Hi all,
I was a candidate for USAFA last year, had a principle nomination, a medical waiver, and my ALO was almost sure that I would be offered an appointment. About a week after all the budget cuts happened I got that letter that starts out "we regret to inform you..." It all worked out in the end because I got a scholarship from AFROTC to go to Virginia Military Institute. I am in the middle of reapplying for this coming year to the Academy and am sure I want to reapply, but not sure that I want to through away all I've accomplished here at VMI to go to the Academy and start all over. They say VMI is the toughest school in the country, but I'd rather have a guaranteed commission and job waiting for me at the end of the tunnel if you know what I mean. Can I get some opinions out there? Stay? Don't stay? Any opinion is welcome. Thank you.
Very Respectfully,
A very stressed Rat
