    Anyone off the waitlist?

    I certainly don’t want to give anyone false hopes but it seems the last group of CGAS kids just finished finals at GMC and went home. At least a handful of those kids will not go on for sure. There may possibly be some movements soon. Good luck!

    RISE relevancy

    Is this by invitation only? Can you tell us how you got the invitation? If we want to attend but didn’t get an invitation, do you know who is in charge of the program?

    Anyone heard anything from your kiddos yet? Any letters? Nothing here, and we've written four letters already. No news is good news I guess...???

    CGAS swimming at GMC

    DD took lessons last summer and this summer in anticipation. We were really hoping she'd be a guppy by now, but she's still struggling to swim the full required length and treading for five minutes. She could definitely use continued frequent practice to build endurance but wasn't sure if she'd...

    CGAS swimming at GMC

    We heard that GMC doesn't have a swimming pool. If a CGAS student is not proficient enough in swimming at the time of reporting in, will he/she be given swimming lessons at GMC to prepare for SWAB year? We heard rumors that they go to a hotel swimming pool, but is that true? How often? Does...

    CGAS appointment

    We have the earliest reporting time slot also, and our early morning flight doesn't arrive until evening. We didn't feel safe doing that on Sunday either, so we decided to fly early Saturday, getting there Saturday night. We just got nervous because of an email we received saying our travel day...

    Oh yes, you're right. We didn't pay fot it either, so it wouldn't t be reimbursement. We're just wondering if the Saturday flight tentative reservation was ok as opposed to Sunday. So, is your DS flying on Sunday then?

    Did everyone get the recent email saying our travel day is July 16, not July 17? Do we necessarily have to fly on the 16th to get reimbursed? It doesn't mean we can't fly out a day or two early for the reimbursement, right? When is everyone getting to New London?

    CGAS appointment

    I have an answer for my own question, FYI. For us, they only had one contracted airline out of our airport. You might want to call first to see which airline is available at your airport before you can start checking schedule and airfare for the parents. We couldn't use any of the frequent...

    CGAS appointment

    Has anyone tried booking flights through ADTRAV yet? We were wondering if we had a choice of airline or limited to certain one so we can look through flight schedule before we made the call.

    CGAS appointment

    Wondering that too. For Genesis, we had to use Southwest only. Not sure for S day. We do have to go through military agency for our kids. Otherwise, we don't get reimbursed. Parents can book with them too or book on our own.

    CGAS appointment

    No email. We asked and were informed verbally. Nothing confirmed in writing yet, so we hope there are no changes. We did receive an email on background check though. Did anyone start? Finished? Right now, we just want the travel orders more than anything so that we could finally book our...

    Vision requirements for Coast Guard?

    DD was DoDMERB DQ'ed for 20/400 vision without corrective lens, 100% correctable to 20/20 with lenses, but she received a waiver pretty quickly, maybe within two weeks or so. It seemed fairly routine according to others.

    Wearing jewelry at the academy

    Oh perfect, thank you! I was looking for this but couldn't find it earlier. The earrings she received won't work according to this. At least we know now not to bother taking them.

    Ok, thank you! DD actually just received emeralds, but they are no go then, huh?

    Wearing jewelry at the academy

    Thank you for the information! So, can I assume that the the studs don't have to be pearls? As I wrote, pearls are all I saw, but DD is not crazy about pearls for everyday wear.

    Wearing jewelry at the academy

    If people want to give DD jewelry as high school graduation gift, are they allowed to wear them daily at CGA? It seems like the only earrings we've ever seen in pictures are simple pearl studs. Is it just a coincidence or is that the only kind of earrings they're allowed to wear? What about...
