Be ready to ask lots of questions at CVW. Pick their brain. If you could, attend the briefs and Q&A for parents on Friday will definitely give you something to compare with your own experience. Best of luck to the fine young man you raised!He's been fortunate - has been appointed to both academies and has ROTC options. Doing a overnight at USMA in a couple of weeks and a CVW at Navy the week after - that should help. For him anyhow, it has been a lot of activity - he plays three sports in HS, and with that and school work, etc - not a lot of time for refection - I think he will have some time to reflect over next few weeks - just finished basketball and baseball does not start in earnest till early April... We are just being supportive, and keep telling him there is no pressure - just think it all through. It was a bit different in my day, but some similarities - it all kind of snowballs and once you are accepted, there is some sense of pressure - expectations of others, etc. Exciting times for sure, but its been a bit of a whirlwind for him I think.
