My USAFA counselor told me yesterday that my file is going to the panel this week. I should be receiving my TWE soon and then I will probably join the Marines
It's not over until it's over!

and in this case, "over" means the third week of June.....It's not over until it's over!

Why such a negative attitude. My file went to the board yesterday and I am supposed to hear the outcome in the next couple of days, very hopeful. FWIW the XC and track coach who are recruiting me told me the board will not be meeting for the next two Wednesdays which I assume means no appointments for the next three weeks, which fits in with the timeline they want.
How can they do that? That means that they would start again until march 7th. leaving 2 weeks to get the majority of the appointments out, that means that they would be reviewing hundreds of people each time they met.

Same here. Some days I'm good with it. Other days it drives me insane.
I know that it may seem easy to say that we parents and our DD's and DS's should try and sit back and enjoy the ride, but the waiting part (when we don't know our answer) is not that easy or simple to do. My DS has already been accepted to quite a few other colleges and universities, but he hasn't even opened those schools' packets. His heart is set on the USAFA or the USNA and it is currently not good timing to really discuss what he will do (or where he will go to school) if he doesn't get his heart's desire. Just like the dad who is so proud of his DD and Christcorp who is so proud of his son who is about to graduate from the USAFA, we are are so incredibly proud of our son too! He is such an awesome young man but I know that so are the wonderful young men and women leaders that are also such utterly terrific, fantastic, honorable and worthy candidates. I realize that the job of selecting from so many talented and remarkable candidates must be unimaginably difficult. I too believe that God has a plan for my son... My son has amazing faith and he does believe that God's plan for his life includes his being accepted to the academy. We need prayers that the medical waiver review board will agree... Our prayers continue for all of you in this most challenging month ahead.
Another thing I look at - each time there is a new post on the official appointment thread - I'm relieved when it's not from my district. If a nominee gets selected from our MOC - does that mean it's "over" for DS?
Welcome to the Club!!Hello, I have been "stalking" everyone and awaiting the BFE...is it March yet? I am so anxious I can hardly stand it. It is great to come on these forums and read that other parents are as nervous, anxious, and excited as me!! Good luck to everyone!!! I just keep telling myself March is almost here!!!
Oh how wonderful (sarcasm)! We have to wait an extra day for March, as it is a leap year...
