It's getting close... I know I am early, and I will probably just get told to be patient haha, but has anyone heard anything about the status of the PTR? Just curious if anyone has been given a date they are shooting for and if it could maybe be soon since USAFA send theirs out recently.

Almost 3 months till I-day!! :eek:😶:help:
 
I believe during my son’s cycle they came out late April early May. You can prep for it by gathering things you will need. Birth certificate, vaccination records, addresses for places lived, schools attended, places worked for the last ten years. You need names and addresses of immediate and some extended family. Most of that is for the SF-86 form which is for a clearance.
If you don’t have a passport you could apply. It isn’t required but comes in handy if you get selected for a trip (DS got selected for an LREC trip end of plebe year and without his passport wouldn’t have been eligible).
Spend time with family. Quality time. Cleanup your room and closet. Make memories with your family and friends. Stay safe and healthy.
Run.
 
I have a question regarding appointments. I know someone that was awarded an LOA and appointment in November. This person attends the same high school as my child who is hoping for an appointment. This person will decline their appointment however they have not yet.
How does the delay to decline impact potential appointments from the same high school and district? Will an appointment slot become available after this person declines?

It doesn’t affect it. Your son is competing on his member of Congress slates and in the overall competitive national pool.

Each year students from the same school, congressional district receive appointments.

The academies build in the ‘attrition’ that comes with applicants choosing other academies or paths.

They are taking time to build the best class that they can. It’s a complex jigsaw puzzle and only they know what the finished oi

Yes. But I was speaking to the information that he stated that the medical office said they sent a fax. And that DODMERB is saying they haven’t received it.

I would follow up with that. DODMERB can’t proceed without test results. It’s up to the candidate to take care of AMI’s. If it’s not received? That’s not ‘taking care of it’.

DODMERB team from PA office called last night to inform that they received the medical report from the doctor's office. She said it would be uploaded to the portal by the end of the week. This was the missing (hopefully last) piece the Naval admissions office was looking for.
 
Still CPR, but I was wondering if, in general, when another person wins the slate they deliver the TWEs immediately or wait until the 15th to do so?
 
More than one person can come off a slate, even if they are only charging the MoC with one appointment. There are other discretionary nomination sources that can be leveraged. TWEs are sent out all the time, but the bulk of people tend to see them in mid-April.

They may wait. Much depends on whether the SA plans to come back to the slate to offer other fully qualified applicant(s) an appointment(s) that will be charged to another nom source other than the elected official, a nom source they control. The decision to send a declination is not rushed, and they will make sure that candidate, even though fully qualified, is not one they will choose this year. Now, if some of the nominees on the slate are not fully qualified (physical-CFA, medical-DoDMERB, scholastic-academic plus all other evaluated factors), I could see those nominees being told sooner rather than later.
 
My DS has been "under waiver review" since January. They have not requested anything, but we have submitted a letter from his specialist stating that he is 100% cleared with no restrictions and the issue was 3 years ago. Our DS is a recruited athlete and the not knowing is really hard especially since plan B coach has kind of lost interest because it wouldn't be fair for him to commit to them when he doesn't have an answer to his first choice. Is it normal for the waiver process to take this long?
 
Has your son reached out to the USNA medical team directly?

My son showed "under review" in his first cycle for a long time, but when he reached out to the team, they told him it had already been approved weeks before.

Oh wow! That's awesome!

He reached out a couple of weeks ago to the DoDMERB help desk email and inquired about the process. The response he received was very basic. So today he reached out again and asked "where" he is in the process and if they might be able to give him an idea of "when" his case might be processed. Is there a different contact for USNA medical team specifically?
 
The USNA team is the one who would review and approve any waiver. DoDMERB passes things off to them once they have made their DQ determination, hence the reason they can't tell you much more.

I'm not sure how my kid got through to the USNA team, but once he did, he just asked for clarifications as needed. Definitely came in handy for the second round when the same waiver was carried forward for the one issue, but he got DQed (in April) again for a different (non)issue.
 
Just curious, but is it reasonable to ask your representative‘s office about the slate? How many were submitted and if you’re in the primary spot?
