My cadet personally knows a few who did not get pilot and were devastated.

I’m not sure about the ranking category numbers you have listed, but I can confirm that my cadet has told us for several years that’s how they do it in order to have the brightest in every field. I’m sure it’s not in stone for everyone. Mine is a 2024 grad.

My cadet did not have specific details like the above ranking lists, but has told me for several years that USAFA in fact does spread the rankings out to all career choices so that they will have the smartest achievers in every job category.

Mine and his friends have never flown. He said it didn’t matter. Mine had just done gliders for summer training.

My cadet got pilot yesterday, and there were quite a few in his squad as well- maybe 20-25 percent or so. I wasn't keeping track, just nervous waiting for his name to be called up. Not all his friends got their first choices, with a few getting a third choice. It's not a great day for...

Contact your admissions counselor at USAFA immediately. I know of candidates who got extensions. Just try.

To have a broken in pair upon arrival and to insure that at least 1 pair fits. That’s what we were told.

The March 26 edition of WaveTops from USNA disputes that.

Why are people with direct appointment on this waiting list?

Does anyone have any insight as to why the fly fishing club was taken off the list as a USAFA club? Could it be started back up?

t This has nothing to do with parent’s weekend questions, and I wish you would remove this. I am trying to learn about USAFA, not be controversial.

Hello Air Force friends! I am a current mom of a firstie (Sr.) at USNA and will be the proud mom of a class of 2024 USAFA son. My problem is, I know absolutely nothing about USAFA. I know that at Navy, they had a plebe parent weekend at the end of the 6 week plebe summer. I looked at the USAFA...

Sorry this is so late, but I just saw this. My DS had tubes as an infant and had his burst at age 13 from fluid. He reported it on DodMerb and has an appointment for 2024.

This is a surprise to me because USNA Mids have their own showers and sinks and only share the toilets. I wonder why the difference?

One of the essays is about any hardships, so I would say they consider that. I’m just guessing.

Oh, thank you. It’s been a long time since my other son did Dodmerb and that was for Navy, so I know there are differences in rules. Thanks again.

I’m so confused I posted twice

So can someone help me understand this about Dodmerb? Does it have to be complete for USAFA by the date the application is due (Nov 1?) for DS2? I am seeing different things in different places. Thanks in advance.

Oh, trust me, I know. I have a firstie Midshipman who was a second year applicant. ;)
