<p>USNA69: great story!</p>
<p>Going through this journey w/ my son this year has really been great for many people. My students have traveled the road with us…several of them now see that it is a possibility for them, too. One student said, “my dad says you can’t get in unless you know someone.” I assured him, that while his dad is a fine man, he is wrong. I know “no one.”</p>
<p>My younger son (6th grade) has talked of being an astronaut for years. He has decided that USNA will prepare him best for his future in space. It’s great when kids start early, as they can get on the right paths both academically and athletically to ensure a well rounded candidacy. I don’t know how older brother (USMA 2012) will react when little bro goes Navy…but that’s a few years away still!!</p>
