You’re welcome! Once you receive the appointment in your portal, as said, you are good to go! Keep us posted. Good luck :-)

As mentioned above, we put a deposit down and started a portal for DS for Norwich University while he awaited USAFA decision. We also called Norwich and I even called financial aid to go over the situation. His acceptance was actually kept in place until AFTER USAFA basic training and I called...

My DS is a current Doolie for Class of 2026 and he received his appointment Jan 11. He finished everything including receiving nomination by around Dec 10 or so.

Congrats on your progress so far! You might be looking for dates and such so here is what I can share about my DS who is a Doolie Class of 2026: November 2021: LOA/LOI received (didn’t tell us exact date!) December: interviewed with Congressman and notified of nomination 12/10 or so Jan 11: DS...

Thank you so much! You are right on the mark, he surely is thriving! He got through BCT in one piece (he was a three season runner and that helped him tremendously). He has joined Honor Guard and those people have become more than family. They eat dinner together every night and they socialize...

Congratulations! My DS received an LOA/LOI last year around the beginning of December. His appointment came January 11 :-) things are rolling along for you. Good luck!

I would have to agree with this! My DS is also an Doolie and his saving grace is his extracurricular group. They have dinner every day together and they socialize on Friday evenings. They are definitely his lifeline! To the OP: Are you in any groups? Also, the Sponsor family or going with...

I would definitely echo the statement. My DS participated in our local CAP for 2+ years before becoming a USAFA cadet for the class of 2026. He achieved his Mitchell award and was very happy with his progress and also made amazing friends. He attended CAP Encampment and said it did really...

Oh great I see thank you. I’m looking at the instructions in the appointee booklet about the mailing address. It says to put your squadron number after their name in order to make it more accurate. As of right now we don’t know the squadron number correct? Are you saying he will get that on...

YAY -finally here! My DS is in Aggressors: report time 0725-0745..not an athlete or w/ a waiver. Yes, get that day started!!

Hello! Also waiting for squadron assignment + mailbox. Question: will the mailbox address the my DS gets be valid for BCT + beyond and for how long? I want to give it out to family + friends for them to be able to send letters during BCT and then mail + packages during the year but dont want to...

Just to check: it says “Hand Carry these items outside of luggage” and we assume that means paperwork and ID’s etc in something like a Manila envelope? And the rest in the luggage/backpack? And then it says “a customized checklist based on your responses will be generated”. My son has not...

My DS will be in school....will this be available for viewing at a later time?
