My son got accepted to attend NASS. He wants to be an AeroAstro Engineer, is the pilot and a captain for his school robotics club, is in advanced and college level classes, got a 32 on the SAT, is in marching band, and is a really great kid.
However, you could pick him from a lineup as being the robotics/band kid. He's 5'9", 120lbs, can't do a pull up and his push ups are poor at best. He started working out last week when he found out he was accepted and is excited to go, but 3 months isn't a lot of time to prepare. He umpires baseball up to 10 hours a day on weekends, gets through 3 hour marching band practices carrying a drum, and played baseball/basketball until he was 14 so I'm not concerned about him making it through the day, but I am very concerned about the consequences of being the weakest male for PT and the sea trials.
For those who have attended, will his lack of physical ability be detrimental to the benefits and experience of attending?
Thanks
