I have about had it, so will vent here where some wannabes will benefit. Now hear this, attention all USNA applicants. Do not let your mothers respond to emails or phone calls from your BGO. Do not let your mothers make excuses for your application being incomplete. Do not let your parents try to hang around during your interview and for God's sake do not let them talk for you any other time they are present with your BGO! If your parents have done any of the above they are SEVERELY hindering your chances for selection to the USNA. Do not put up with it. If you need that kind of help at this stage of your life then you are not Navy officer material. Yes I have seen all the above and I am simply disgusted by it. Take a look at your life. Cut the damn apron strings before you apply to the Navy, any program, or don't bother!!:icon_rage
