    NFCU

    Quick question. Would it be a wise idea to open a checking account on the application in the PTR? I only ask because my father suggested waiting for a few months before opening a checking account, while my mother thinks I should open one as soon as possible. I thought I'd come to the forum to...

    Glasses Prescription Expired

    I went to the eye doctor today to have the spectacle form in the PTR filled out with my prescription just to find out that it had expired. I'm up for another eye exam this coming Tuesday. Do I need to let anyone (USNA, DoD, etc.) know of this? If so, how should I proceed?

    Knee Pain Post-Appointment

    Wasn't sure where else to post this, but I'm in a little bit of a predicament. I've received appointments to USAFA and USNA and I already accepted USNA. I'm a Judoka, and the sport tends to involve a lot of pivoting and lifting, making it a bit hard on the knees. Since a few days ago, I've...

    Criminal Consent Form Hasn't Been Received

    Have any appointees had trouble submitting the Criminal Record Review Connect Form? I sent it in a few weeks ago to the email address listed on the form and my portal still says that USAFA hasn't yet received it. The deadline is quickly approaching (December 31), and I'd hate for something to go...

    LOA for USNA, Nomination for USAFA?

    Just received word that my Congressman nominated me for the United States Air Force Academy! While I'm extremely grateful and excited, USNA will always be my first choice. Is this a common occurrence in the nomination process? And is there any way I can go about seeing if I can get the...

    Last-Minute Interview Tips?

    I have an interview with my local congressman's panel tomorrow and I feel extremely nervous. I've been reading unsettling passages about candidates with LOAs that have been denied a nomination from all of their nominating sources, and I'm really nervous that I could end up in that group. Are...

    Denied a Nom Interview Before Receiving LOA

    I just found a letter in a pile of mail from Senator Tillis's office notifying me that I was denied an interview by the panel, but the letter is dated a week before I received an LOA from USNA. Would it be helpful to contact Senator Tillis's office and inform them of the LOA in hopes to...

    LOA Received This Morning

    I don't know how it happened, it did. Received my LOA to the Naval Academy as I was walking into first period Calculus! I thought I'd be the last person to receive one after meeting so many exceptional candidates from my area at NASS. God is good.

    Updating Offices on New ACT Scores

    As most know, the ACT scores from October's tests were released yesterday. I went from a 25 Math to a 28 Math, and a 31 English to a 33 English. Is it possible to update nominating sources of score improvements even after the deadline has passed?

    Driving applications to offices

    Would it be frowned upon if a candidate was to drive his applications to their respective offices rather than mail them? I know it may seem silly to some, but I'd prefer to physically hand my applications to someone so that I know that they were properly delivered.

    1 Month Since BGO Interview

    I completed my BGO Interview a month ago, which was the last part of my USNA packet. I've checked my portal periodically and noticed that while I've completed my interview, my portal still hasn't been updated. After sending a follow-up email to my BGO last week, I still haven't gotten a response...

    Presidential Nomination Eligibility

    I wanted to ask on the forum before I went and called admissions offices regarding my eligibility: If my father served 11 years active duty in the Navy and is now currently separated, would I qualify for the presidential nomination? My BGO said that I do, but I'm still a bit skeptical. If any...

    3-Day Blood Pressure Check Remedial

    Took my DoDMERB physical a week or two ago and felt really confident that I'd qualify with no issues. Turns out I was wrong. I got placed on remedial status for high blood pressure, an issue that I wasn't even aware that I had! Here I was thinking I got plenty of exercise lol. Has anyone else...

    Mistake Made on Medical History

    To sum up my issue, I was filling out the medical history survey on my phone and I accidentally and unknowingly checked "yes" for back pain. I tried to go back and correct the mistake but the system will not let me do so. Is there any way I can fix this mistake or let someone know that this is...

    Candidate Activities Record

    Not sure if I'm posting in the right place, so please let me know if I am. Firstly, I'm a candidate applying for the class of 2021. I'm having a bit of trouble with my high school counselor about my Candidate Activities Record. She claims to have filled it out, but my portal hasn't been...
