<p>One more thing....the LOA is implicit in letting you know you are scholastically qualified - so that's why an LOA candidate never gets the "Triple-Q" letter</p>
<p>at the risk of being the bearer of bad news: we have been cautioned that the waiting never stops- not when you get an LOA, or the coveted nomination, or the cherished letter of appointment- one still needs to report healthy- a lot can happen between now and then, and kids have turned up on I-day with a broken this, a torn that, and sent packing for another day- </p>
<p>welcome to the roller coaster ride of your life (or so we've been told!) :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I concur Navy2010...everytime my daughter talks about going on a winter camp trip, or driving far away, or the like, this Italian mama imagines that she'll break a leg or get mono or the like....and 'ruin' her chances. My husband laughs at me - I have to work at letting life go on as planned and trusting God has a hand in all this process not just for my kid, but all our kids and that they will be there they all belong next year at this time.</p>
<p>peskemom: our son got mono 1 week and 2 days after reporting to his foundation school this year.....no sooner did we drop him off that we were packing him up again for R&R at home......so I am in absolute agreement with you that we have to trust that things work out for a reason- can you imagine what would have happened if that took place a week into plebe summer? Now healthy and "on track," I just want to wrap him up in bubble wrap - he survived soccer season, but only to be replaced with basketball, and already he is planning the winter ski trip with his buddies....and we still have to get through spring lacrosse in one piece! I am getting grayer by the day! And I am not even Italian! (although us Irish are known to be very superstitious!) Oye vey... better add on a few more Hail Mary's!</p>
