question Thank you for all the info!!! What is "SFT"?

My son received a 4 year AF ROTC scholarship to an instate school, or a 3 year to an outstate school. This information was via email, and he electronically accepted the 3 year outstate to the school he had already been working with. I am surprised that we have received nothing via (snail)...

TWE Got a TWE for my son here in Minnesota. We got it after we returned from our family spring break vacation. It was dated March 18th. The sad part was the included generic letter. It lists all the things he can do to improve his score, but he already has done and accomplished all...

our experience Initially my son was interested in Merchant Marine Academy (as well as AFA, NA and WP), but after really looking at their academic programs, he decided that he was no longer interested in the Merchant Marine Academy. He stopped sending them information and informed his MOC that...

MN here We are from MN too (district 01), and have heard nothing. I have seen a couple of appointments on the AFA thread (I think) if not there, then on West Point, as I watch all three of them. My son received nominations for all three. We have heard nothing on any of them. The waiting is...

Thank you for your "food for thought". My son has always envisioned himself as a military officer and had spoke of enlisting "when he turns 18" for years prior to finding out about the military academies. They all just match very well with his ambitions and dreams (well, the USAFA and USNA a...

A young man from our city received his appointment quite late (May 10th) as he was some sort of a secondary choice. The first choice decided to take a full ride sport scholarship to a private university, and did not notify the academy until May 1st (which I believe was his deadline). So as...
