No. The Academy allows MOCs the opportunity to call Appointees first (some do, some don't) then they mail the BFE. After the BFE is mailed your portal will change. It is not always on a Wednesday. DS's BFE was postmared 3/25/2011 (Friday) and arrived on 3/29/2012 (Tuesday) with the portal changing to "Appointment Offered" the following Thursday. I hope this helps.
Good luck!
We were relieved when we arrived home (no BFE) but also no TWE! But let me tell you we were nervous going through that whole pile of mail.
DS was awarded a AFROTC scholarship, still don't know what kind - no word/email/phone call/mail on that either. (This was his first board review, he missed the first two). Just knowing this is a huge relief and I feel less "stalkerish" now AND a lot less stressed out.
DS's MOC slot has already been filled by an athlete that was being courted for the last 16 months by USAFA (found this out in press release). So while we remain hopeful, we also remain realistic.
Whatever will we all do once all this "stalking" is over? Will we still be friends? Will we still talk? Will we be lost without each other? (Sorry, trying to add a little humor...)
Have a great day!
does anybody know if you can update your application? not that much has changed but I was wondering if I could let them know that I found out I was a state scholar and that I got my private pilots license yesterday
I'm not sure it will make a difference this late in the selection process but I thought it might be worth a shot.
Good luck trying out for the flying team.... there are only a couple members and the only way to get on the team is if they really like you.I'm unsure about the application (but I'm heavily guessing the answer is no, given that many appointments have already gone out), but congratulations on the PPL!
I got mine two years ago, and have my instrument checkride coming up.
Any intention of trying out for the flying team?
Wooo Hoooo!!! DS is, of course, still hoping to hear soon from the USAFA, but we are so blessed to have plan B ready to go.
An appointment requires only one nom. It doesn't really matter that much who it is from, or even how many you get. What is FAR AND AWAY more important is your DS's total package. In Texas it is much the same as you describe. Only one nom per person and the reps and senators all talk to each other to try to make sure of it. The reasoning is that more HS graduates are given a chance. On the portal you'll note that if you have a nom, that is checked. That's all that's needed, they don't give you more checks for more noms, there is only one.
