I received mine a week ago and my USNA portal reflected that within an hour.
Yeah I've been waiting for a few days as well
There has been a few here and there posted on the site. Most will come in the next 8 weeks or so.
Planning summer vacations (or holidays or long weekends) are always going to be complicated from now on. We are still on hold to see how the “summer blocks” are going to workout I hope you don’t hv to purchase that Disney annual pass againMy son is SO MUCH better at this than I am! His application was done in August, passed CFA in June at NASS and DoDMERB cleared in early Sept. So it's been nothing but wait since then!! The little spark of joy when he got the nom in late November but another dry 2 months since. I think part of the problem is I work at a computer most of the day so it's really easy to say "oh, I'll just pop on and check really quick" whereas he's busy in school and swim and life and doesn't even have access to his portal most of the day. I think the hardest part for me is all of the things I have had to decide not knowing. Dumb example but his Disney World annual pass expired on Dec 21st and with the 30 day grace period, I still had to decide whether or not to renew it without knowing if he got in. It may seem silly, but they're not cheap and you currently cannot buy them unless you are renewing. So giving it up means he can't get one again but paying for it is silly if he can't use it. Same for scheduling summer things with my other 2 kids. These are the things I have to think about while my 17 year old is blissfully unconcerned.
Still...with applications closing, now every week that passes is going to be harder. Before it was easy to say "well, they're still getting applicants" but now we know it's crunch time. Here is hoping we all get some good news soon!!!!!
Ah, those dreaded First World problems. The horror, the horror!
like one of mine did!). It could even be June!!
Some of you wont find out until May (
100 more days (give or take).
3 more months.
12 weeks.
A quarter of a year.
Focus on plan B. Don’t leave that until later. Plan dorms. Pick roommates. Buy a sweatshirt. Figure out food plans. Don’t let the rest of your senior be consumed with this. You don’t get a do-over!! It’s out of your control. Put it on the back burner, and be present in the end of your K-12 career with your classmates (and parents!!) that you will be saying ‘see ‘ya later’ as you move on to the next chapter of your life.
Don’t let this process consume you. The reality, is that many (most??) of our posters here will be turned away this time. There simply isn’t enough room.
Treat Plan B, as Plan A, and then maybe a nice little surprise will pop up one day.
What is a group “shave his head” bbq? Friends and fam literally taking turns on shaving his head?
Ah, those dreaded First World problems. The horror, the horror!
Someday, should he attend USNA and then proceed to AD, you’ll look back at this “dilemma” and probably roll your eyes. What’s the old Yiddish saying, “Man plans, God laughs.” When it comes to things academy and military, God laughs twice as hard.
Semper Gumby. Always flexible.
What do you mean by “lasts”
I decided to take my DS on a trip over spring break because of the uncertainty of the summer. I let him pick the destination. I was hoping for something tropical. Headed to Lisbon, Prague and Dresden March 10-17.
