My DS didn't receive an appointment this year and plans on re-applying to the CGA next year. He is joining the Aux, hoping to be involved in the coast guard while he awaits the next (tortuous lol) application. My advice to him was regardless, if that's what you love, it won't be a waste of...

So sorry to hear of the rejections. So happy for the one's with the appointments. My DS received a rejection this morning. Much to the same situation for my DS as @mascara_mom DS had experienced. Skipped many parties and nights out, being careful to keep his nose clean and filling his time...

Great info! Thank you so much! We'll check back in around dinner time and go about our day otherwise... Thank you thank you for sharing!

Whoa - so helpful. So, no solid way of knowing (as everyone keeps saying, but I keep waking up thinking, "today we'll crack the code!" haha. My DS is a swimmer - he dreams of swimming for Coach Westkott. Here's to hoping they can be team mates one day!

What are everyone's thoughts on whether it matters what day your application was fully submitted? @F15DOC It looks as though your DS was submitted 3/31. If our DS was submitted 12/2 and has heard nothing, do we dare to assume that this is a bad sign - or do you all think the process has...

Doc, you've been so helpful with your transparency. I think some of the frustration is with the unknown and the quiet waiting. You've added concrete knowledge, humor, and great conversation to this group. Thank you so much for it all. Just seeing Wesley's letter gave me some calmness -...

Wooohooo!!! Congrats to you all! Still nothing here for us. My DS's little brother is upset because it looks like Operation April Fools Day may have to be put aside this year. It's his FAVORITE day, but I'm not sure if it'll be the best day ever or the worst day ever... Please post if...

Ugh. Nothing here either. I hope you received great news MaggieMae!!! Time feels as though it's going backwards.

The two stories that you've posted are amazing. These are the women who paved the way. I love her portrait with the pants under her dress! Thank you!!!

Good luck to you too!!!:)

Thank you so much MaggieMae! We're having high hopes of finding out prior to Friday as well. Just interacting with you all on this forum is a form of relief. Thank you so much!!!

Grevar, Objee or anyone else who has information - if we hear the worst on Friday - what course schedule should I secure with the local college? We have to secure our spot prior to Friday, and we haven't heard anything from CGA. We're assuming the final will just all come on Friday or...

My DS was dreaming of an appointment for Easter. Still waiting... If it wasn't updated overnight, I'm imagining no one is working on Easter Sunday? :scratch:

I hope so. It doesn't make sense at all but I can't help but think what if... Ugh

Okay now I'm worried and confused. So if we didn't receive an appointment today then we're out?
