This link below is the AIM handbook from 2022. I’m sure there will be an updated version for this year, but this should give you an idea of how things are done. Page 4 explains options for airport transportation for those arriving without parents. They did offer buses...

It should be updated in late March or early April after most of the appointments are done. The forms and checklists don’t change much each year. The 7/1 date isn’t likely to change. If you don’t have a passport get that done. The rest of the items won’t take long to do.

I recommend going to the DODMERB board on these forums and search myopia then read whatever you can find on it. If you haven’t already submitted additional medical information you should. Ideally you want a write up from an ophthalmologist to address the points below. I think with poor vision...

If he doesn’t currently have a passport, apply for one now. The rest of the things you’ll need to do won’t take much time.

My son got a principal nomination last year. He got his appointment offer about two weeks later, just before Christmas. You should hear soon. Congratulations!

My son failed the first cfa, took a retest, passed it and was admitted. I’m sure he’s not the only one!

A reservist isn’t active duty.

Just to give you some support on the gap year….My son took a gap year and is currently at one of the service academies. He did not apply to the academies during high school, then decided after the deadline that he was interested. He was a recruited athlete and also had excellent academics and...

We were done around 4 last year. It was raining which moved swearing in indoors and that delayed things. I recommend you bring some food and drink for your swab to eat during your goodbye time after swearing in. My son gulped down a sub. The only event we attended over the weekend before was...

You typically apply to grad school after your first or second tour. The CG will send out messages explaining the process for each program and you submit a package to that program. Programs could include engineering of various types, intel, law, finance, Academy instructor, etc. You submit...

Another PA. Son has done Senator Toomey zoom interview and has Senator Casey interview today in person. He had an in person panel interview for MOC on Nov 13 (PA-15). They called on Nov 15 to tell him he got the Principal nomination for USAFA.
