<p>usnso- hold up- for a minute I thought the “thin letter” was for your admission to USNA!!! Wheew…</p>
<p>NASS: I wouldn’t get all crazed about not getting in- this is NOT the end of the road by a long shot! If it is any encouragement to you, our son did not get in either- but he will be joining the class of 2010 nevertheless!!!</p>
<p>So don’t give up the ship by any means! Just find another boat…</p>
<p>DO consider going to a sports camp at USNA over the summer- they are GREAT- try crew- you will get to stay on the yard, eat in Kings Hall, and get a feel for life there- you will even spot the plebes going through their stuff- and while it is not NASS, it does give you some insight into what goes on- so do consider that!</p>
<p>And DO stick with Sea Cadets- it’s a great program- I know it helped the Thorpedo out with all his boating stuff, and he can tie a bowknot better than anyone I know!</p>
<p>DO get yourself involved in a sport- any sport- but something you can enjoy! You have time- but get on it! start this summer!</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
