Yes! Right to left: my son, his civilian date, my civilian daughter and her date (sons good friend). Prepare for any type of weather! 2022 saw 15" of snow!!

We took my DS ('23) his mini Martin to him over Thanksgiving. He decided on the mini because of storage issues, he was in a 3 man room, but may take one of his electrics and his tiny Orange amp with him when he has a few more privileges/room.

My DS was in D&B this past year as a Doolie. He graduated from an arts magnet played classical guitar, piano, drums, but had never marched or played a brass instrument. He was convinced by a friend to audition because D&B is 'mission critical', attending all football games and USAFA was playing...

I can not say enough about MMI! My son attended MMI and is now at USAFA. Living in a military environment really prepped him for the Academy and cemented his desire to go. They train their cadets very well and offer many options if your DS/DD decides to not continue with the military. As a self...

I applaud your determination to reapply and, usually, so does the Academy. Do your best and don't let the numbers get to you. Your numbers look good, so take a look at your total application and ask your ALO what your weakest link is and go from there. My DS's was involvement and leadership, he...

Presidential is a percentage, Foundation scholarships are a specific dollar amount. My DS's tuition ended up being mostly just room, board and uniforms.

If this was directed to me, I apologize for the late reply. He was sponsored by Mom and Dad! He did received a MMI Presidential Scholarship and a Foundation Scholarship, so that made the decision easy!

My DS just graduated from SAP at MMI and is headed to USAFA. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

Curious what your decision was? One DS (who did not apply to an academy) will be going to CSM in the fall. We live in Texas and he never had any interest in ATM (I'm a Longhorn, so that may have had an influence!), he said too big. FYI, you can get a parking pass at Mines as a commuter student...

My DS and I will be there too! No idea the agenda, just happy to be there;)

My DS is currently a self prep at MMI and I can't say enough about MMI! He had different weaknesses in his application. Great scores (1430/33) and good GPA (3.7 unweighted with 17 AP classes) but he graduated from a magnet school with no athletics and very little leadership opportunities. MMI...
