Hey, we're not old, we're recycled "retro." Watch for me on American Bandstand. I'm the "A" in the Village People! and I moonlight as the Duke of Earl on beebop reruns! Oh man, where'd it all go ... | |

I just got my acceptance to session 3 in the mail! I never did get an email. Not sure if I can go because Minnesota Girl's State is the same week. I guess I'll find out after my interview tomorrow.

Tell them that, if you get a "go" to Girls State. Ask if they'll change your week. Nearly always will.
P.S. And in the event you go to USNA, you might wanna change your handle, partner. Could be a loooooooong week otherwise ... I hear Goatgirl is still available. | |

Unfortunately, session 3 is the only one I *thought I* could make. The other two sessions interfere with AFA SS session A. What?! No one has claimed Goatgirl yet? Go figure  | |

Thank you to everyone who sent private messages and posts over the past few weeks in response to my postings about not having gotten a response from the USNA about my application. It would be an honor to serve next to any and all of you if the opportunity arises in our future. How much better could it be having comrades who cared equally about each other as themselves. I, too, didn't receive an e-mail but I received my letter of acceptance to Session 1 in todays mail.
GO NAVY !!!!!

| Applying to all three ?
Question for you all - how many of you have applied and are going to USAFA, USMA and USNA summer seminars? And if you are, and will be missing school ( possibly finals) how are your school administrators handling things? My son has heard from USMA and USAFA and hopefully will hear soon from USNA. If USNA accepts him as well, he will be missing the last two weeks of class and finals. We're not sure how to approach the school about that many days. This has never been requested before at our high school. There will be several students out for a week, but not anything more. Suggestions?

At my daughter's high school, it would be no problem, because we have had a number of graduates attend the various SAs, so the administration may not be aware, or in some unfortunate cases, may not support, SA candidates. If your school does not have experience with the SA application process, I would suggest that your son put together an information packet for them, so they can see how important it is for your son to attend, to help him make an informed decision regarding attending a SA.
My other suggestion would be for your son to volunteer to take all of his exams early, before he leaves for the various seminars. If he is fully prepared to take his exams before he leaves, what harm would there be for him to miss the time? It may be necessary for his teachers to specially prepare exams for him, so you may want to acknowledge that cost, and your son may want to make a written statement that he will not divulge the contents of the exams to any of his classmates.

| As a last resort...
Hopefully all the suggestions offered will be successful as you explain to school administrators.
As a last resort, just in case, this is what worked for some folks we know. The school absolutely was not going to allow their child to miss any more school. So, the father graciously offered to withdraw her. And then re-enroll when they returned from whereever it was they were going. The school quickly backpedaled. The last thing they want is to have outstanding students withdraw. The numbers count against them for funding, percentage staying in school, etc.
We never had to take this step, however I know more than one family who did use this. I cannot imagine a school not recognizing the value of these summer leadership opportunities at the SA's and being honored that one of their students was selected to attend.
Good luck!

It seems that not all get emailed, either way.
