    I could be wrong, but I'd check with your ALO and the Congressional and senators' offices in your district. I say this because I Know of several preppies from last year, my kid was one of them, who had multiple nominations, but who only applied to USAFA. My daughter had 3 nominations...

    Wow, AFA Losing Cadets!

    So true! My daughter wouldn't tell me things that bothered her even when she was in grade school. The last thing she wants is for me to get in her way. She hasn't done so yet, but I imagine she will call upset a few times to come. But like always, she's clear that she doesn't want my advice...

    Wow, AFA Losing Cadets!

    haleym, back up. You aren't dealing with a 4/c and so you do not get to tell me what is appropriate. Your defensiveness is telling. Calm down and go over and investigate if you don't like what you read. I did not use any terms such as "all or always" for you to read that I think ALL are doing...

    Wow, AFA Losing Cadets!

    I am not sure of what afmom2 is referring, but don't be so quick to attack and silence what she posted. On my end, there is a lot of talk and disgust over in squads because of tonight and Squad 22 training from 8pm until 10:30pm with orders to shower afterward and to put on their blues until...

    Questions about re-application to the academies/nominations

    My daughter earned 2 nominations when she applied to the class of 2018. She was lucky to receive a USAFA prep school appointment. When she applied to the class of 2019, she ended up with 3 nominations--one from the same congressperson as last year. My take is that you won't want to use the...
