Haha I could possibly make some good money with this years situation! But it was more just a concern if they hadn't received my paperwork.

No I accepted instantly, and have done all the required paperwork from the first and second BFE. I even have a bank account set up at AFB.

I received my offer of appointment in mid january and for some reason today I received another appointment dated April 18. Has anyone else received a 2nd Appointment BFE? Is it just a mix up with mailing or what?

Thanks Zooming. What if you do not want to take spanish, say you would like to try Arabic or another less common language?

I just read in my Instruction to Appointees handbook that students that have a background in Spanish or German are required to take a placement exam prior to reporting to the Academy. It is hidden on the bottom of page 17. Has anyone taken this test yet, or know anything about it?

The CFA at USMA SS is official, in case you were wondering.

So if you pass the first test in under 5 mins you don't have to take swimming at all?

Thanks for the info hornetguy

In the instruction to appointees hand book there is info about a 250 meter swim, and in two different spot it says there is a minimum of 5 mins and 9 mins. Anyone know which one is correct?

Are you an appointee for 2015? For appointees it says to send your final transcripts at the end of your senior year.

So does turning in the Authorization to Start, Stop or Change an Allotment form on IDay automatically sign you up for the AOG? Or do you just turn in the form then decisions on payments are made later?

I'm same as southern falcon, went to summer seminar and accepted the appointment. I'd love to go for fun one more time if I get the chance.

I received my BFE literally 2 hours after my online status was changed. It all just depends on timing.

Thanks for the info Bundy

I have heard rumors of a $2500.00 initial deposit that is mandatory at USAFA. Could anyone provide some info?
