It is extremely important that all appointees to the class of 2018 fully complete their appointee kits by the June 15th deadline. It is true that not all forms are available yet (but most are, and all the ones that will take any significant time to complete are all available now).
Do not delay completing the immunization form. Virtually 100% of appointees will need additional immunizations and you can't complete the form until you have them. While I'm sure most already have received the Polio vaccine and had a TB test years ago, the DOD requires that you have both of these after January 1st of the year you enter the Academy. That means that most of you will need these two (at a minimum). You also must have at least the first shot in the HepA and HepB series, as well as several other common vaccines. Flu and HPV are optional (but recommended).
Another form that takes quite some time to complete is the security questionnaire. It is a 127-page fillable PDF. Don't wait until the last minute (get it done ASAP).
There are others that require some time and thought, so we *strongly* advise that you work through every available form and do them promptly. USAFA is serious about revoking travel orders and rescinding appointments for those that don't complete their appointee kits.
If you have specific questions then call your counselor. I will also be frequenting this forum to answer questions here.
