First off, congrats!!! It's a tough selection and I'm sure you're very excited. I'm also a doolie right now, and wanted to provide another perspective. Not to discredit the OP, but I know that last year I wanted as much info as I could get from these forums. - Not much to add here. Arrive with...

I have a couple of notes on my I-Day experience to add, just providing a different perspective! Feel free to use or ignore at your own discretion :) - Please do not be "box guy" or "slides girl"! If you bring a silly storage container or are inappropriately dressed for the occasion, every...

I remember receiving advice from you more than a year before, and having that magical day of receiving my acceptance letter. I am very excited to hear what happens next and to hear that you'll be joining USAFA!

So I've heard as well... I've also heard that cough drops are the closest thing that doolies get to hard candy, making them a popular item to have.

This is what you need to fill out on the form, or at least what I picked up while reading through it. Take with a grain of salt, since I might have also not understood the form, so any corrections from someone like HCopter of Flieger would be greatly appreciated! Rank - Cadet Current amount of...

No assignment either... I heard that the parent association would be sending out info since the new candidate portal has complicated the whole application process this year, but I can't verify that's true.

I was lucky enough to receive a call from my nominating MOC a couple of days before the decision letter showed up in my portal, but it would've definitely been frustrating if the email had gone to my spam. I might've not ever have seen the email.

Thanks all for your advice! Almost a year later, sticking with cooking landed me in national competitions and the role of VP for my cooking club's district. I also joined XC the fall of my senior year, and it helped a ton with my CFA, as I achieved excellent scores. Thanks for helping me out on...

Congrats!

I've heard that the last portion of BCT is a 2 week teamwork segment, in which all of the doolies go into the forest and camp out. does this actually happen, and if so, what was your experience like?

Congratulations on your principal nomination to USNA! I received the principal nomination from CO-6 MOC Jason Crow for USAFA, but I didn't apply to any of the other academies... I received the nomination late December, and, like you, am waiting for news on an appointment. Maybe we passed by...
