Well it was a really rough ride last year. Although DD#1 was eventually qualified through DoDMERB with no waivers needed it took them months to get their act together. There was some problem and the academy finally had to get involved. She had received an LOA and the only thing pending was medical. I had no experience at any of this and I don't think I was much help to her. She piloted this ship all on her own. She is currently a plebe in class of 2028.
But wait!
There's more!
Now after summer seminar and visiting on plebe parents weekend and talking to Big sis, DD#2 has decided to apply to USNA for class of 2029. I didn't realize I got to do this roller coaster twice! In a row no less.
I would love to do a survey of the students at USNA and find out how many are only children or firstborns. And then how many are middle children.
DD#3 is a sophomore so she would be in class of 2031 if she applies and is admitted. She has a recent health challenged to overcome first.
Good luck to all applicants!!!
