Not.......yet........but........losing............positive..........control.......
Congratulations to all of you new appointees!!!!!!!!
I'm glad that so many of you outstanding young people are fulfilling your dreams!
For the rest of you in waiting, don't lose heart, the wave is coming. I spoke to our MOCs Academy rep this morning (I actually had to coordinate with him for something else city related), but I asked about appointments and he told me that they too were waiting. They have heard NOTHING (not a peep) since a single one of their noms was accepted to WP months ago. He stated they had a general time frame (about now) but they were also in the dark and his MOC had been asking about the appointments herself.
SOOOO, HANG IN THERE ALL!!!!!
Best Regards
sbrandt! congrats your from my district! I just got the call from senator cardin! Im freaking out! my dream of 12 years finally came through! Congrats to all the others and to those that havent heard stay strong!
Sorry about my post yesterday, the wait is killing me!! Haha good luck to all other nominees and congrats to those who already got appointments!!!
Based on the email that was forwarded to me today about DS's forthcoming appointment/BFE it indicated that the nominating source for which the appointment will be charged won't be determined until this class arrives at the Air Force Academy. Don't know if this is the case for all appointments or a portion of the appointments. Gut feeling tells me not to worry so much about the number of appointments coming from your CD, because you still might have a chance.
BTW, the email was confirmed tonight by a call from our MOC to DS's cell phone. MOC's office found out that DS was leaving in the morning for a trip to Europe and made the call tonight.
DW has been crying all afternoon and is not ready for this new adventure.
Best of luck to all still waiting to hear the good news!
Congratulations and blessings to all who have received the BIG news. Now enjoy every precious moment with your DS/DD and try not to count the days.
Raptor? Where in Tx? Us too. Our plan B is 28 hours away!!! I'm not handling this well at all.
Yikes! 28 hours is a LONG way to drive! I sure feel for ya! Where will his Plan B take him? (Congratulations on his AFROTC scholarship, btw. w00t! Did he decide on a major yet? DS got Type 7 for a Technical degree...or something to that effect.)
We live in Rockwall, just to the east of Dallas. Where are y'all at in Texas? We're blessed that Raptor's Plan B, Texas A&M, is only 3 1/2 hrs away. That being said, even though it's much further, we're ready to travel out to Colorado if that's how it works out!!
No worries--we'll get through this together. And, yes, I think we'll all stay friends after we stop the stalking!
My stress of this process will slowly be replaced by the anxiety of letting go. It's always something for us parents, isn't it?
Was hoping I could make it back to my town before OK's appointments would go out because it looked like they were going to sweep across the country since we had those numerous appointments come in from the east coast yesterday. Unfortunately this is not the case though with one OK appointment already out, my stress level just jumped...
