Perhaps I am alone on this, but am I the only one here who was caught totally unaware by the exceedingly tight medical requirements necessary to persue admittance to a service academy? My family does not live in an area with heavy military presence and we do not have much in the way of a...

Just a thought. My sons application is complete and we listed his Eagle Scout on his list of EA's. In retrospect, do we need to send any verification of this accomplishment to the Academy. For many other parts of the application process there is significant documentation required, now it seem...

OK, cant take it any longer and have to pose this. One of my sons DQ's from USNA was for an astigmatism, yet he was not DQ'd for the same issue by either USCGA or USAFA. I did a search of some past threads and from what I can find it appears theastigmatism standards for CGA and USNA are...
