<p>Well said Jake. You sound like you’ve got your head on straight and that you’ll end up where you need to be. Your advise to have a backup plan is good stuff to remind others about, because we don’t always win the prize first time around. If USNA is your dream, head off to local college or better yet, one with an NROTC program, take some tough math, science, and english classes, and shoot for the stars again next year. Remember, nearly 30% of the incoming class at Annapolis are lads like you trying for the second time around…</p>
<p>Good luck and keep your head up - you made great progress this time around, and the 2nd time has GOT to be easier! :)</p>
