Flutter kicks with boots on!

Falcon Foundation - NWP Can't say enough good things about NWP. The Durbecks are wonderful, thier program is successful and proven. Statistics for "free agents" have changed over the past two years with the admission cuts, its much harder for everyone. Agreed, a FF offer is the GOLDEN...

Falcon Appointments As you said, the Falcon appoinment is theirs to loose. You have a conditional appoinment already, therefore they do not feel the need to notify you of that again. I know that we did not really believe it until we had that letter in our hands, but you need to trust the...

This must depend on the ALO, we never heard anything from ours last year. All we got was the BFE in the mail.

Nike boots BCT Be forwarned on the above mentioned Nike boots, you may not be able to wear them until after recognition (March). Its dependant on each squad. My son just used the boots as issued and got along fine. A better solution may have been inserts for the boots (like orthotics). They...

We were told that any treatment or diagnosis of asthma after age 12 was a disqualifier. DS was given a pre & post spirometry test (at their expense) and passed . He is a Doolie this year.

DS did all his MOC interviews by phone from NWP this year.

There must be something in the air today. My DS appointee came home and asked if I thought it would be ok if he went bull riding this weekend (he's never tried it before). There is not enough bubble wrap around to get us through to June 23rd, God grant me patience!

They usually post this in July on the admissions website, along with avg GPA, ACT, etc.

Even though they are essentially paying for those expenses through a deduction from their pay? I wondered if that made any difference.

I would be sure your doctor is talking about Polio and not pertussis. There is a Tdap vaccine that includes tetanus and pertussis (similar to DPT's for infants, but a booster age 12 and up) I am not familiar with a tetanus/polio combo vaccine. Your local Health Dept may also offer vaccines...

I know it sounds too good to be true, but beleive it!! The only Falcon candidates I have heard of in the last two years that did not get an appointment were those that receved a D or F in one of their prep school classes (there was one last year, haven't heard of any yet this year). Its worth...

Here is a link with some of the scheduled events. We are from FC too and DS will be a c4c class of 2015. Make your reservations for Colorado Springs early! Won't it be nice to have him close even if its only for a semester? [url]http://www.usafa.edu/superintendent/parentsweekend

7 pm on Monday here is a link to the schedule http://www.usafa.edu/superintendent/parentsweekend/pwSchedule.cfm?catname=Parents' Weekend

2nd BFE Thanks for the FYI, DS mailed his acceptance March 1st and we've heard nothing. Keep reading about immunizations and such and wondering when they will let us have the rest of the info (sure doesn't make sense, its not like they shouldn't have the same info ready to mail to everybody!)...

No!! I feel like the Mail Stalkers Club again. Mailed appointment acceptance 4/1. I figured they were busy with the last batch of BFE's #1 and QNV letters, but would love to have some more information soon.

NW Prep My DS went there on a Falcon Foundation Scholarship this fall. It is an amazing program and we cannot say enough good things about it!! One semester then he came home and attended the local community college for 2nd semester while waiting for his appoinment. We feel he is much more...

Thank you for finding that information! I knew I read it somewhere last year but had been unable to find it now.

NWP I can't say enough good things about NWP. My son went there last fall on a Falcon Scholarship. He is so much better prepared to enter USAFA in June, my husband and I think its the best thing that could have happened to him to have to wait that extra year. The Durbecks are wonderful and...
