It is a hell of a process. He will be there for Aeronautical Engineering.
If he didn’t earn the appointment to USNA he was heading to Auburn.
Enters in June.

Thank you sir, it was a very long and arduous process, but rewarding when the result is getting in.

Thank you Jang, the young man made a goal over a year ago and he made it happen. You are right, when he told me yesterday he got his official appointment and accepted I was very proud.
Luckily my kids are all much better people than their dad.

I did ROTC at Alabama for two full years. Ended up enlisting instead.
Those two years though I was in the University's honors program, physical training MWF at 5am in the morning, and lived a very mature life as a college kid in a college town. Doing the Naval route is a very grown up thing that will pay dividends for life. I should have stuck with ROTC but enlisted in the guard instead. Started partying and then GPA dropped like a rock.

Thank you all for the kind words.

Damn, RockyMtnTigerWDE, that is impressive! He made the Naval Academy and is going for aeronautical engineering. That young man has a computer on his shoulders.
If he's brave might he wear an Auburn shirt under his cadet uniform when attending the football games? Well maybe not during his pleb year anyway.
