My DS is a C2C (almost a firstee) but we have very good friends whose son received a letter last month saying he wasn't accepted to USAFA this year or the prep school and to feel free to apply next year. He accepted a 4 year ROTC scholarship at the state university and was moving along with his...

My ds is going to be a C2C after graduation (I think the time went by fast, he thinks it went by slow) and will be allowed to have a car.

Hello. One of the 2013 cadets brought their passport as proof of citizenship and it was taken from the cadet and has gone missing. So I was wondering if it would be ok to send the selective service (draft card) instead as proof of citizenship with the appointee? Just curious what everyone...

When my daughter went off to college, I told my auto insurer and we got a discount since she was away at school most of the year and didn't have a car with her. I called my insurer about my son (who is starting the AFA in June) and they said they could either: 1) do the discount like they did...

I am a mom of an AFA appointee for class of 2014 and I called Mr. Richardson about boot information since my son can't make it to orientation. He was really helpful and emailed me the following letter. He also said I was welcome to post the information to the forum for other parent's to use...
