I am hearing that some candidates are getting CVW invites this past month. Anyone on this board got one yet?
My son, hoever, will need a waiver from USNA to get past the DQ that DODMERB hit him with last month. Seems that if you have ever had surgery on your knees (like he did 2 yrs ago) it's an automatic DQ, regardless of current status. However, we've been told that USNA can waive this if everything else pans out (MOB nom, grades, etc). And since he's currently on the HS tennis team and the cross country team (he's run 250 miles just in the past month or so) we're hopeful they will recognize that his knees are just dandy!
He attended NASS (as well as AIM and AFSS but Annapolis is his dream) but he'd still like to attend CVW to get the full effect. He's recieved no CVW invite yet like the rest of you - do you think the DQ is holding this up? Or worse, eliminating him?
