    Question about the medical & physical exams

    She should contact her academy ALO, they can do the test if there is no PE available.

    AFROTC scholarship/ USAA

    DS will be the first military member in the family since my dad, and he didn't have an account with USAA. Thanks for the info, sounds like he's in limbo with the account until he starts school.

    AFROTC scholarship/ USAA

    Good afternoon, DS will be attending UND on a Type 7 AFROTC scholarship. I was trying to be proactive in having him open a USAA checking account so he can deposit (a) any graduation money he gets and (b) his monthly stipend when it starts. However, USAA needs some form of military...

    No TWE or AFA/Prep appointment?

    DS is also still waiting. However, he has accepted and is going forward with his plan B (admissions fee, housing app, etc). The only thing he hasn't done is sign up for the orientation at plan B. Hopefully, this is money down the drain, but if not he won't be too late and have to sleep on a...

    Failing a class?

    I can't stress the importance of this statement. Don't wait any longer. DS had a horrible time in AP Calc because he didn't quite get the principles taught in pre-calc. Going to the academy, your Calc class will be 10x harder than the AP classes taught in high school. The good news is, once...

    TWEs will be sent this week

    Does getting a TWE always mean you're totally out of consideration for the late appointments? Just wondering if the door is completely closed for that year, or just slightly ajar :)

    March 31st Last Day for USAFA appointments?

    I truly believe this is just an internal IT thing within the AFA servers. I know as parents, we are just as anxious to hear word as the applicants are. Sometimes, more so, because we want the USAFA to recognize all the hard work our son or daughter has done to get to this point. But, as DS...

    March 31st Last Day for USAFA appointments?

    I would take a break from checking the portal so often. I am pretty sure it only updates once per day at @3am with an email to announce a change. DS is still waiting to hear also, but headed out of town this weekend to keep his mind off things.

    Wisdom Teeth

    This is a very timely topic considering DS has an appointment for wisdom teeth surgery tomorrow. He's currently waiting to see if he's been appointed and I didn't even consider that DODMERB would have to be notified.

    DS got a full 12 page calendar in December. I'm taking it as a good sign. ;)
