Congratulations to all the Appointees. You've completed a great deal of work to get this far. But there is much more to come, as you can only imagine.
The next step is to decide if you want to accept your appointment or reject it.
Why do I say that?
Because, if you know right now you don't want to attend KP, please show your integrity (expected by all Academies) by letting USMMA know right now.
It will open a slot for someone else who wants to go FROM YOUR STATE. A young man or young woman can benefit from your honesty. It is the honorable thing to do. If you wait till the last day to reject, that opening to your state is GONE and goes into a US pool of candidates. Your state loses that slot on the last day. So does the "next in line" dying to get into KP.
Now of course, if you need time to think, great. I know many wait for their "first choice" ie: another academy. Think things through and if you've made your decision to go elsewhere please contact any Academy that has appointed you, so the slot is open. Thank you! And again, congrats on the Appointment!
