My son was appointed to the USMA prep school, West Point

Time has flown for me over these last two years, with all the activities my son has had me involved in working to gain an Appointment to a Service Academy. My son started out with an application to the USNA and was DQ'd last July at his DoDMERB physical for color vision deficiency!!!....bad day but, it forced him to work on his USMA (West Point) application. Last December, with my friend Roofeditor joining us at the Congressman's office, my son was able to pull out the "Prime Nomination" and that ultimately won him his appointment to the United States Military Academy Prep school this July. He'll have to do 10 months there, and then join the Class of 2014 at West Point the following July.

Higgins knows how hard this process is and I guess I'll see him at the Army Navy game later this year lol
Go Army, beat Navy.

Excellent news! The Naval Academy is one of the finest schools in the Nation.

Graduates of the Naval Academy (and the Air Force/Army equivalents) get both a top-notch education, but obtain leadership skills. Harvard and other Ivy League colleges are not on the same playing field.
