Same here. I'm hoping the 13th was just a first wave and that the bigger wave is coming...

I'm an Aggie Corps mom. My son is a fish. For A&M I think you just need to register for new student conference, register for housing and select Corps option. That's what my son did last year. I'd suggest getting new student conference at one of the early sessions. They select a unit at...

Congratulations to all so far. Especially love seeing all those reapplicants be awarded those appointments. Good job!

So true. I read somewhere that "Mothers want their kids dreams to come true more than they do." Watching my son go through this process a 2nd time is heartwretching. I'm ready to celebrate if the appointment comes and prepared to support and help him recover and pick up the pieces if it...

I just received a text from a very happy son! He received another nomination to USAFA from TX-22.

Son hasn't heard either. Hopefully the candidates will be notified soon.

Son's AFROTC Scholarship posted to his account this week. They were notified that if shutdown continues they will not be receiving their stipend/spending money.

I thought they would have heard by now. Son got his nomination from TX-22 on Jan 18 last year. (It came up on my Facebook TimeHop this week!)

I'm curious too how this will impact application process as well. Our district MOC has not notified applicants either.

Or version 2.0 "The Worst Email" It's an acronym for a rejection letter.
