Have him make an account now and click the recruit button. It’s never too early

Applying is the first step but don’t expect him to get all or any of them. They are limited in numbers. Apply to as many as he can and see where the experiences open.

Keep it simple..go with the address you are living at right now. You are not at the academy right now. Then the questions will make since.

What Capt MJ said..spot on. Prior service are compensated in pay, experience and leadership opportunities and increase time in service. However, every time a new training begins, more time is taxed on. 4 years at CGA = 5 more years in CG service.

I have heard great things about people who did not receive the acceptance to CGA on their first round, but went to MMI taking the same classes at the prep scholars and then reapplied and got in.

Like a couple other people on here suggested, apply to a school like MMI and take the same courses as the prepsters ( CGAS scholars) and reapply. I know a fine cadet who was not a recruited athlete that went this route ( yes, paid his own way) and received an full appointment the following year...

Head over to the class of 2027 parent page on Facebook. It look like veryone has received theirs now.

They have the information up on the class of 2027 parent page.

The CGA website says its typically the end of the fourth week of swab summer.

Its comforting to know I wasn't the only one with paperwork woes

Now if we could get them to glance at the ground so they don't twist their foot in a hole, that'd be lovely.

You do not need to see your dentist. Fill out the questionnaire so when your swab is seen by the CGA dentist, the process will move along quickly.

Yes they will have the dental exam there. The only medical paperwork to be signed by your physician is the immunization form.

You are correct. The first page of the two is filled in. Its a survey they have been doing for a couple years no. The pre-paperwork is done so the processing during week 1 moves quickly.

Don't believe everything you read on here. That comment about eliminating squaring of meals was some VERY BAD intel.
