Congrats...sounds harder than I applied to AF....

Had the Senator but still didn't make it in. Was competitive in everything but they chose another guy from my district who was a class President while I was only a Treasurer. That guy had zero team sports on his resume too...what a geek. ;) It worked out for me though. Best of luck to your uber achieving son!
