Very True. It's also possible to get sent to prep school. Honestly the prep programs are probably good for everyone even those who are academically well qualified. A year of free preparation for the rigors of SA life is an awesome deal.
I'm not in your situation, as I had my wisdom teeth removed years ago. I have a small mouth and that made it hard to clean. I ended up dealing with 6 months worth of complications. It's not likely that'll happen to you, but it's possible. I would wait.
I reached out to my regional commander and preemptively asked to review my application in the event I was rejected. I also stayed in regular contact with my FFR. I think that played a role in me getting in last minute.
One more thing I wanted to add. Thank you to everyone here who has been praying for me and the other candidates. It's encouraging to see so many people going to the lord in prayer. Congrats to all the appointees, and I'm praying for everyone still waiting.
I come from a heavy Navy and Air Force family, including one brother that's a USNA grad. After turndown's from USNA and USAFA I get to say GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY & AIR FORCE

Still nothing for me. I emailed my FFR to see if he knew anything, because my plan B is asking for a timeline regarding west point decisions. He said he'll do some poking around to try and found out what's going on.
To say it's anything but is a bit misleading. This is one of those halfway suits. It has the blue FINA approval that a tech suit is supposed to have. However it does not have the QR code. You are correct that it is not hydroponic, but according to the description it does provide compression...
They also don't last very long. OP would start having issues after a couple of weeks.
There's nothing wrong with getting one that goes to the knees as long as it's not a tech suit.
