Eh, that's ok, I was kinda expecting it, what with all the others who got TWEs.
And I was accepted to Princeton's Class of 2016, with a pretty hefty scholarship! I also have an AFROTC scholarship, but I am probably not going to use it, just for my own little act of spite towards the Air Force haha. "You don't want me? Then I don't want your cheap scholarship!"

Yes this is a post
If I were to join the USAF as enlisted, would I be able to attend the USAFA after 1, 2, or 3 years in the regular Air Force? Sorry that this message is not the clearest.

The LEAD program sends enlisted airmen to the Academy. They follow the same admissions process except instead of getting a nomination from a MOC, you get it from your commander.
Yes you would be able to attend the USAFA if you still fell between the age limits. In fact a certain number of appointments go to active duty Air Force members. However, I believe that you must be recommended by those in charge of you (you'll have to double check that). If you plan on doing this, you must make sure that you excel in the Air Force and demonstrate leadership to your superiors.
Thanks guys. I still need to get that Private Pilot license. Will I have time to continue my aviation education?
As of now, I'm just waiting for the appointment or TWE... :/ My plan B is to just go on to my second year of community college and reapply next year. If it doesn't work out then, I'll probably do AFROTC at a university when I transfer
Do you get a letter saying to wait further notice from PS? OR do you receive TWE and then hear back from PS? I'm a little confused on how the process works
Thank you for applying to the Class of 2016. We regret that we will not be able to offer you a place in the class entering the Air Force Academy this year. Your record received an in-depth review by a panel of experienced Air Force Academy faculty and staff. Unfortunately, we must turn away many outstanding individuals who would make excellent officers.

I hope so too!
I'm majoring in Mechanical Engineering.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't get appointed this year but I hope you get into the prep school! I would love for that to be my second option, unfortunately I think they only allow graduates from this year's class.
I got the TWE today
It is probably not my place to say anything, but I visit the forums everyday and check the threads that you post frequently in. I'm sorry that you didn't get an offer, but I really appreciate your attitude and your determination to succeed, even now. No matter where you go to school, I'm sure that you will succeed. I hope I get to see you next year. Good luck.
