It will probably be a phone interview.

You can either telephone interview or arrange an interview while you are at home over the Thanksgiving or Winter Breaks.

The only reason I've decided not to send them is because I don't know what my mailing address at the P will be. This is the same reason why I have yet to contact my Rep, because they only mail out a package once you actually call them. If I supply one address and only one address (at the P), it will mitigate the risk of missing valuable correspondence. That's just my thought process behind the nomination issue. I've already considered my options and chose to proceed accordingly.

That's an awesome head start. IF you have everything but a mailing address, it will be incredibly easy for you once you get here.

I asked her if I could possibly send some info now, because I'm not sure how I will get my hands on it will I'm in Colorado. She said that with almost 5 months till the deadline my stuff would surely get lost if I sent it in piece mail (my MOC's office is being moved due to redistricting so that may have something to do with it.) I guess, at this point, I'll just update my letter and my resume to the best of my ability and keep all of my existing info as organized as possible so my parents can send it to me later. Does anybody have a better suggestion?

I would bring the hard copies of the required info to the Prep School with me.

Hello,

Was wondering for the prior enlisted cadet candidates if applying for an account for the US Bank is necessary, since most of us already have an account set up with the DFAS system with either USAA or whatever bank chosen while in-processing at Lackland.

and also, the checklist has khaki pants, brown belt, and brown shoes; does anyone know the purpose of these items at the prep school?


Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your time.

Your current checking with Direct Deposit will work fine. The new checking account is for direct Entries.

The pants, belt, and shoes are for a uniform that is called "Husky Gear" you will wear theses items with a Navy Blue Polo Shirt that says "AF Prep" on it and have a Coat that also says "AF Prep". You will wear this uniform to events that would require "Business Casual Attire".

I know this sounds bad, but I can't find details on what time we need to report on 11 July. I'm guessing they'd like us to show up sometime in the morning. It'd be nice to have a time frame, though.

I'll probably end up giving them a call tomorrow.

Contact Mr Mark Winter @ 719-333-2583 and ask him for the Bed and Breakfast Program.

It may be too late, if you have not already done this, but it is worth a try if you have not made arrangements for lodging the evening of the 10th,
