Have not been on the forums for awhile -- DS got his QNV letter two weeks ago. Disappointed, not distraught. He said he'll reapply, but got busy right away doing what had to be done these last few months of high school. Aggie Eagle program at Texas A&M (got a scholarship); Commandant's...

From a mom's POV - #1 - DS wants to be an officer in the AF. #2 - DS would PREFER to be at the AFA. #3 - DS got the QNV letter - therefore has to look at other options now. #4 - Is the AFA the only way to achieve #1? No. #5 - NWP specifically gets you to #2. Hopefully. But #6 - ROTC...

We are still waiting to hear as well. Last year there were 30 AF ROTC scholarships at Texas A&M for freshmen. It will be interesting to see how many there are this year with the budget crunch.

Texas finally gets mail My DS received the QNV letter today as well. He's taking it well. On to Plan B, he still says he will reapply next year. I thought retail therapy was in order, so took him shopping and bought him new shorts (his old size 34s were totally falling off his hips) and a...

My DS got his TWE QNV letter today as well. He's upbeat, will do AFROTC at Texas A&M and reapply next year as well.

Happy Birthday JWalsh and Mateson's son!! Must be SUPER fun having your birthday on April Fool's Day...:shake:

Still waiting in Texas. No BFE, no TWE, no status change and I have company coming so I can't spend all my time on the computer. On the bright side.... I have regrouted a bathtub, raked all the leaves in the front yard, and polished off two bottles of chardonnary in the last two weeks. On to...

Here is wishing all the stalkers still left a great day. The end of March brings closure to many, one way or the other, and continuing angst to the rest. We have been talking the "what ifs" back and forth the last few days, and I do think it's more personal for the parents because I KNOW what...

Where are you from pennak and CTXmom? We are in San Antonio. Either of you going to be in the band? Or the Business School?

My DS is going to A&M in the fall, and will also be attending the Eagle Scout weekend next week. He'll also be in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, continuing the tradition from his dad who was also in the Corps and the Band. Unless he gets his AFA appointment, which at this time is looking less...

Almost time to hit the hot tub with DS - He's done two P90X workouts today (since we had a meet and greet with Plan B Dean yesterday) and seems in fine fettle. No BFE, no TWE, no status change. I talked to DH who is out of town, and said I was sort of expecting the QNV letter... but he said...

Nothing in south Texas. Silver lining to stalking - losing weight stressing over what may be. The thought of comfort food makes me want to puke. But I am not willing to hear over the phone QNS. No change in portal either. Sigh.

NDSR New Day - Same Result. No BFE, no TWE. Although I caught my mailman at the neighbor's house, and walked over there to save him the effort of driving to my house. I asked if there were something big in there, and he said "Not Today". I got my meager assortment of bills/junk mail, and I...

Hey Got2play - no BFE but no TWE right? Still in it. Our mailman must have changed the route he takes - used to come around noon, but now not until 4 pm. DS comes home after school and gets off to the gym - but today he has an English project so he won't be home until after 4:30. Gives me...

Thanks That does make the process much more clear. And I have realized all along that no matter how many applicants he is competing against - no one (except the Academy) knows how my DS stacks up against all the others out there.... so the wait continues. Thanks for all the patience that I...

This is just the type of speculating I like to do. Only problem is my DS has early release so he can go to the gym every day, and comes home to change before the mail gets here. The only thing I could do would be hide it overnight and think of something fun for the next day. My DH is TDY and...

I understand that - does anyone have a rough idea of how many candidates with Pres. nominations there are? Pima - did you use 500 as just an example, or might that be close to the real number? Also - CC's son, who got an appointment in Nov with a Presidential nomination - case in point - if...

Does anyone know the particulars about Presidential appointments? - will they be in the wave of 400 or so that are coming out this next week... - do the candidates in the Presidential Pool get ranked against other Presidential candidates only, or... - will they compete against all...
