I am hoping someone can give my son some advice on our specific situation for the letter of recommendation. USAFA recommends 2 letters other than teachers/counselors. It states the candidates can not use family, step, uncles, etc. Now, for us, my former step brother went to the naval academy. My mom and his dad divorced (over 20 years ago) before my son was even born, so technically they aren't related. But, he has been in my son's life and has been helping him through the process. He can vouch for my son's accomplishments, abilities, and achievements in detail. I advised my son that he would be considered more of a family friend to my son rather than any relation. My question to the forum is, would the academy still considered them related even though they are removed as family or can he ask him for a letter? I was hoping to get some clarification before we formally reached to him. Thanks everyone!
