I applaud your desire to serve your Country, and I sincerely hope you are successful. My suggestion would be to look at the Mission of each of the different branches of service, and decide where you are led to serve - (what best fits your character and personality) then apply to that Academy or...

Bump to the top, hoping Objee will jump in here with answers, if possible. :smile:

Should that even be allowed ??

Objee, any official word on current Class of 2017 size, and how many lost by Company over Swab Summer?

His/Her name is "Objee", and is a wonderful source of factul current information.

I was reading past posts and had a few questions concerning Cadet's pay and expences. From the IRS Publication 970: If a Cadet now receives their full paycheck - while having to pay for books, uniforms, etc., will that show as total income for them for IRS tax purposes? Also, just...

That sort of leaves you hanging, doesn't it??

We are just trying right now to get the dates, to see if it's even possible to come up. I am trying to see if I can commit to another function, so I wanted to get the dates to see if they are the same. I won't get into the discussion on whether or not it is worth the drive, but I do tend to...

Does anyone know the dates of the Mystic Flag Ceremony for 2013? Trying to plan ahead to see if we would be able to make it.

If it happens like it did for EA1, on February 1st (for EA2 applications), you will get an email stating that your decision has been updated on your Bears Den account. You will need to log in to your Bears Den account, which will have a section where you will then go to your original Application...

Packet came yesterday!! Excitement at our house last night !! What a nice presentation of the Appointment letter - 1st Class all the way ... of course. Acceptance and all other info back in the mail today. I guess this would be the "official" start of the journey. Semper Paratus!!

Congratulations !! My DD has also been stalking the mailbox since she got "the" call Mid-December. The Class of 2017 facebook page was updated yesterday stating that the packets had gone out Priority mail. What state are you in? I hope DD's packet comes today or Thursday!! Good Luck, see you at...

Thanks Sailor2016. DD was EA1, and received the "call" on 12/14, and received the "official" appointment email on 12/22. She did send in her affirmative reply, and thought the packet would be forthcoming. I guess all good things are worth waiting for and this is a really good thing !!

My bad. I said Springfield Suites, but meant Springhill Suites. No luck there - they said all rooms with CGA rate were already taken. That was the second place I tried, after Mystic Hampton.

If you haven't made your hotel reservations for "R" Day weekend, you need to do it soon. I tried several yesterday and didn't have a lot of luck with the Coast Guard rate being honored for those dates (we are driving up on Friday and checking out Tuesday AM). Springfield Suites - no CGS rate...

I guess this question is primarily for Objee - do you know if the EA1 enrollment packets have been mailed yet? My DD received a full appointment, sent back in the enrollment form from the appointment letter of 12/21, but has yet to receive her packet. She wanted to see if they had been mailed as...

Goaltoserve, she was in EA1. She hit "submit" probably 2-3 days before deadline. Good luck.

DD got The call Friday afternoon! She received an appointment. I can't begin to tell you how proud we are of her. OK, so I knew I was proud of her appointment, but I found myself telling a complete stranger standing in line at Dunkin' for coffee Saturday am! Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Is it possible to receive a medical waiver for eyesight that is not correctable to 20/20? Would 20/25 be eligible for a waiver if everythingl else is within standards?

DoDMERB Physicals When will candidates normally be notified by for their physicals? My DD submitted for EA1. I also understand the past week the Academy has experienced!
