I believe that we should incorporate a Service Academy Summer Programs Discussion Board. The Summer Programs are brought up on a limited basis on the individual Academy boards and it seems you have to dig to find an answer you are looking for. Sometimes it is not even there at all. While I understand that the main purpose of the Academy discussion boards is to answer questions regarding the admissions process, but the Summer Programs serve as a great method of recruiting motivated applicants to the Academies. Admissions Officers and Alumni Representatives (ALOs, BGOs, AAPs, etc.) could answer specific questions on the application process and what the session entails. I feel as a Summer Programs applicant that other applicants could benefit from a dedicated forum based on the Summer Programs. There are probably quite a few juniors on the site and many will be applying to a single Summer Program or to multiple Summer Programs. If this is not a feasible option, sub-forums in each Academy's discussion board could be implemented. I look forward to everybody's thoughts on my idea.
