Guts here!

Just a suggestion...if your parents are members of the USAFA Class of 2023 Parents Group on Facebook (parents have to provide proof of appointment to join), you can use this as a resource to connect with others traveling alone.

Our tradition in town is to give the amount that equals the grad year, so this year, we gave $20.19. We also had over 20 grad parties to attend...

The USAFA AOG website has some fun stuff. I bought a USAFA mom shirt. The USAFA visitor center has nice USAFA mom mugs (Can call and have them ship).

Yea! So happy for you!!!

You can also check the PW schedule on the USAFA Parents page. It’s still listing info for 2018, but it should be updated shortly. Over the years, the agenda stays relatively the same so you can coordinate your travel with some confidence!

There were 68 Falcon Foundation Scholars this past year, so the self-reporting in this category is a much higher percentage than the others. It makes sense in my head that this happens because of the relationships they have built over the past year.

This document is pretty helpful...https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL33213.pdf if you want a good overview of nominations.

My DD is going though this thought process right now. She has dreamed of going into medicine since elementary school and has not waivered from that goal since. Although she would love to go to USAFA (sister just received appt to c/o 2023) she would not be happy with any slot but Med school...

+1 to AF Warrior. If you are competitive, you'll get an email telling you to check your portal. The portal will have a Candidate letter and a checklist to complete with deadline dates.

Let the fun begin!!

We received an email at 0500 to check the portal. It's been my experience that email notifications are sent for portal updates (with exception of the Honor Video).

I had a feeling yours would be delayed as they would have to rectify the nomination source (last year it looked like end of March, although I've seen Falcon postings from earlier years in May). Crossing my fingers for you!

Have you heard anything yet?
