Thanks for the replies.

My dad and I just went to get my SS card laminated (his is laminated so he thought why not), but we have now learned it is not advisable to laminate the card (thanks for that heads up mom). Do you think this will cause any issues at I-Day?

No need for socks either? They'll be issued?

Does anyone know how many civilian clothes we should bring to I-Day? The appointee handbook says a "minimum" and the To Bring Checklist doesn't really mention it (outside of the boxers and v-neck shirts). Any thoughts?

I accepted appointment to USAFA and declined appointment to USMA

Meaning that the SA will continue to send letters of appointment to candidates that have already accepted appointment to another SA

I accepted an appointment to USAFA and then received appointment to USMA a couple of weeks later.

I was just wondering because the pattern on the appointment thread seems to be to post your nominating source as well. Either way I'm excited!

Falconsrock, how do I know which nomination source the Academy officially chose?

Just received my appointment. So sorry for missing that part of the Instructions to Candidates.
