You're actual Certificate of Appointment will come from your ALO, later. The BFE is basically just the information packet that lets you know what is coming your way. My son received his Certificate of Appointment in a wonderful ceremony during the awards assembly at his school last year. It...

my son and a few other turned C1C Kirk's room into the Starship Enterprise!:thumb:

Would that have been in CS29?

The admissions office has confirmed that there will be no orientation for the class of 2015. They did say that you can request a visit for your cadet parents before May, if you want.

Thank you so much for the info! Sounds great!

I have no knowledge about a date for sending out additional appointments. My question to my DS's admissions counselor was, "Once my son accepts his offer of appointment, will he receive notification regarding the date for an orientation at the Academy?" She said, "they were thinking that...

adlades, does that mean that you think I was misinformed and they will have orientation in April? I'm new to this and trying to make plans.

When I called the admissions office in early January, I was told by an admissions rep that they may be canceling "Orientation" this year or at least that canceling is being discussed. Has anyone heard anything about that and could it be true? My DS is a recruited athlete and did the whole...

regarding the competitiveness for the class of 2015....our Senator's office told us that this was the most competitive class in Oklahoma in at least the last 10 years and they had a very difficult time choosing who to nominate. I have no idea how that translates to the rest of the country but...

My DS was LOA in Dec and recd his Offer of Appointment (BFE) on January 13th. He has already mailed it back accepting his appointment. Today, we recd a letter asking us to join the local Parent's Club. Very exciting!

we had about the same timeline as 1993A10 for my DS's Appointment for class of 2015.

I called my son's admission counselor yesterday and she said that the holidays have them a little slow at the AFA but that we should be looking for the BFE in the mail within the next 2 weeks. Hope that helps those who are waiting patiently! Good luck to you all and congratulations...

It sounds like you have quite a bit more figured out than you give yourself credit for, rangermom. I am very much like you in that we are not a military family. There is so much to learn and I feel very confused about the AFA. I know that there is a wonderful parent support group that I...

question Okay, newbie here! My DS has an LOA and 2 nominations to the USAFA for the class of 2015. His appointment status shows "Letter of Assurance" and his nominations are listed on his status page. When should we be looking for the status to change to "Offer of Appointment" and looking...

Pima......great advice! We sat our son down and had a very serious talk with him about this decision just like you said. It was the best thing that we could have done! He is a highly recruited athlete and has other options. I think the best thing that happened was that we did not talk to...

So exciting! Congrats to all of the appointees! My son received his LOA in November and now has a nomination from Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn and the Honorable Congressman Tom Cole to attend the USAFA. We are very excited for him but he is even more so. Does anyone have any advice for him or...

post removed...sorry
