Not following your line of reasoning when you were told the reason why: he wasn't competitive enough in his slate. What are you asking for? The USAFA said, "they wanted him." Your son is now being afforded an opportunity that can possibly open up other avenues of appointment. For instance, an...

USMA has always said May 1st. However, if you research past Forums reporting, very few are made post 15 April Of course, not everyone is on the Forums and some who are do not report results. it has been very quiet though......
