A friend of mine who has season tickets for the NE Patriots bought 2 tickets to the Army Navy game. Unfortunately, he can't go now and offered them to me (knowing I have 2 sons that graduated from the service academies). Fortunately, I'm a Air Force/Coast Guard guy so don't have any interest...

My son was waitlisted and was awarded a slot on the day of his high school graduation (May 28). There's always a chance.

My son played all 4 years (minus the covid shutdown) and enjoyed himself alot. It is competitive and they primarily travel around the New England area for tournaments. They did have one final tournament in Florida in March that they all enjoyed (and I went down to watch). They have an...

FYI: There is also a Coast Guard Academy Parents association Facebook page that is quite active and they/we answer a lot of questions like this as well.

FYI: My son was pulled off the waitlist on May 25 for class of 2023. We were line 44 in above list. It was his graduation day from HS and was informed whille getting in line for his diploma so keep up the hope!

BuckeyeDad, My son is graduating this May from USAFA and is joining the Space Force, not flying. He's always been interested in space and, even though he won't be flying, he'll be involved in both serving his country and the industry he's very interested in as a career. Your post is well...

I thought I'd send out a note to those still on the wait list. My son (currently class of 2023) was originally waitlisted, then asked if he was still interested. He didn't find out he was accepted until May 25 (his high school graduation day). We had his brother surprise him with the news...

Greetings, My son plays for the USAFA club volleyball team and they're playing in a cross academy tournament at West Point this weekend. We'd like to go watch the games but aren't sure about the access/rules for getting on campus and entering the gym. Are there any forms, permissions, etc...

The acceptance letter my son received said they're targeting a class size of 275

My son received the email stating his waiver was granted and he was fully accepted while he was in line for graduation (May 23) !! It made his day doubly special.

THanks for feedback. We did end up finding the answer in a letter DS received regarding his waiver. I'm writing it here in case anyone else has a similar question. ".. if there has been any change in your medical qualification since your original exam... notify the NROTC Scholarship...

Greetings, My DS was granted a waiver for a single DQ. However, he was injured and recovered from another injury (small bone break/chip in arm) that is not related. I would assume this has to be reported but to whom? He's planning on NROTC. Any suggestions on the proper action would be...

My DS received a call around 8am and an email from his USCGA contact at roughly the same time. Bears Den NOT updated
