Hey guys! I learned of my appointment via the portal update on 20 March, and am ecstatic to be a part of such an elite group of young men and women! USAFA sent me a letter in the mail a few days later which announced my appointment. However, the letter came in a rather small envelope. It was larger than the standard envelope, but I surely wouldn't have called it a "BWE". I was curious if this has happened to anyone else, and if I should expect a legitimate BWE, or if this was the "BWE" everyone has been talking about. Thanks for the help!
 
Yes, everyone appointed received a thin parchment envelope (tpe? :smile:)
However, DD's ALO will be presenting the BFE at her school's award ceremony.

BFE as in the certificate

USAFA is not sending a "BFE" (big fat envelope) in the mail this year. In the past all of the forms that you need to fill out were sent in an envelope- however this year this is all being done through the portal. The letter you received is about the extent of what you will get in the mail.
 
Thanks for the clarification! I actually received an email from my ALO this morning that said he has my certificate
 
I think we're calling the BFP now.

Our DS received the appointment letter about 1.5 weeks after getting a call from our Congressman.
