I have two questions. From the App checklist:
First, for reference #2, how do we know which teachers are acceptable for which options? My son's preference would be to use his Math teacher and he is applying for Marine option. Is a Math teacher OK for this option?
Second, I find it extremely odd that my son's USNSCC (Sea Cadet) CO cannot be used as a reference. Or can he? Would he qualify as reference #3 as a 'coach'? If not, he can use his Varsity Football coach but I assume that his Sea Cadet CO would be a better option if allowed.
These are the final two items before submitting the App. Thanks.
REFERENCES Provide the names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses for
three required references: 1) a guidance counselor/school administrator; 2) a math, science, or English
teacher (depending on program option), and 3) another teacher, counselor, coach, or employer. For
teachers, please provide the mailing address for the school instead of a home address.
Note: A Physics teacher cannot be used to complete the Math teacher evaluation
These individuals will be provided instructions on how to complete the necessary forms. We will ask
these individuals to evaluate you in several areas and to compare you to your peers; they will also have
space to provide written remarks. You should select these individuals carefully as weight will be given
to their comments.
