It has been a long time since I have posted to the forum. Today is my last day at the Academy. (Processing out took a long time.) Like trackandfield08 I was really unlucky medically this summer. Before everything started going downhill swab summer was an amazing, if incredibly difficult...
wisdom teeth
I need to get my wisdom teeth removed, but the soonest I can get it done isnt until after June 1st, should I wait to send the dental x-rays after i've had the procedure and notify CGA by phone or letter that my x-rays will be late? Or should I get the x-rays done now and just...
Way to go!!!! Hopefully these pirates wil not mess with an American Flaged Vessel ever again. Hopefully no one was hurt. Thats MMA, Merchant Marine. ( A little slip of the keyboard)
personal site?
Will the site we had when we were applying to the academy ever change once we've finished the app and everything has turned gray, or will we get a new address once we've been accepted and received the information packets?
What about the packages that tell you about the other things you need to do for R-Day; such as imunizations, a background check, etc.. I think I remember someone somewhere saying that they would be coming out sometime in March. I was wondering if they were in the mail yet? I don't claim to be...
It is our understanding that a newly commision ensign can become a deck officer on a small cutter and a LTJG can have command of small cutter after their first tour. The CGA is also acquiring many assets by the time this class 2013 they will have received their 3rd NSC and posisibly a half...
facebook group
To those people who have recieved their appointments, make sure to join the facebook group that is mentioned in the letter you will recieve. It is extremyl helpful in many ways, from getting answers to some of your question to getting copies of some of the chats that were only...
Every academy candidate needs to decide the right place for them. There are many choices. The seafaring branches USNA, USCGA and USMMA each have different mission statements and career choices. My daughter went to AIM at CGA followed immediately by a week at USNA. USMMA after receiving her...
Only one day most cadets sail in Colagates and they make you wear a helmet. I talked to the coach, Mark Zagol, before AIM though and he let me sail a laser radial without a helmet. He's a really nice a guy and a phenomenal coach, he used to be Anna Tunnicliffes coach and he's still friends...
There are also alot of people who had medical issues and were only offfered conditional appointments until they cleared everything up and recieved a full appointment
appointment offers or appointment packages?
Objee,
By appointments do you mean offers of appointment for people who applied under regular admissions? Or do you mean the official appointment packages for people who have already accepted the appointment?
Thanks
i agree with Luigi
That is perfect for your essay. I sail a laser radial in south Florida and I wrote about teaching summer camp as my leadership experiance, which seemed to work for me. A little note that couldn't hurt. Do you have your U.S. sailing level one instructor certification? It's a...
AIM Essay and sailing
The others are right. You want to show them how much you want this whole experiance, not just AIM but CGA as a whole.
As for the military I have gone to art schools for seven years and I enjoyed my one week at AIM more then I enjoyed most of highschool.
As for...
I have copies
I copied and pasted most of the chats onto word documents, or just printed them out. I can send you a copy of one of the chats that you wanted if you have the right date. If you'd like to send me a message with your email and the date of the chat you want I can try and get it to...
