FMHS-79 Thanks for your help. Couple things I learned. You can't get to Forms Mode on Turbo Tax if you are using the online version. You have to use the down loaded version. However there is a work around. This question was answered on the Turbo Tax Forums: Military academy attendance is an...

OK. Thanks for the info. I guess I’ll try another avenue for her taxes.

Quick question. Has anyone dealt with the nuts and bolts of how this works when you do your, or your cadet's/midshipmen's taxes. Is TurboTax smart enough to ask if your child is attending a service academy when you put the 1099Q info in? Thanks

This is anecdotal, but I think most cadets get USAA accounts. The USAA app has a feature where they can send money to other USAA account holders instantly. They use it a lot for food runs, club fees, shopping and what not.

First off, Congratulations! Second, most of the communication last year came through the portal. We received one letter with our DD's post office box information. That was it.

Done, thanks

Does anyone know what time they run out to Cathedral Rock? Thanks

Don't worry about the recruited athlete. I sit on our local congressman's board. Last year we interviewed eight candidates who were realistically qualified for USAFA. Four of them are at USAFA now. Only one will ultimately get charged to the congressman. Each Representative/Senator can...

One of the questions the ALO/BGO/MALO is going to ask is if the candidate wants to go to respective service academy or are they applying because the parents/teachers/dog/cat thinks they should go. That's one of the many reasons parents/teachers/dogs and cats are not allowed in the interviews.

^^^^^^ This The theatrics when they get off the bus is just an attention getting step.

Thanks Wildblueyonder! GoFalcons, there are swearing in pictures posted. It's under the BCT-1 hyperlink on the left hand side of the page. The actual swearing in photos start on page 13.

So who else has spent way too much time looking through Webguy's photos the last two days? I'm going to be at a loss once they lose their cowbells and I can't identify the squadron by color. :) On a somewhat related note, does anyone know what the colored dots on the name tags are for?

Thank you.

Any shots he doesn't have will be administered on I Day. Probably not the best day to get a bunch of immunizations. His arm will be sore and he won't feel well. We printed out the prescription for the polio vaccine and the TB test. They are on the portal. We have United Healthcare and all the...

After doing a little research on this forum it looks like incoming cadets are no longer "encouraged" to make a deposit to cover their initial expenses. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks

I gave my sponsor family a plaque and saber. It was the least I could do

Raptor22, good luck in your future endeavors. For those who are still pursuing an Appointment to a SA a point of clarification. The academies are not for superstars. Granted, there are a lot of cadets/midshipmen who are superstars. But there are also a lot of very ordinary people, and to be...

Yep, I have been happily married to DD's mom now for twenty two years. :)

The form we signed for my DD after she accepted her appointment only required one parent's signature. She also turns 18 after I day. This is from the portal asking for the document. You will also find attached a copy of the Acceptance Form you completed online (USAFA Form O-28). Since you...
