Thank you for the clarification! Assuming your DD/DS is 18yo at time of application / renewal it will be valid for 10 years which is nice! The funny thing is, renewing / applying now BEFORE Indoc will have many not looking at all like their passport picture! 😂 Currently my DS has a mop of curly...
Yes this is another factor to know! My DS has to do the same! Aside from passport and TWIC the other thing they mentioned on the call was to make sure you get wisdom teeth removed ASAP so that does not create an issue once at the academy.
Hi soccermom I’m so sorry about USNA but happy you’ll be joining us at USMMA! The 2028 FB page looks like this. I also joined the wrong one at first! They had a zoom call last night that was very helpful and there will be more to come! Also passport needs to be valid through graduation 2028. 😃

Thank you for this! So helpful to hear the ROTC contact told her to keep the acceptance - going to tell DS’s counselor that info. Congrats and good luck at West Point!
Thank you for the reply! My DS’s school is not at all familiar with SAs (I think my son is the first one to ever apply to one!) so I just don’t think they get the risks we face in deleting all plan bs too early. I think I read that there is a part of the common app agreement that says you can’t...
DS has now accepted his appointment to USMMA (yay!!) and we have a few questions:
1) Would it be good to send an email to nominators to let them know that you accepted and say thank you?
2) Should DS send an email to his USNA nominator (district rep who did not nominate him for USMMA) to let...
