholarship from a Community group in which they are requesting a bill. Will the cadets be given a bill/invoice for the loan? I have provided the scholarship committee with the contact information for CGA, but they simply will not cut the...

    Anyone get administrative documents yet?

    And, FYI, the packet had the appointment letters and good information and the USPS pre-addressed envelope, but the forms and handbook will need to be downloaded from the website. For some reason, I had thought they would send hard copies of everything to us. They do not.

    phase 1 SS cadre

    Thank you all for your responses. She (we) definitely have watched all the videos and she does know a lot of what to expect at Swab summer. She knows yelling is the norm. The element of yelling in a small space is the part she is most worried about. On a side note, I had thought one of the...

    phase 1 SS cadre

    My DD attended AIM. During AIM, they underwent a 'punishment' in which they went into a room and held a water bottle out in front of them while the cadre yelled and the platoon yelled the same phrase repeatedly. A few people fainted. The echoing of voices in the small space made my daughter have...

    Instrument to CGA?

    She will be so excited to hear about all of these opportunities! Thank you all.

    Instrument to CGA?

    That is good to know! She is going on the admitted student overnight on March 20th, and she hopes to find out more about the musical side of things. She will be MES and play volleyball, so she cannot be in Windjammers. But she cannot imagine four years without playing music or having music in...

    Instrument to CGA?

    My DD is hoping to play in the ensembles, and she plays the euphonium. Would she bring her own? Or would it be provided by CGA? Maybe she would bring it back after the Christmas break?

    Medically Disqualified ? Experiences

    CGA did notify us they requested a waiver. If you go into the DOD website, it will show you if a waiver has been requested.

    Medically Disqualified ? Experiences

    I just wanted to update that my DD's medical waiver was granted. She got notice of the medical disqualification December 23rd. CGA automaticaly requested a waiver. We had to provide additional medical information and February 6th, the waiver was granted. I think that made our experience a six...

    Medically Disqualified ? Experiences

    Thanks @ProudMom7 and @Capt MJ. We are compiling documentation. Our school district administrators are being very helpful at helping us provide clarity. In case this helps anyone else, a GIEP is not an IEP. DO NOT CHECK THE BOX!

    Medically Disqualified ? Experiences

    I am fairly confident that she was Dq'd for reporting she had an IEP. Technically, she does have an IEP, and she has had one since 4th grade. Our state writes IEPs for gifted education, and they are a legal document reviewed annually to ensure the school provides her with needed enrichment...

    Medically Disqualified ? Experiences

    My DD also got notified that she was deemed medically disqualified, and CGA has automatically requested a waiver. We do not know what the basis for the DQ was. I feel hopeful that the waiver was immediately requested. My daughter is very upset. I hope we find out more soon.

    GIEP and DODMETS

    Thanks. Yes, we have digital copies of her most recent GIEP, so I assume that will be sufficient. It just seems odd that they would not exclude the need to 'disclose' a GIEP. My DD wanted to be answer open and honestly to the questions.

    GIEP and DODMETS

    My DD indicated that she has an IEP on her DODMETS. We live in the state of PA and they use Gifted IEPs to accommodate students. I am worried that this will disqualify her as there was no place to indicate that the IEP was for her gifted/enrichment designation and I see that IEPs are a...
