    Any incoming cadets staying at the Academy Hotel?

    There are quite a few here. My DS met up with about 6 last night and there were quite a few more down at breakfast. There is an instagram group and they have been communicating through that.

    USAFA Class of 2023 Appointment Thread

    Spoke to someone at USAFA today and they said an application review will not be held up by the waiver process. They are separate processes. That was very good news.
