I concur. If you said it wasn't in your portal yet and she said they had it, they do. I would check again in a few days and it may show up. I know my DS called to let them (and the swim coach) know he had a nomination from our Congressman and Senator. She said "thanks, got it." and about...

baileydb, I am a USAF Reservist of 23 years and you have to include a copy of your Dad's Point Summary showing he has the minimum number of points or a copy of the "20 year Letter" that says he is eligible to retire. If you have not heard back from USAFA and it isn't showing in your portal then...

Soooo back on topic...... I would still love to hear from folks who did get selected for EA if they are getting Appointments or an LOA and if so what the nomination source is for the appointment. Just trying to gauge if my DS will be likely competing in his MOCs slate for the appointment or if...

USAFA sent an email saying there was a message on the portal. DS has Senator and Congressional Nominations to USAFA, Congressional to USNA, and Presidential to both. We were hoping for good news but I guess we wait. My DD is Class of 16 at USNA and had better GPA and ACT and still didn't get...

So my DS got notified he is being deferred to the Regular Selection period in March and "not to worry, about 50% of the appointments are from the Regular Selection period." So what does that mean? How many of the "early action" selections given LOAs and just need a nomination and how many are...

Aggghhhh Totally forgot about that part...Hopefully "early birds" are rewarded with a higher WCS! The good news is that at this point its out of his hands. Just don't screw up the grades (any more than most seniors do with senioritis) or get arrested! DD her senior year was in coast mode...

Posted to the portal I talked to DS about what the counselor said and he agreed she was brief more than anything and as of last night DS said the Nominations have been posted to the portal so we just truly wait.....and wait.....and wait. With DD we didn't have the noms this early and at this...

Thanks for the responses. Afa is so different than USNA. My DD is USNA 16 and was discouraged from calling by the BGO. Go figure. I am hoping we hear sooner than later. AFROTC and NROTC scholarship boards both met this week for his first look. Got his USNA nomination from the congressman also...

So my DS now has three nomination sources for USAFA (Senator, Congressman (NE-02), and Presidential) and one of the ALOs we know recommended he call his Admissions Counselor to "share" and touch base. I seem to recall seeing others on this forum say similar things about how the Counselors are...

So I have a couple of questions. My DS received the call from one of our Senators he is one of his nominees for USAFA. How long will it take for the portal to be updated after the MOCs office informs USAFA of their slate? Second, DS has been getting some interest from the swim team and we...

How very true on the participation of the MOC. Both my DD three years ago and DS this year found the interviewers engaging and knowledgeable on the military and leadership as a whole. They were people who were community leaders, current and former military members, and frankly were more...

Don't be afraid to call! The other option is to call the NROTC 1-800-628-7682 (NAV-ROTC) and check with them on if they actually have everything. If you see my previous post the Portal said DS was done, then not done. I called the 800 number and followed the menu options to "Questions after...

Interesting...My DS portal had said "Complete" and had his POC's contact information. Now it says: Your application is at CNRC for additional processing. Items waiting to be processed: Transcripts Debarment and Drug Statement Statement of Understanding It used to say that before and he sent...

One note about the reservists, the form that is available from the Academies lays out the requirements. You must have at least 2880 points. You basically get one point a day for each day of training, orders, or active duty time. A typical reservists gets about 75 points per year so in order...

I am curious about the "stats" or status your child has to get an Academy to select to use a Presidential Nomination this early? Both USAFA and USNA have my status and show my DS as "RECEIVED" for the Presidential Nomination and his applications for both were completed in October. My DD is...

I would be very careful about judging the content of classes at any top tier college by sitting thru a single class and comparing to the material in an AP review book. If you think the most difficult thing you have to worry about is time management and military training then you are setting...

Most of the MOCs require ACT scores and even get a copy of the transcripts. The committees used by our MOCs were respected members of the community business, education, and local military base. The key difference they have is the face-to-face interview to say "that kid had it together" and...

While your SNSI can nominate three, they don't have three NOMINATIONS, to a Service Academy. They are nominating to the greater NJROTC pool which will select the NJROTC "NOMINATIONS". There are far few of those than three per NJROTC unit. It is highly probable that none of the NJROTC...

This past year the Plebes rated media, facebook, extra liberty and overnights a lot during the fall when the Football team was winning! Then the Dark Ages struck. New training staff in the Company. Not so much this semester. Not looking good for media anytime soon. The training staff...

Thanks again. I am also hearing the "other side" of these stories coming out. There were some issues and they are being dealt with. Just as important to me is that after the initial "wow that's hilarious. Lmao" responses there have been a number of former Mids and parents express how thy isn't...
