278 is plenty good, work on the other stuff now! :thumb:

I got DQ'd for an illness I never even had in the first place. Navy and Air Force denied my waiver request, Coast Guard said yes. DODMERB works in weird ways, but I'm happy it ended up putting me at CGA :thumb:

Everything Grevar said is true. If it's what you really want to do, there are many ways to get to Officer rank in the Coast Guard whether by Academy, CSPI, or OCS. Best of luck on your journey! I didn't even know CGA existed until my junior year of high school, and I haven't looked back. Do the...

As a player on the team, we can proudly say that we are very pleased with our season and all the support from alumni and onlookers. We got to the Quarterfinals down at Nationals before being bested by the 1 seed, but overall, it was the best season that the program has ever had. Next year will...

According to our Cadre Schedule, Mystic Flag Day is Saturday, July 27. Once your DS/DD gets their assigned company, you'll know if they'll be on Eagle then or not. Alfa-Delta Companies will be on Eagle, Echo-Hotel companies will not. Hope that helps!

Great moment at lunch today...the last of the 4/c passed their boards Sunday night, and the entire class was granted full carry-on today! It was a pleasure working with them as their 3/c, certainly helped us learn our roles as mentors. Next up for us 3/c: Finals, 100th Week, then Cadre...

Definitely look at improving your grades in math and science. They are harping on that a lot now. Other classes look pretty solid, do well in them and you'll have a solid application for AIM. As for AP Chem/Physics: you'll take Chem your 4/c year, Physics your 3/c year, so you'll see both...

Definitely do it! I did an August Campus Visit/Admissions Brief, and not only did it look good for admissions, it was great to actually see the campus and learn more about the Cadet Life. If your son gets accepted, I highly suggest the Academy Experience Program as well (or Beansprout Program as...

We did :thumb: Honestly one of the best experiences of my life. There were times we (Delta Company) just kept failing and failing, but the main thing we learned was teamwork. Hands down, that is the most important lesson of Swab Summer. To be able to depend on your shipmates for everything...

That's a good countdown to keep! Thanks again for everything! :cool:

I don't think we'll be having that good of a time like they seem to be having in the picture XD

Thanks Everyone! :D

Where do winter sports count for semesters?

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me on my way to getting prepared for CGA this year on this forum! Even though I joined late, everyone was very welcoming and I feel much better prepared for the Academy because of the advice given here. I am VERY excited to start my journey as...

Alright, thanks! Looks like I need to find another sport to play. :D

Do intercompany sports count for sports credits? I have Lax in the spring,but aside from that I don't technically have another sport I am playing for the school, and I heard from my AEP Cadet that you need 2 seasons of sports at the academy.

Keeps gettin closer and closer... O.o

Only 20 days, its gonna be a blast!

Thank you! I'm really excited for the Eagle, it'll be a great conclusion (or break!) to a rigorous Swab Summer! :smile: And thanks for the information about the Eagle, Luigi59!

I guess us 2015 Swabs get the final 3 port calls! :D
