ot: so how do a merchant ship and destroyer have a collision?

Good luck to your son on securing an appointment. I’m a USNA grad, retired with 21 years of service as a Naval Aviator. I have a very Navy family ... 2 of my brothers and a sister are USNA grads also. Sounds like you have things well in hand, but if I can be of any help please contact me.

I think it's just a matter of USNA getting everything he's recently accomplished. Prior to December, he had a Presidential Nom, a 30 ACT, was medically qualified, and had done well on the fitness test during Summer Seminar. In mid December, he scored a 34 ACT and got a Congressional Nom. I think it's just a matter of time.

I was a Mustang, E-1 to E-8 as a nuke submarine electrician and then O-1E to O-4 as a nuke LDO. SSBN728, SSN671, SSBN626, SSN683, CVN69, CVN71, CVN68, and AS39. I visited the Academy once. Little did I know the first ship of my 27 year career would be the newest.
