Sunshine and rainbows- USAFA is perfectly run, sexual assaults are absent, people don’t get depressed, the rules have purpose and everyone at the academy truly wants to be there, people don’t cheat, lie, or steal. The AOCs/AMTs/Leadership care about you all the time. I’m not saying all of those...

As someone who just finished at the academy I’m happy to answer any questions as well. Wasn’t a perfect child at the Academy and definitely won’t paint a completely sunshine and rainbows picture of it, but looking back it was worth it

I have been skiing lots, I have been to keystone twice and skied vail, beaver creek, breck, and aspen once each so it is possible. To get there, Renting a car is another option, and if you go with friends is really reasonable for the weekend. My skis and other gear is not one of my personal...

Any fellow Executioners out there?

Yes, a portal update is both dreadful and exciting. I just want this rollercoaster ride to end!

Deferred from MD. Kinda expected but was trying to be optimistic. Did learn that I got a nomination via my portal so that was at least slightly positive.

To the post referencing the fact that sen Cardin and representative Sarbanes don't coordinate, I can tell you that that is wrong, they do talk.

I got the nomination last year to both USNA and USAFA but not appointed (going to try again but for Air Force only). I wish I could tell you exactly how many applied but here are some numbers I remember from last year. The senators each get about 300 applicants 250 are for navy alone. I would...

Snyder what district in md?

Kinda make you wonder what? The fact that I have moved on. Or that I no longer care that I was possibly wronged. All of the above apply because there is nothing that I can do to change that. I am waiting on the other two service academies that I have applied to.

Still waiting from md-03

I don't pity myself nor have I gone off the deep end that this is the end of the world. To be quite frank CGA was not my first choice. This does fall into the bin of "life isn't fair and get over it". But the fact that being part of a majority or a minority is a irrelevant factor in actual...

I don't blame you personally. I just wish that the process was race/ origin blind with appointments going to the most qualified. I don't mind being beaten on a level playing field be that grades or athletics ect , but when the field slants because I don't fill a quota it angers me.

Got denied from CGA late last year under EA. Highschool college counsiler tried to get me reconsidered under RA. CGA counciler said that they could not take me beacuse they had a minority quota to fill. Kinda makes me irrate.:rant2:

My BGO showed me his "training manual" for lack of a better term and it had the underrepresented districts highlighted. Sadly I dont live there. :thumbdown: the states were mostly hte big square ones out west aka the dakotas.
