    Presidents Volunteer Service Award

    Yes, I have. I was nominated through my school...it was a while ago though, so I'm not sure if the process has changed.

    USNA's sexual misconduct investigation of MAJ Mark Thompson

    I'm very familiar with the usafa case, but that is not my point and is certainly not representative of all SA cases, including those not publicized. The system is flawed, and I agree on that. Blackstone's formulation: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer"...

    USNA's sexual misconduct investigation of MAJ Mark Thompson

    "Lying accuser cadet suffers no consequences" "Lying accuser cadet suffers no consequences other than being your daughter/son that was raped but not believed and put through hours of interviews and degrading comments due to lack of evidence and reasonable doubt." Let me speak very carefully...

    Rotc and West Point

    I would accept scholarship, do any paperwork needed, put deposit on room/board and even go to the new students sign up for classes. Once your DD/DS finishes beast, you as parent or they can cancel and disenroll in August before the term starts. Don't inform AROTC until it's necessary. Hopefully...

    Ahh 10. Thanks. I created a new account as my old one had personal info, so I didn't realize.

    Taylor Swift

    I read a story recently about the one dollar shave club sending over 200 packages of shaving gear for free to troops deployed...it's nice to know some companies still care.

    Appendicitis?

    As a side note, usually with DODMERB, any surgery over 6 or 7 years is not considered unless major. I had an ankle surgery in elementary school..first time through dodmerb it was a remedial, this past round it was not even mentioned. It was uncomplicated though, no pins/plates, easy recovery...

    Contacting my ALO

    Unfortunately this is the busiest time of the year to try and contact an ALO, or admissions for that matter. Anywhere after April, and you'll probably get a faster response. In the mean time, prepping for your CFA, getting your research in to all 5 service academies, and the 3 ROTC programs...

    I made a new account on here, so i'm thinking there's a minimum # of postings before you can PM. I thought it was 5 though. I'm also a reapplicant, and had a few questions, but wanted to send in a PM.

    Distinguishing aspects of the AFA

    Just a thought, I'm not sure if you went to SS for either, but you could see if they do appointee visits. It is about the mission and the service in general, but it's also about a college choice too. If you don't feel like you could see yourself there, it will only get worse when you get there...

    Application portal

    From looking at last year's threads, it was discussed that some thought the version date correlated to the last date of a round of appointments. It kind of seems true, as the last update (and major appointment batch) was on 11 FEB, and 26 JAN. I guess we can see when the next round goes out if...

    USAFA Class of 2020 Appointment Thread

    I believe that was in reference to the admissions website. They state that the early admissions process is from November to the end of february, and the general admissions cycle from the end of February until early April (when the majority of appointments are released in March) anything after 1...

    What do these terms mean?

    Hi all, I have been confused lately on the USAFA admissions terms. Once your file is past the "selections panel", where does it go? I've heard terms like "committee panel" and "academy board", are those synonymous? The Selections Panel gives you the rating/ composite score correct? What...

    Letters of Admission

    I don't know if this helps you, but in looking at last years appointment threat for 2019, it seems most of the appointments from this thread went out the second week of March.
