getting in and chances I agree with the above statements. I have one son in USAFA Class of 2014 and my younger son going to West Point Class of 2017. Both took the SATs and both had GPAs over 4.0. My USAFA son had to work hard to keep up academically and will graduate in the top third of his...

house divided My son had his appointment to USMA posted on his portal. We did not receive an envelope or call from our congressman. My other son is a C2C at USAFA ( class of 2014 ) and now my youngest son will be a freshman at USMA. John accepted May 2, congressional nomination from district 25...

ALO My son's ALO also said he recd a notification from usafa that NON SELECT letters would go out mid next week and to advise anyone not receiving one of those letters that they are still being considered for an appointment and that all appointments have NOT been given out yet from USAFA. So...

no more flyovers If the AF has to restrict flyovers and graduation festivities at USAFA then maybe they should also cancel golf trips on AF1. I believe the last estimate was 187,000 dollars per hour. I am a parent of a C2C and a hopeful class of 2017 Candidate waiting for a BFE. Living near...

No -- the webpage did change for my son also and we checked late last night and it had not changed yet. It looks like an area made for additional instructions to be posted but who knows!

congrats I agree. Hydrate, take care your buddy, knowledge, and there will be nothing like it so you will never forget it. My son is a C2C and he will help with the assault course and he cannot believe the short time it seems that he was in your place now. Very proud of yourself when those prop...

recognition I am a parent of a C2C. His birthday was actually in the middle of Recognition so he had some extra special treatment if you can read between the lines! HAHA! now but not then! I remember talking to his sponsor family and they picked him up late Saturday night along with as many...

BFE And to contrast what others have said about the BFE, my son class of 2014 received word via our congressman ( and he was not a principal ) on February 25 that he would get the nod. I have another son now pacing the floor so I have to remind him there is a window that the normal appointments...

cost My son is a C2C and the letter in the big envelope said equal to 425,000 dollars. It should be about the same among the USAFA, USNA and USMA. Coast Guard is less but still nothing to sneeze at!! My youngest son applied to USAFA, USMA and USCGA. He would be honored to attend any of them. He...

catalog It seems you get one of these if yuor file is in order and you have a nomination. I have a C2C there now and his little brother is applying and he just recd the same thing about a week after his nomination was posted. good luck!

closed portal My son's portal remains closed but USAFA opened ontime??

Squadrons and flights My son, C2C is a team leader for Aggressor's Flight A cadre. He is flying back on Monday to USAFA to get ready for the new class! Trust me, the cadre will be ready to introduce you the Beast! We did know what squadron he was in until he got on the bus and the AOG officials...

Basic Survival My son is class of 2014 and he will be a basic cadre this year. Hard to believe the time has passed so quickly since his I day! I just got a text message from him saying he is in Cadre Basic Review right now so YES the Cadre are as we speak getting ready for a new class as finals...

appointments I was at the USAFA Oath Ceremony this year for Class of 2014 because my son received his appointment. The Superintendent stated around 1282 appointments for Class of 2014. I believe that number is smaller now as some did not finish BCT and came home.

BBB Dana Besides being on the football team, Dana was also on the wrestling team at his HS in Naples, Fl. I would think this would give him further advantage. My son's HS had a kid 6' 7" that wrestled and beat Dana going to State of Florida competition and he ended up at Duke on a wrestling and...

Dana Won Dana won BB Cadet. Dana played football with and against my son in Collier County Florida growing up. Congratulations to Dana!!!!!!! I emailed his Mom and she is online looking at pictures. It is a long way from Naples Florida to the Academy. My son is also there but he is a Jaguar 39...

Ticket My son received his before orientation but the official word was that majority of tickets will be sent out the first week of June so anytime now for ones without tickets. My son flies out from Florida at 8:15 am on the 23rd.

NW Prep We met some NW Prep students on our orientation last month and they really enjoyed the school and it eased them into what will happen on June 24 at the Academy. A large group received Appointments this year and they stayed at the same hotel during orientation. They had no complaints.

Jaw dropper indeed We were there for the "sex" question and everyone around me were in shock, even the apppointees. The cadets on stage handled it as well as they could. My appointee along with the rest spent the night at the academy that evening and told me that the Sex question had traveled...

Application Yes, there is more to come. The second part of the application is based on official sources for your information. The first part is what you report to them. The summer phase of your application will include physicals, transcripts, SAT, complete junior transcript, recommendation...
