Still in the game

We called. Goes to voice mail, called MOC...looking into it, our BGO (who I might add is a wonderful guy and has been nothing but helpful) emailed off to see what is up....still nothing.

I do believe we have found another dimension previously never described in this process. Welcome my friends to no man's land.

So as the work day concludes on the east coast I will progress to pondering what cocktail I should have with dinner on the west coast.

Crazy

Currey, this is crazy! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

How are you not bouncing off the walls? :jump1:

So, I guess NML (No Man's Land) is some rare variant of NWL (National Wait List)?

Nothing to suggest except a G&T, hold the T.

Still hoping for you.

I am past the Gin stage and am now doing it California Style! Carne Asada Tacos for dinner with a Corona and lime. Who knows, this is a once in a life time thing right? Maybe the Don Julio will come out for a bit of sippin on the porch in the spring breeze.

Please note I do not drink this much usually, but hey, a girl has to sleep and I am not adding the workouts DS is adding in the mornings to remain sane.

I would go with a margarita - you deserve it! Truly, I am appalled you have been waiting this long. All joking aside, I think it is disgusting. I feel so sorry for you, DS and DH. I would be hounding everyone and anyone that could get me an explanation as to why the 15th has come and gone with no answer. That has been their answer since the application process started - everyone will know by the 15th of April...... OK, back to joking -

I'm a tax paying citizen - I'll call and demand to know what my money is paying for because my friend Currey has not heard yet! Just who am I paying because they are not working hard enough! :bang::help:

Lol! Mom has been instructed to stand down, DS says he is not giving up the ship and the only date he cares about in the future are May 1st and July 1st. If they can hit those marks and he gets something positive out of it is good. Oh and he promised to buy me the wig or hat of my choosing cause he knows I will have no hair left by then :biggrin:

Well give him a big hug from your forum friends and tell him we are pulling for him. Now go get that drink.

Seriously, good luck with that wig. My sister's husband once told her that it was a dream of his that a red head would pick him up in an airport. So they were flying East and meeting each other in Chicago coming from different places. She had bought a red wig and spotted him in the bar waiting for her. She came up behind him, said some sexy things, and he turned around and saw the red hair. She tells that he almost had a heart attack, was speechless, and took a minute to really recognize her. It was the best joke she's ever played on him. He tells he'll never, ever forget that deja vu feeling. :rolleyes:
 
Well your forum friends are not telling you to stand down...we want answers! So get out the soup can phone and "call" admissions. Get it all off your chest. Then have another drink!

We are pulling for you!
 
Just got in from DS baseball game. Poured myself a beverage and jumped on the forum to see if Currey had received any news. I know the wheels in government turn slowly, but this is ridiculous! I am so sorry that you and your family have to go through this. I will have a second cocktail to keep you company. Hang in there!
 
Well I just had 2 drinks out with DH. Started with a French Martini and followed with a Pinot Grigio all while regaling DH about the forum musings of the day. DS should just show up on July 1. That's my decision. E

Currey,
I've been reading this thread for a while, but have yet to comment. However, I have a piece of info that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else, so here is my two cents...My DS has an LOA dated Feb 7 that was contingent upon a color blind medical waiver. We have been anxiously waiting for a decision. It is my understanding that the Superintendent makes the color blind medical waiver decisions. He can approve 2% or 24 of them for each class. Apparently, the Superintendent waits until all the candidates have been notified, then reviews all the color blind waiver files at one time to determine waiver granted or waiver denied. This afternoon, he apparently reviewed all or some of those files. Fortunately for my DS, late today his color blind waiver was granted. But...the Superintendent could have denied some of these candidates' waivers. It's possible he might have freed up some spots for those of you still waiting or some of the primary noms that generally have had spots in the past. Good luck to you and anyone else still waiting.

Thank you so much for the heads up. I really have no idea why or where, I do know that he was medically Qed back in November. Did you get a call from the academy or your MOC today? Just holding on to this roller coaster and listening to the click, click, click without being able to see where the top is and the whirlwind begins.

Is the 2% approval for all medical waivers within the class? Just curious.

Congrats to your DS! So very nice to hear good news!

The 2% is the maximum number who can receive a waiver for color blindness. In most years, the actual number receiving such waivers is much lower than 2%.

2% is NOT the number for all medical waivers.
 
The USNA medical technician advised us that the LOA was good until the medical waiver decision was reached. We were advised the waiver decision would be posted on DodMerb and that she would personally email my DS. (He's a Marine in Okinawa so postal notifications takes two weeks when sent snail mail.) The 2% is only for color blind medical waivers and that is the only medical waiver decision made by the Superintendent. The rest of the medical waivers are made by the Waiver Authority. I'm glad your DS was medically qualified, but there are bound to be some that didn't get their waiver approved, so maybe it freed up some openings. I'm encouraged that you didn't receive a TWE yet, so maybe they are waiting for some unusual spots to be available. Keep your chin up and fingers crossed. I'm impressed with the positive attitude of your DS!
 
Joining you with a cocktail

Well, I guess it is more like a night cap as it is 10:36 EST.

Just back from choir practice and the grocery store, and like others, settled down to peek at the Forum just sure there would have been news received. :confused:

Continuing our music theme, there is a country(ish) song that says "Every storm runs, runs out of rain; just like every dark night turns into day".

Lifting my glass in a toast and wishing sunny skies for you and your DS tomorrow.
