    DS just got the call ----- LOA on the way!

    1. I don' think there is anything wrong with being openly supportive. I just don't think this is the place for that where there are many people still seeking an appointment and even fewer who are fortunate enough to have an LOA; and as your father said some may be more qualified than you.

    DS just got the call ----- LOA on the way!

    Why do people feel the need to boast about their children getting an LOA? Also is it really necessary to publicly congratulate "Way to go boy we love you" and let us all know that you have a hard decision ahead of you on this forum?.....Its borderline obnoxious, not to mention all those smiley...

    Separated Past 2/C Year or Beyond

    Is this the person who lied about her height so that her weight would fall in regs? If so theres much more to this Mids history than "their grades have never been good" and "their first conduct/honor problem".

    How am I doing? What should I do to improve?

    I-day recommendations for (very) small plebe?

    "I was suddenly transported back in time to the summer of '75"....plebe summer now is nowhere near as bad as it was in 1975, even far "easier" than in the early 2000s. Now, to "punish" plebes detailers make them do writing assignments, like write out a paragraph 20 times. I bet 10 years ago...
