Good Grief!

I was told 8. 11 to USMA, 8 to USAFA, 6 to USNA.

I would be more than happy to help, these young people deserve all the support we can give them.

This really helped me last year when I was trying to decipher all of the lingo on here. Good luck with you quest to attend a service academy. http://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/the-acronym-list.11568/

Quick, cash it in! Congratulations, well done.

We were told early in the process, that the process itself has a way of leading you where you are intended to be. Thank you for you kind words.

DS received a TWE this morning in the mail. This has been such a long process and he has switched back and forth between USNA and USAFA numerous times. In the last couple of weeks it has been USAFA, so we are good to go. USNA is such a wonderful institution and we are so happy for those that...

More than likely, there will also be representative of the ROTC from local colleges and universities. My son actually spent more time with them than he did with reps from the SAs. Also, there may be some current SA students and parents there to talk with. As a father, I spent most of my time...

Wow, chemical engineering, she is way too smart for most. Good for her. It is very interesting here in the South to see Bama make such a strong statement and go after the best of the best. We need that. I know they have put a lot of money into their engineering schools and have plans to make...

Wow, looks like Bama rolled strong on some potential great engineering students today. My DS has been recruited by Bama for a while now, the letter today is a strong offer. My DS is not going there, but Bama is making a statement. Good for them and any who decide to go there.

My son will be there on April 3. I am so thankful they got the site fixed. I hope all those that attend these appointee visits take full advantage, and introduce yourselves to each other. However, I would suspect that those that are appointed are not "wall flowers", time to start making some...

DS is trying to decide between an appointment to USAFA and AFROTC scholarship. I understand the academy process, not the ROTC. In the long run, which do you feel is better. Yes, I know this is a loaded question, but I need a place to start. Thanks Pima

Sorry, I checked the an acronym list but could not find it, what is CIET and does it apply to all branches of ROTC training? Thanks

How many have applied and got as far as you? How many had the fortitude to try again? You are better than most. You are another great example of how amazing our youth is. I have a feeling you are going to a great leader some day. Best of luck, and blessings to you.

I wondered who would notice, USMA has not had a wave as well.

What do you mean by "if you make it that far" comment? Oh, and congrats on all of the academy people you have in your life, amazing!

My DS and I got a very late start on the ROTC scholarship process, he has been very focused on academies. However, he wants ROTC as an option in case he decided attend a civilian school. He was only eligible for third board and interviewed with a Lt. Col at one of our state universities about...

I am happy for all of those appointed, especially for Bailey. It has been a pleasure to witness her commitment and enthusiasm through this process. Bailey certainly is an inspiration and is going to be a great addition to the academy. "The best and brightest", congratulations Bailey. Hey, if...

Congratulations on your DS appointment to USAFA, my DS is also a USAFA appointee from MS-1. We live in Southaven, my son goes to Northpoint. I don't know that my DS will attend USAFA, he wants to go to USNA, but who knows. I know you are as proud as I am about your son, best wishes to you...

No reason for anybody to panic, anything you read right now is pure speculation. My DS first choice is USNA, they offered and he accepted a CVW in September. USNA said that if they were not serious about DS they would not have asked him to take the CVW. He has been appointed as of last week...
