My sons grandfather (WWII Army Air Corp pilot) could not grasp why the boy didn't want to apply to the Airforce Academy after all is that not where THE Pilots are? Son also does have an eye issue, not 20/20 but under 20/40 so decided that flying a desk was not a good choice but would have choices at USNA.
LOL USNA69 we too had that sinking feeling when other top choice came April 1th. Kind of like how are we really going to pay for that! He even talked to second choice about keeping a slot through I Day for that just in case scenario. To our dismay they countered with until PPW - talk about a real sinking feeling for an entire summer - are we going to get the dreaded "I'm out of here" and now we have two weeks to cough up big dollars. Needless to say he is a "happy camper" exactly where is and now like the commercial says I can spend the college fund!
