Wow! small world! We go to a lot of meets together. Congrats on the A team win! yes, that was my son. :-) thanks! I know I've seen your son at a few meets this year. Is he a senior? What's next for him?
Do they have a formula for calculating PT scores for Bro. Martin or do they just forfeit all their PT points since they don't have any girls? I always wondered about that and thought it would be unfair for them to get no points in PT. They seemed to have a really competitive team this year. I don't know who lit a fire under Neshoba this season, but they came from nowhere!
As far as I know, only the top 2 from each area are invited to Nationals, but some years there are schools that cant come and so in order to have 26 teams they have let the #3 schools from area 7 and 8 go because we are geographically close. I'm not sure if our team will or should go though. I have very mixed feelings. I'd really like for my son to get to compete in academics. The last 2 times he has tied for the 10th highest score- but finished out of the medals bcuz of tie scores at higher places.

@lori4629 we won 1st place in academics did not qualify for Nationals either. My son is CO of his Unit at Brother Martin High School. Our Cadets were disappointed also but the competition was incredible.
We had the same feeling - they had been working hard to prepare for this meet and he is also ready for a break.
I thought the top 3 teams went to Nationals? I remember seeing your son get the award - Pine Forest? Congrats

@gmwrdh, my son and his unit were there. He won academics and had a great meet but sadly the team finished 3rd and didn't qualify for Nationals for the first time in 5 years! Sad face, but I think he's really ready for a break and the thought of spending every waking moment for the next month getting ready for Nationals doesn't sound like much fun at this point. How about you? What school and how'd y'all do?

Arwen- I hope she sticks with the program. Jordan loves it. He just got a school award for Acedemic Excellence. NJROTC has a great group of kids. Maybe if she was able to go to Competitions she would become more involved and make friends more easily. Is she on any teams? PM me anytime if you want.

Erin is struggling in her NJROTC group. She's thinking of quitting at the end of this year. I am encouraging her to stick it out for all four years, but I'm not going to force her to do so. She has a lot of demanding (honors) coursework, and it's just going to get more stressful next year, when she has to add a foreign language to the core academics for her sophomore year.
She has also fallen into a circle of friends who, while they aren't anti-military, are not supportive at all, especially her boyfriend who is mad because they can't do PDAs when she's in uniform.
She gets along with all the other cadets, but hasn't become friends with any of them. She has also made no friends among the other honors students either.
All of her friends are remedial to average-level students, and are considered "at risk" for everything from drug use and dropping out to early pregnancy. They see her as odd for her interest in academics (especially science and the military), and kinda ignore it. Any time she takes time away from them for academic pursuits they act like she's abandoning them. These are the same kind of kids she was friends with at her middle school, where we moved from. I don't know what to do about it. Any advice would be appreciated.

My daughter is only a freshman, so she's not to that point yet.
She's not interested in the academies (she wants a more relaxed college experience), and plans to go NROTC at either U Colorado or U Washington.

@ Berqquis, I suggest you ask your question on the NROTC forum. My daughter is NROTC @ Auburn and I would definitely suggest that any qualified student pursue NROTC!!! It would be the best thing he could do if he wants to go Nuke Eng. and yes he'll make more money. There is the possibility of being sent to OCS from enlisted ranks, but ROTC or the Academy is the most direct route.
