Wasn’t it filmed in 2014 for the class of 2018? Weren’t they RTBs?

Just to close the loop on this, we got word today that there is no appointment from West Point. He’s a little sad he doesn’t get the opportunity to make the decision, but we thought the odds were slim when he said he would take the USAFA appointment over the AOG scholly. But we’re all glad to...

The service academies exist to train and educate people to be warfighters. It’s a principle driving force. If your personal feelings are at odds with that, then you likely have your answer.

No, I didn’t have the honor.

Thanks for the clarification. We’re fortunate that he has an appt to USAFA, so the wait isn’t excruciating. But, he’d definitely like the option to be his.

Here’s one we hadn’t yet read: Our rep does a principle nom and unranked slate. Our son got her principle nom to USAFA and also a Sen nom. And he also got on the rep’s slate for USMA. Both academies requested waivers from a football injury from this year. He got an appointment from USAFA...

When considering what backpack to get for carrying your stuff to R-Day, go back and watch the video of last year's R Day. It rained on those guys the whole day, and I can't imagine how soaked their stuff must have gotten.

My son was our rep's principle nom to USAFA, and also got on a senator's slate for USAFA. He also got on the rep's slate for West Point. Even though they were still waiting to clear waivers for a football injury, he received his appointment to USAFA back in January. We're assuming the...

Learned something else after watching last year's R-Day for the little school in NY. If possible, get a water-resistant or proof backpack. It was pouring rain on them, and everyone had everything in their bags soaked through. Doesn't rain a lot in the Springs, but it's been known to happen.

Thank you. I was hoping it would be that easy, and there wasn’t some inter-academy rivalry preventing that.

My son got into SLE for USMA. They will be taking the CFA while he is there. Does anyone know if/how he can submit the scores from that test to USAFA?

And this is what they chanted on the march back from JV every time someone said ”26”. It is “no quit, all grit”.
