Supe told them 9/22 is the drop date. Our DD though was told this past Friday by her AOC of her job as it wasn't her top 3. That being said, after speaking with leadership and others in her squad (a cpl prior enlisted), it's a great job for her. Amazing leadership opportunity and deployment...

Our DD is class of 2024 - rising junior. She's at an Air Force base for 3 weeks this summer getting to know the A10 Warthog firsthand and the pavefinder heli. She's loving it. She got her airborne wings last summer and can't express how incredible the experience at USAFA has been. She will be...

Our DD was recruited at USCGA '24 as a swimmer. The coach was very clear, if she submitted her application by X date, they would offer her an LOA. She met all the other requirements of course, but he was super clear - we will give you an LOA if you submit. Ultimately, she went to USAFA as a...

Our DD got the Nike's (too light), Danner's (too heavy), and ultimately loved the Oakley's.

As a dad of a DD '24, wishing success to all of you! She's loving and thriving at USAFA. Can't go wrong there. Good luck all!

want to clarify - were you accepted into USAFA prep or USAFA?

my wife and I have this one on our cars and love it. USAFA Car Sticker

Our dd is a now recognized freshman at USAFA. If she wants Air Force I’d definitely push USAFA. There’s an academy vs non academy culture. Those who didn’t attend USAFA are looked upon differently.

Sorry but imho nothing as prestigious as a service academy appointment. As a business leader, the intangibles are there with an SA candidate. Leadership, teamwork, mental and physical strength outweigh a civilian college candidate.

Our DD is a Doolie at USAFA and is receiving her first Pfizer shot tomorrow.

Oh, also, the new Supe at USAFA is absolutely fantastic!

I'm sorry to hear your USAFA application process was so off-putting. Our DD is currently a Doolie at USAFA and is thriving there. The Squad camaraderie is very strong and now that she is Recognized, it's a whole new world, in the most positive sense. She is also aiming for Intelligence as her...

So, for what it's worth, our DD experienced the same issue last year. She very quickly received a waiver from USAFA and USNA but the new CMO of USCGA initially denied her a waiver. It went to the Supe who gave her clearance over the CMO's rejection. She received an appointment from USAFA and...

our doolie initially chose the rocky's. but in hindsight she said the Nike or Oakley's are the best. Good luck!

Wow! Huge wave! My DD is a Doolie this year and just completed Recognition. Really loving it there. Congrats to all, and you can't go wrong with USAFA.
