Does anyone know what year it was moved to Spring Break and why it was moved from the end of the academic year?

Thank you. Setting expectations for my wife...and daughter...and PTB son.

With 5 days before decision day my DS is seeking all data he can consume to make decision. He does want to fly and despite the great heritage and prestige of USNA and the great support of USNA from Annapolis, USAFA flight options are very strong. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Does someone have the date for A-day?

Thank you, Hoodlum 15, for this great information. I wasn't sure of even the I-Day date. Navy I-Day is the same day, but USMA is 3 Jul.
