Congratulations!

Congratulations! My son also attended NWP on a Falcon Foundation scholarship. His NWP classmates are some of his closest friends, at USAFA and attending the other academies. The Durbecks run a great program. I believe my son called and told Mrs. Durbeck he had received a scholarship and...

Like many other parents, we bought our son a printer and re-stocked his toiletries, etc during Parent's Weekend. My son did not want to go shopping, or enter a store for any reason on PW. Write2them and Web Guy are wonderful...worth every penny. We sent encouraging, light, happy mail every...

Have they announced Falcon Foundation scholarships yet? They are also a great opportunity! Many Cadets get their appointments on the second try, after a year of college. There are advantages to entering the Academy after a year of college. If USAFA is his dream school, don't give up!

I think it is a good idea to accept the admission to Plan B. My son put a deposit on the Plan B school even with an appointment in hand. There are young men and women every year who do not arrive on I-Day or leave the Academy before September classes start. Some of them scramble to find a...

We did not go to Acceptance Day, and very much regretted that decision. If it is within your travel budget, I encourage you to go. A good friend invited our Cadet to join their family and their Cadet for lunch on Acceptance Day. My son had a nice time, but I spent the whole day wishing I was...

I like all of the spirit videos. What surprises me is...all the effort that goes into making these, and presenting them as 'official' representations of the school...and no-one checks the spelling?

My son mentioned that he receives the mail from write2them regularly, but that the letters sent 'snail mail' are delayed. Yesterday he received a letter mailed before I-Day.

I believe they are instructed to wear their uniforms while in public for PW. I am curious if this requirement extends to recreational activities during the weekend, i.e. horseback riding, hanging at the hotel pool, rafting, etc.

My DS also attended NWP with a Falcon Foundation scholarship last fall. He will tell you it was a great decision. He was set to attend one of the best schools in the country for aero/astro, and would have loved the traditional college experience. However, the AFA has always been his dream school...

SDK, I have enjoyed reading your posts the past year. I especially enjoy the anecdotes my son shares from your days at NWP. You are an intelligent and determined scholar, an extremely talented athlete, and you have a great sense of humor. I am confident you will excel at USMMA. Good luck to you...
