Quick question....Is there a requirement for wisdom teeth removal/healing prior to IDay? DD earned an appointment but no paperwork has yet arrived. She also earned an appointment to USAFA and was told that she SHOULD have them out. Clock's ticking so any insights would be appreciated prior to DD...

We asked our DD....and she wanted her upcoming Spring Break to be the last hurrah with family, so we're beach bound to a top resort where she/we can celebrate her achievement. That gives her the final 2 1/2 months to get herself psyched. When we asked her about showing up a couple days before...

Reach out to Nancy Brooks at the Senator's office. She is awesome. She can give you the schedule for Academy Day in GA, a very useful day for learning about all the academies (she is the lead for the whole things), she can give you dates for when apps will be accepted, and even provide...

That's great. Since you're local I am sure my daughter would be happy to help you in any way she can. She's lived through the app process and has learned all the in's and out's. Best of luck to you and it's wise for you to start asking the right questions now.

DD began the overall DD app for USNA around May and had it completed in July. Began nom apps in July and had everything submitted by 9/1. Appointment for USNA arrived last week so the payoff was big to get the app early. My daughter is not a recruited athlete, so she figured, earlier the better.

follow up... quck follow up.....nomination letter from Congressman Graves arrived today. Mail must have been held up by the holidays.

My DD has and LOA and is triple qualified for USNA. She also has a nom for USAFA, so she is trying to secure a candidate tour in December to assist with a final decision. She reported she could not find anything on the USNA website (but this is accessible on the USAFA site). Does anyone know...

The other nomination came from Congressman Graves. We never got a letter, it just showed up on the USAFA portal. Hope that helps.

Z, I don't understand your question????

Things just got interesting....DD received a USAFA nomination today to go with her USNA nom, so she may have to choose between USNA and USAFA. Any comparative insights from folks out there?

MN Dad....so much for the buyer's remorse. This week the letters arrived....as soon as my DD had visual on the medical QUALIFIED from DoDMERB and the actual nomination letter in hand, she scoffed at the idea of attending anywhere but NAVY. I guess she had to see it to believe it, and played it...

Fantastic and my congratulations to your DS and to your family. Quite a feeling for all of us and SO much to be thankful for. Let me know when the BFE shows up and I'll do the same. Best to you and yours this Thanksgiving.

....forgot to mention - yes, USNA was DD's 1st pick with USAFA as an alternate.
