    Bank accounts

    After several days of contacting USAA I still seem to be having some difficulty setting up a new checking account with them. The first call I had went very well, and I got all my primary information set up, and the USAA representative helped me scan in my acceptance letter and drivers license...

    Paying for Initial Costs

    What is the estimated cost of all the fees that they deduct from the cadets paycheck throughout the years? I am curious as to how far the scholarship money I have received would get me in paying off the fees.

    Illinois nominations

    I was sent to this thread by another member - I received a nomination from Kirk (USNA) and Durbin (USAFA). Both updated in my portal today, with no interviews. USAFA is my top choice, so I hope I can reach out to Kirk and have him give the USNA nomination to another deserving applicant. I...

    Class of 2021 USNA Appointment Thread

    ahh I just got home and checked the mail- and you are completely right! Senator Kirk was the nominating source. Ironically, I also got a letter from Durbin today with a nomination to USAFA!

    Class of 2021 USNA Appointment Thread

    I believe it was Senator Durbin. My portal states "Congress/Senator 2" for my nominating source. It is odd that it does not specify who nominated me, but I am assuming it was Senator Durbin because my congressman passed out his nominations over a month ago.

    USNA LOA

    I have searched the forums and have not found an answer yet, so I thought this would be a good thread to post on. I received a LOA in mid-October. I also received a nomination on 28-Nov-16; however, my application still says my status is LOA. I have no required actions left to complete, so...

    Appointment predicament

    I submitted my applications to both USNA and USAFA by early September.

    Appointment predicament

    If I accept an appointment to the Naval Academy would I still be competitive for an Air Force Academy Appointment? Would I be able to later on decline USNA and accept USAFA?

    Appointment predicament

    My district sits just outside downtown Chicago, so it is fairly populated and competitive. I have already reached out to both of my senators and explained the situation and requested a navy nomination.

    Appointment predicament

    I have recently come across a problem I thought would never occur. I am hoping to get some input about my odds at receiving an appointment to the Air Force Academy. I have already received a LOA from USNA; however, today I received a MOC nomination to USAFA. USAFA has always been my first...

    Pilot Medical Qualifications

    I did end up getting a remedial for the leg, since it is a rod down the shin. On the other hand, even if I get DQ'd for a pilot slot I would still be just as happy to serve my country in another way through the Air Force.

    Pilot Medical Qualifications

    Thank you for all the responses. I did not intend to make my height seem like a lack of confidence, just hoping for a growth spurt! As for my leg, I have already been qualified for the academies through DoDMERB, which gives me some hope that I may be able to qualify for UPT.
