I had some backups, A&m being one of them. Although I really wanted to get out of the state (even though i'm not such a big fan of the cold). Originally I thought I was only going to be able to get a nomination for West point from Kay Bailey Hutchinson, but then it ends up that my congressman...
I have not been accepted into Annapolis. At this point, I'm really not sure. I like the idea of going to either place. Where else did you apply?
I will definitely miss this great Texas weather. Cold weather will be most interesting.
Well, I'm going to visit Annapolis and West Point in February, and I'm doing the Air Force orientation in April. I've been to West Point before, they also have a really nice campus (in fact all the academies have a nice campus). It'll be fun getting used to the cold.
I know right. I didn't get in the SLS for Air Force and West Point, but yet I got an LOA to Air Force and got my appointment from west point in january. I guess its just one of those things we will just never figure out. And i really thought i was going to get in the Air Force SLS, but i guess...

I received my appointment two weeks ago. I'm waiting before I send in the acceptance post card, so I can keep my options open just in case. Have you received your appointment?
Hey, I also received my first nomination from Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson. I also found out on the same date, but I guess that would make sense. I got a phone call from one of her staff during community service so it really threw me off guard.
I knew it was competitive, but Senator...
With the start of second semester, I have started my Rugby season. My concern is the chance of receiving a devastating injury that would cancel my appointment. I have my appointment for Air Force, and I'm on the national waiting list for both Navy and Army. I love playing rugby but the risk of...
