I am truly pulling for you Mr.Figgs!!!! I have watched you for two admission cycles and I know that you were hopeful today with the Admiral's visit. Don't let it get you down! Keep on with your great confidence and dedication! I believe everyone will have an answer by April 1, yes?

They do receive one as well. My daughter is a Scholar now and she received one last year with her Appointment.

Totally Agree - they all start at the same point at USCGA. I was just trying to point out that each Prep School does have it's own unique situation. Semesters vs. Trimesters, class that are required for their prep school (Army, Navy,etc.) military obligations, some encourage playing sports, some...

Congratulations!!! That is amazing! I know you are thrilled. The academics at the Prep Schools vary depending on which school your DD attends. My DD is at GMC and they are taking 26-27 credit hours per trimester. Like @momoftwo said, at GMC at least, there is very, very little time for anything...

Congratulations!!!! I recall you from last year! This is amazing news! I am certain you are Over The Moon!!!! Yay!

Congrats to your son! Such exciting news!!! Did his coach actually tell him he was going to NAPS? As far as I know, none of the scholars have been given their assignments yet.

I know that many on here may disagree with me but, perhaps it is a better option to stay at MMA, graduate with the3rd Mates License and decide where he wants to go from there. He can go MARGRAD and serve as a USCG officer, or at that point, he may find that the high dollar civilian opportunities...

Very cool. Good for your DD. Hard work paying off Congrats!!!

That's a blessing! I assumed you might be OS or CS (heading straight to A School out of Boot) That was just a guess. Wiith Non-Rate time and the long waits for A School, though, it's hard to reach E5 in the CG and still be within College Age! :) Good for you! No, I am not. All my kids. Two...

That's terrific. Most people don't realize that the enlisted side is a true ass kicking. With all of the quals and tests, training and etc - it's a lot. Kudo's to you for handling all of THIS while you are also handling all of THAT. What's your Rate?

@Mc20 - are you enlisted CG?

@Eakers207 CONGRATULATIONS to your DD! What an amazing gift to receive in the middle of all of the world craziness! I know that you must be soooo happy! My DD's AO told her that because the Scholars are competing in a very large pool (basically, anyone who didn't get a direct appointment) AND...

Hello to All! I feel like I am the only one lost on this issue. I apologize for ignorance! My DD was offered a CGAS appointment but needs to complete her medical. She has received nothing, no email, etc indicating how to do that. (Nothing from Concord) The admission staff is on Holiday break...

[ Been There! A little different but...same worry!!! The enlisted side of the CG is incredibly difficult to get into. They have far more people interested than they can accept so you have to have something unique, or some quality they want, to even get a call back from a Recruiter. If you do...

Thank You!
