Its all about the slate you are on. If you are #1 in your slate, then you have a 100% chance of getting a appointment. Less than that, the chances start to drop. One has to look at this as a regional rather than a national pool.

This thread has gone to the surreal in like a hour. 😆 😆

The OP made this thread and posts only about this email in a span of 20 minutes and then vanished. That context should be considered in regards to posting this email. This is not the first time related to USAFA a one time poster drops a "bomb" thread and then vanishes. Someone has a vested...

When you write not medically cleared, are you talking about DoDMERB or the Preparticipation Physical Form that NSI has you generate? We don't need to know the reasons you are not medically qualified, I'm just trying to narrow down some facts. You do not have to be DoDMERB qualified to go to...

I wondered that also.

Your looking fine. A sports team would look better, but only do something you are interested in. Keep up the good work.

@GoatBoat5 gets credit for the best nickname for this Plebe. 24hr Plebe for the win!!

The best part of the tripadvisor link is all of the travel notices "Travel Notice • It is currently recommended to avoid all non-essential travel to this area." 😆

Slow your roll @OldRetSWO. It was a joke. I apologize if I hurt your tender sensibilities about NYC/NJ pizza. Clearly you are the king gatekeeper when it comes to what is and is not pizza, sorry if you feel I didn't bow down enough to the all great and powerful NYC/NJ pizza empire.:screwy:

Another aspect to consider is that CORTRAMID and NSI in the same summer is not 100% guaranteed. You have to have a CAC in order to do CORTRAMID. Your scholarship has to be activated in order to get a CAC. Getting NSI done, getting a CAC, and then going to CORTRAMID may not be a for sure thing...

Pizza is like BBQ. It is done in so may different ways that no one way is really "right". Except for pineapple on pizza, that was invented by Lucifer himself to get more souls for hell.... Stay away if you value your soul :cool:

Or maybe trying to be funny and get a smile out of the cadre? Either way, I bet he did not always get the reaction he was hoping for that day. Being the "Grey Man" has a higher success rate. Though he does have a good story to tell later in life.

It is waiverable. The fact you stopped taking it at 15 will be a big help as you can show years of not taking it with no problems. I know of a Mid who took it as a teenager and was found medically qualified. I'm not saying your case will 100% be medically qualified because every case is...

NSI is a requirement to activate a NROTC scholarship. At least right now. NSI usually only needs the "sports physical" and not DODMERB qualified to attend, so I'm not sure why you were not medically qualified. Though it doesn't really matter in your question. As mentioned above, I would...

WOW!!! Such a great story. Never give up the ship! We all need to remember this thread come April when applicants are complaining about having to wait a few more days to get a appointment or TD. This soon to be Plebe waited months longer!
