<p>A big thanks to Zaphod and also raimius for the reposting of this excellent discussion on the sometimes difficult decision of accepting an appointment to a SA… well thought out and good advice…I printed and gave it to my son to read and digest…he’s leaning USNA but still waiting to hear from a few more schools he applied to…Vandy and UVa, … He’s visiting USNA (again) in 2 weeks for a CVW which should assist him in making that final and important choice…</p>
