Hutch just sent the emails. Don't get all conspiracy theory on me. It's due to the construction.

Hey t!

Thought you would like to know that the middle kid was accepted to A&M a few weeks ago. There was really no doubt since he fell far from the tree with a keen ability to never study but get perfect scores...weirdo! Seems like just yesterday when I announced his arrival on the GB.

Anyhow, all we need now is for A&M to remove the out-of-state tuition! If not, he will most likely end up at LA Tech, but his he is really hoping for A&M.

Oh my goodness! How is he grown?!?!?! Does this mean we're finally old?

Any chance he's interested in the Corps? I'm pretty sure they have some decent scholarship opportunities for out of state kids.

FWIW:
" I am not a Texas resident. How can I receive the Corps non-resident tuition waiver?

A student must be lawfully present in the United States to receive a tuition waiver at Texas A&M University. All members of the Corps of Cadets who are not Texas residents, are lawfully present, and are in good standing with the University and the Corps of Cadets receive a non-resident tuition waiver. This waiver is applied to your account prior to the start of the semester.

Lawful presence is determined using these documents."

It's been almost a decade since my kid was in the Corps so I couldn't remember exactly what it was.

My guy is bummmmmmmmmed. Taking the summer to get some exposure elsewhere, but he'll be counting the days to a winter camp, for sure.

Mine is too. It does make planning vacation a little easier this year.

But at least people were able to park there for football!!

Helped my brother-in-law get full admittance to A&M by reaching out to the corps and he was a key brigade commander his zip year and has achieved lt col since commissioning. But he was a Texas resident so did NOT benefit from this.

I was not SURE how the non-resident tuition waiver worked and it is a HUGE benefit. I had it due to my Presidents's Endowed Scholarship so was keenly aware of the value.

Damn, we skipped winter camp this year in favor of summer. Wish we had known this earlier…

Yep, reach out to the Commandants Office, he or someone on his staff could most likely help him out.

Yes...the old thing is real!

My oldest (daughter) is off the payroll. She graduated last May. The youngest is a freshman in HS.

Time is flying by!
