Hi, Seeking any suggestions and/or advice regarding a graduation trip for my DS before he reports to USNA for IDay on July 1st. HS Graduation is June 8. He's ready to leave for somewhere the next day. I am thinking a week at the most. Did anyone do this?

My son is being actively being recruited by both the USAFA and USNA for water polo. Both academies flew him out for an official visit. He has a LOA for the Navy. And was blue chipped for Air Force. He's received nominations to both. I just wish he'd receive the official letter of...

Does anyone have the IDay, ADay and PW dates for Class of 2018? I see that PW is around Labor Day weekend. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks.

So do you all know the date for PPW? Sorry - I couldn't figure it out from above. Thanks!

@dusty Sorry - I don't understand your what you are saying?

Thank you Blackbird! Interesting to know about the USAFA. He had planned on submitting early action but with his school activities, college visits and government shut down there was no possible way for him to complete his CFA in time. Coach told him just to complete asap and wouldn't hurt...
