    Is the swearing-in on the 24th (I-day - Thursday) or Friday the 25th?

    New USAFA parent has questions

    Thank you so much Greentrees! :smile: I really appreciate your detailed answer!!! So the I-day being 24 June, parents could leave the zoo after lunch then? But it sounds like there is something on the 25th that could be "watch-worthy" - eg the swearing in followed by the march out to Jack's Valley?

    New USAFA parent has questions

    Sorry for what may be dumb questions but even though hubby is a grad, things were waaay different when he came to USAFA back in '74 and I have no clue - I was AFROTC. So what is the process for parents who go to I-Day at USAFA? If the new cadet-to-be gets the AFA-proivided ticket to fly in on 23...

    Nomination received

    That was my son and it is still a thrill to think Sen Chambliss took the time to call - and he called three times till we finally answered! And it wasn't even a staffer saying "Hold Please for Sen Chambliss" :thumb: I think both Georgia senators do it right. They are already advertising for...

    Lost chances for additional nominations

    I was under the impression that it is not a 100% ironclad guarantee that if you have a nomination and an LOA that you will get an appointment....:confused:

    Cross Country Running Son told he's too...

    ...skinny. On his DODMERBS forms his weight was listed as 130 and apparently min weight for his height (72-in) is 131. We were shocked to get a letter from USNA with forms to have doctor re-weigh him and re-confirm his height, neck size etc. so his body fact percentage can be calculated. We have...

    Question about appointments...

    I have noticed on this board several who already have appointments. How is that possible? I thought appointments - other than athletic - would occur in Feb-Mar? My son has three nominations - from Georgia's two senators and a Presidential - but no LOA. He did not submit his application...
