[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was recruited for a sport at USNA. The biggest difference, IMO, was that you have to demonstrate to THEM how much you want to attend, unlike other schools that told DS how much THEY wanted HIM. It was explained to me that no one at Navy wants to talk a kid into joining the military. It’s too big a life decision. 
But the coach matched DS’s energy. The more DS communicated with him, the better things went. DS really liked the coach and got a lot of support through the process. We didn’t get the impression they could do anything about medical waivers, if you needed one. [/quote]

Op here.

Thanks for answering.

[b]Interesting. No medical waiver needed as far as we can guess.

My dcs experience has been a little different in that the coach was very encouraging of their academy, perhaps bc he knew dc has already been in touch with other academies so he knows dc is likely open to it. Recruitment interest at one has been going on since last year.

What sort of support did the coach give? I think our biggest concern is navigating the senator/rep recommendation process. [/quote]

Have your kid gone through the Dodmerb process yet?[/quote]
