Questions, Chatter, Congrats for the 2026 USAFA Appointment Thread

hey @Wristdoc If you don't mind me asking. I was just wondering what district in Kansas you are from. Thanks!
@chrisb1113

Sorry for the late reply...I just saw your question tonight.

4th Congressional District. My DS received calls from both our Senator and Congressman so we are not sure to whom his appointment will be charged...not that it matters at this point. Best of luck to you and your DS!
 
My DS got his USMA notification from his MOC. He only had a Pres nom for that SA, so we were surprised by the call. The MOC will take credit for all the appointees in his district. Just like the email we receive from our TX Senator inviting him to a statewide congratulations breakfast even though he never receive a SEN nom of any type.
When did you get them email from the TX Sen? DS got a Sen nom plus appts to USMA and USAFA but hasn't recevied an invite.
 
FWIW - the academy is definitely charging appointments to nomination sources they manage at this point. That's probably not surprising, and the academy may use those nom sources occasionally early in the process; but my son isn't an athlete and didn't have an LOA. So, I assume that they are working down the NWL at this point. My son's Rep slate was won long ago by the principle nom, who accepted. My son had no other noms, because our Rep and Senators coordinate. So, he was sitting on the NWL early on.

Good luck, everyone! Still spots to be filled.
So glad and thankful our sons both got into Challenge, and now into USAFA together once again! CONGRATS!!
 
Similar.... Appointments USNA, USCGA, USMMA, USMA and no email from Tx Senator since notifications of nominations in December.
My DS got the same breakfast invite even though he did not get his nominations (USMA & USAFA) from Senator Cornyn. Nominations came from MOC Van Taylor.
 
DS in KS just got call from MOC spokesperson today with USAFA appointment! MOC spokesperson said that his appointment will show up in his USAFA portal by Monday, 4/11. We have been reading this forum for a while; thank you for all the information and best of luck to everyone still waiting!
Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking, what congressional district are you in? Still holding on to hope for my DS in KS.
 
DD just received phone call from our GA-10 Rep this morning notifying her of an appointment to USAFA.
Having been a lurker for the past few months, just wanted to say to those awaiting notification to stay strong and hang in there.
 
DS received the phone call from our MOC this morning notifying him of his appointment! We are in TX. DS is thankful and humbled. He was told a portal update this coming Monday. Good luck to everyone. I have read so many of your posts and I am pulling for everyone on this 2026 thread!
 
Tomorrow could be the big day for many of us! Good luck to those of us still waiting for a response :) Wishing y'all a good night of sleep and rest, and if you're religious, just know that God has a plan for us and everything's already mapped out.

My expectations are grounded but we shall see. Beautiful words. Good luck to al!
