Waiver My son received a letter and a phone call from the CGA telling him he had a conditional acceptance and that they were working on the waiver. He received a second letter from the CGA (on the same day) stating that the CGA was processing his waiver request and that it could take 12 weeks...

We received a letter yesterday stating that my son had received a conditional appointment to the CGA pending receipt of a medical waiver. My son is thrilled, but nervous that the waiver may not be be granted or that a decision won't be made by June 1. He's working diligently to gather doctor's...

My son just got his paperwork in the mail and he's in Echo company. :smile:

My son received his packet today in the mail. We're in Texas, so I bet everyone who hasn't gotten the packet will get it soon.

Thanks to everyone for all the wonderful advice concerning the passport. I feel much better now.

I wish I could, but I'd get fired from my job and run out of money before then!

Thanks. I'm glad to know it wasn't my computer. I couldn't get onto any USCGA web site for AIM paperwork or for my other son concerning R day.

AIM Acceptance All, Sorry for the delay in responding, but my son did get his acceptance letter for the AIM program in the mail today. He got his first choice (first week), so we'll stay in the Connecticut area after reporting in day for my other son and then drop off Eric for AIM on July...

Question about Passport I have a quick question about my son's passport. He has a current passport that is good through 2012, but not 2014 like the CGA information states. When he got his a couple of years ago they were only issues for 5 years since he was a minor. My question is "will this...

My son received his AIM acceptance letter today My son, Eric, was thrilled because he learned he was accepted to the first session of AIM, July 4-10. He was hoping this would work out because we're going to be at the CGA on June 28 when his brother, Joshua, "reports in" for the class of 2014...

AIM Acceptance Letters I just posted something on this matter on another thread, but my son heard today that the AIM letters will go out the third week of May. They were swamped with applications and are still going through all of them. They said the earliest he would hear would be at the end...

AIM Acceptance Letters My son just heard that teh letters will go out the third week of May for AIM. Apparently they have lots of applications to go through. They said he might receive a letter at the end of next week, but it will probably be the following week before he finds out anything...

Thanks for the tips. My son already has some backpacks and military duffle bags from CAP, so I think he's set. He's used to rolling everything up in zip log bags and compacting it all in small spaces for long backpack trips where he's living out of his pack for weeks at a time. I just wish we...

Thanks again. I guess I'm thinking like a Mom and want to make sure he has everything he needs. My son is used to packing light and getting by on bare essentials, so he probably already knows this stuff and isn't planning on taking much at all. I was just thinking about the time I moved into...

I don't know for sure, but if the NROTC scholarship works like the AFROTC scholarship, you can not switch colleges after picking one and starting there. My son received an AFROTC scholarship and was told to pick his college carefully, because he could not decide to transfer to another college...

Thanks for all the helpful information This forum is wonderful. I wish we had found it earlier in this whole crazy process. It sounds like several CGA appointees are from Texas. That's wonderful. Does anyone know how many new cadets will be in the Class of 2014 (an approximate number)...
