I would plan on flight after lunch. You could easily make COLO Springs airport early afternoon. Denver I would target mid to late afternoon. Plan on being there early very early and standing till mid morning. :shake: Then it will be very hard to break away. It is more the emotion versus...

Congratulations to all Falcons! Wonderful news! We met a free agent from NWP this weekend at our Parent Club send off. So many have such amazing resumes whether it is a Falcon or a free agent. Congrats all!

But if your oral surgeon recommends they be removed even if it will be sometime in near future, do it. It is sooooooo much easier at home then disrupting time at USAFA. Not only recovery but training and classes etc. My DS had his removed and it was the best thing for him and now nothing to...

It is definitely always a Wed and while I know from experience it can be difficult if you are trying to cut it close on travel arrangements, as parents teh best advice most of us can offer is patience and flexibility. These will serve you well as you enter into this journey! :) We too are...

Be prepared to not even see your cell phone for months depending on your squad. Color makes no difference. :shake:

All - Just to offer a few clarifications on USAFA Prep and Falcon Scholarships. My DS was a Falcon at NWP 2 years ago and is now a successful recognized 4degree at USAFA. At that time there were several highly qualified candidates who were offered Falcon Scholarships. ACT's above 30, SAT's in...

All if at all possible attend both I Day and A Day. My husband was not originally planning to attend A Day but at the last minute we booked the flight and our DS was sooooo happy to see his Dad. I Day was an amazing experience for all and even if your DS or DD thinks they want to do it alone you...

Blackbird - Congrats to your DS. Enjoy the spring and make sure he wears his Hawaiian Shirt! From NWP Falcon Mom! Karek

For Falcons last year we starting hearing beginning of FEB and I believe was dependent on your Nomination status. Best of Luck guys!

We were told two years ago by a USAFA admissions representative to divide by 25. My DS was also on a 100 pt scale. Best of Luck! Parent of Cadet Class 2015

Congrats to your DS! Way to go! Hope NWP was great and you guys are enjoying what will be a very fast Spring semester... Enjoy every minute. :shake:

Dear USAFA 2015 Parents, It's time to start the US Air Force Academy Class of 2015 Parent Spirit Missions! The purpose and goal of the Parent Spirit Missions is to have a fundraising committee to raise donations for the Class of 2015. The primary purpose of the fundraising will be to honor...

Kimberly - His being deemed non-competitive has nothing to do with if he is competitive in your district for congressional nominations. Focus on working with your ALO to understand why. It is such an extreme competitive year that the counselor may not be at liberty to share too much. You don't...

otterpop - Re-applicants are very much considered due to what you describe. There have been other threads on this topic as I recall last year this time and in the spring. ANd yes they wait to see first semester college transcripts to review so get that transcript in asap once available. Best of...

:thumb: Great job one step closer and almost there! Seems like yesterday that my DS was in your same situation! Keep focused!

USAFA: 16 What you are feeling appeared to be fairly common by Falcons last year as well. Even as a preppie or prepster, as there is apparently a distinction, life is significantly more difficult balancing academics, training etc. USAFA knows that and understands that this is a transition for...

Congrats on nomination but it is not over till it is over:shake:. Keep updating your file with the academy keep focused on making sure you are USAFA's pick as well. My DS had a friend who was a Principle to USNA and still did not receive an appt so unless you have an LOA, been cleared by...

Very similar to last years Falcon scores. While some fell a bit lower most were extremely competitive as you state. I have never seen specifics on Falcons only and their scores, only relaying my DS and his friends who attended Northwest Prep as Falcons last year. Most appear to be doing well...

Congrats! :thumb:
