For any 2016 parents on this forum, I would like to be sure that you are aware of the USAFA 2016 Spirit Mission. This is a not for profit organization that supports our cadets throughout their 4 years at the academy. Over the last few years, each class's parents have organized a Spirit Mission...

Yes, you can get a waiver for weight. It is body fat less than 20%. After you apply and send in your physical, you will have an extra form to fill out by doctor or school nurse. FYI, they use tape measure body fat, neck and waist only for men. (google tape measure body fat for the formula to see...

I read the info in the handbook from online previously, was looking for additional info/experience thanks, kdc246. My C4C DS was already placed in the program, likely related to his ACT and the amount of AP classes he has already taken.

Can anyone tell me about the scholars program?

One other piece of advice. Be sure to get that Eagle in Boy Scouts!

accepted 4/1 and still don't have ours

Academy has day tours for potential cadets and sets aside some for the appointees. When DS got appointment I contacted USAFA and they are doing tours Tuesdays and Wednesday's in April for appointees.

Yes, sent you a PM

DS accepted 4/1 and haven't got the 2nd BFE but DS did get email asking for the measurements (for uniforms) to be sent and we also did the vaccine sheet which they wanted right away also (check the portal, 'instructions to appointees' which has lots of info)

Check out the Webguy page, he says date is Aug 7th

FYI, my DS's portal updated on a thursday am 3/29 to appointment offered. This was our first notice and got the BFE Sat, so it's not just Sunday. Good luck to all.

Appointment All smiles here for my DS, No MOC call (we were out of the country) but website updated 3/28 and BFE waiting for us when we got home. :shake::shake::shake:

Appointment Moved from the stalking to the paperwork. DS didn't receive MOC call but online changed 3/29/12 and BFE here 3/31/12 1. kdc246 (DS), CA-07, Presidential, ?, -, 10/28/11 2. Michaela, NY-?, Congressional, Ackerman, -, 12/?/11, mpr94@ymail.com 3. gamom2016, GA-?, Senator, Isakson...

OK I feel scantly better.. going off to Mexico, making sure the DS doesn't get himself in trouble. hopefully something when we get back

Tried not to look but when DS's twin looked at dinner last night, had to see. not really something for the dinner table... gross. meanwhile SMNE for us, no MOC call either, becoming very anxious and ready for disappointment. think the CFA will kill us but hope the administrative DQs have all...

OMG thanks for the intel, here's hoping its good for all of us :smile:

Thanks, that helps and I agree it makes sense but... who knows. I'm sure your DS will do well at USNA. My DS plan B,C, D all include me paying a lot of money. :frown:

any particular reason that you think all the DQs would be in by now? when did you find this out for DS? Now I am more paranoid, my DS only did 7 but his academics are very high and I have heard from several sources that his WCS is high. OMG, can we get this over with before I have an MI!!!

CFA I am one to always try to find the positives. So DS doesn't have an update showing CFA too low so that is good. I too have a 215 pound lineman, profsparrow,:thumb: so I know what you mean, (those pull ups are brutal). He had to keep weight for wrestling 220 (needed the spot in the team...

How do you know? And does anyone know how they group them? By region, alphabet, random?
