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.

I know you're a proud papa, even if it is the Navy. I kid, I kid...mostly.

An appointment to any service academy is alone, a tremendous accomplishment.

I wish him well. A life of service isn't easy and today's military makes it tougher.

Get through the plebe crap, find your rhythm and grind.

Good luck, young Rocky.

congrats to you and your son. That is a big accomplishment and a great program he is going into.

Awesome thing about the Naval Academy is that the graduates get to pick their boat/sub/duty location based on class rank. Pretty cool tradition.
