Hello, I am one of the Class of 2017 Representatives for the Minnesota USAFA Parents' Club. We have a couple of important events coming up and are trying to reach all of the 2019 Appointees from Minnesota. Due to privacy restrictions, we are having difficulty reaching all of the 2019 Minnesota...

MN USAFA Appointees - Orientation May 17th Hello, The MN USAFA Parent's Club is trying to spread the word on the new appointee orientation that will be held tomorrow, May 17th. We are having difficulty obtaining the contact information for the new appointees. My son found this orientation...

Congratulations! You are in for an amazing journey! I hope to see you at the MN Cadet Orientation in May, your parents at the MN USAFA Parent's Picnic in July and your family at the MN Parent's Weekend picnic at USAFA. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Enjoy the rest of your...

MNMOM94, I am so sorry you didn't receive an invitation! I understand that the academy has tightened up on privacy and so it was more difficult for our organizers to get a complete list of appointees. The MN Parents Club is wonderful. We meet one Saturday a month at the Fort Snelling Officers...

Wonderful - so glad you will be attending! Please seek me out - my name is Jill and I will be one of the greeters welcoming people to the banquet. My husband will not be at the banquet now - he got last minute game tickets to the MN Wild vs Avalanche game in Denver tomorrow night, so is flying...

Hello, I am also from MN and my son is a C4C at USAFA now. I think that it's good that you are questioning if USAFA is the right place for you and you are taking your commitment seriously. It was my son's dream to attend USAFA since 7th grade and he had no doubts about accepting his...

I believe it is 150 miles.

I second the advice about going for Acceptance Day if at all possible. We were able to see our cadet twice during that time. We happened to stop by USAFA on our way into Colorado Springs on Sunday morning. We didn't realize that the cadets were in chapel when we stopped, but had an amazing...

YES! My husband and I have been rooting for you LFry!!! I'm thrilled for you and all of the new appointees! CONGRATS! Jill

Thank you for this post. We are blessed that my DS received an appointment to USAFA, but were completely prepared for it to go either way. In fact when we heard that two USAFA appointments were given within our Congressional District, Plan B was looking very likely. The amount of time and...

118. JJawsFoss (DS), Nominated by MN-2 and Sen. Franken, March 25th We are in London, England on Spring Break and missed a phone call on Friday from Congressman Kline's office. We had to wait all weekend and they called again today to tell DS he received an appointment. We couldn't be any...

I thought I read somewhere (possibly from Insider) that TWEs weren't going to be mailed but rather will show in the portals this year. Does anyone else remember that post?

Can anyone provide additional insight into the implications of the final selection board meeting? The impression I had from my son's ALO was that the appointments that went out on the 18th were those charged to a MOC's slate. The nominees that weren't charged to a MOC's slate could fall into two...

Congrats rztl! Good for you! Now we hope to hear from Franken's office or it's the NWL for DS. He was awarded a 4 Year Type 2 AFROTC scholarship today, which we were not expecting as a non-tech major. So a solid Plan B is in place - a full ride at University of St. Thomas, including room and...

My DS received a 4 Year Type 2 Scholarship this morning! We are thrilled for him. He made a very difficult decision to decline the ROTC Commanders Leadership Scholarship at the U of MN to continue pursuing USAFA, especially since he is a non-tech major, so it was such a relief to get a...

35. JJawsFoss - (DS) - 4 Year Type 2 AFROTC, 3/14/13

Will do rtzl - please let us know if you hear anything as well. Good luck to you and hope to meet you in CO! Jill

Congrats to your DS, MO2! Which district are you in? We are still anxiously waiting to hear - DS has noms from Congressman Kline in District 2 and Senator Franken. It looks like the MN USAFA parents have a great parents group. Fingers crossed that my DS will be joining yours in June! All the...

Wow - this is so suspenseful! After preparing for 5 years, these last few weeks seem like they are taking forever. We are leaving on the 20th to spend our final spring break with DS in London and Paris. Looks like we will be burning through our international data plan checking the portal or...

Thanks for your post. My DS has been preparing for 5 years, so it's hard to believe we'll know his fate within the next month or two. We sure hope to see you in June. Best wishes to all who are waiting! Jill
