Four years ago, DS applied to USNA and NROTC. He did not receive an appointment and was devastated as his dream since about age 4 was to attend Annapolis and become a Navy Pilot. He did receive a full 4 year NROTC scholarship. His Plan B, however, was not without a hiccup. He was assigned to...

Does CGA recruit like the other SA's do? And if so, how much does that help a candidate's application?

My son applied to both USNA and NROTC for class entering 2008. His medical was sent for waiver review for both. He ultimately did not recieve an appointment for USNA and so his medical never left the waiver board. He was awarded a NROTC scholarship and received a waiver. He has now decided...

I've been trying off and on for three weeks to respond to a PM from Tactical Nuke. Each time I try to send the message, I get the following message: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /private.php on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying...

A huge "Thank You" goes out to RetNavyHM. My son received word yesterday, just two hours before his graduation, that his medical waiver was approved for NROTC. We've been through Methacholine Challenge testing and a DQ for nephritis, and like so many others here, RetNavy has been a calming and...

The past two weeks have been quite a roller coaster ride! First S found out that he did not receive appointment to USNA. Three days later he was notified that he was selected for a 4 Year NROTC Scholarship. Last night he received an email stating that he had not been placed in a unit because...

Is anyone else having trouble logging into the CIS today? DS tried this morning and he couldn't get in. He's a candidate for 2012, and yes, we are still waiting...need a waiver. I wonder if it has anything to do with the preliminary application for 2013 being available today?

DS checked his CIS today and it showed a nomination (dated Jan 31) from Senator (2) from Alabama. He was shocked. He had received a letter from Senator (1) politely telling him that since he already had a nom from his Rep., he would not receive a second nom. He applied to both senators, but...

Our son has to do a Methacholine challenge test. Concorde gave us the info to make appointment for the testing this afternoon. We called to make the appointment and the scheduler told me: They would not just give the test. Son would have to come in, see the doctor (earliest appointment 3...

DoDMERB received our son's remedials yesterday and according to the website a letter was sent today requesting another remedial: a methacholine challenge test. We are a little surprised since the last time he had any wheezing, he was 11 years old and there was no mention of asthma, wheezing or...

We finally have my son's remedials (allergies questionnaire and medical records age 10 to present) completed and ready to send in to DoDMERB. Quick question: Should he send a cover letter with the packet, and if so, what should it contain? Thanks! Anxious Mom

My son has 3 remedials to complete (2 administrative, 1 medical). We have to provide copies of records from age 10 to present and fill out the allergies questionnaire. When he took initial exam, the doctor forgot to note his pulse rate on the form...that has already been taken care of. Like...
