Thanks for the help on finding artwork. Didn't mean to open a can of worms! I'm not military but was initially confused by the term because it is in no way connected to what DD terms a cadet-led spirit mission. Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

I recall that there are several folks on this forum that are associated directly with the Academy and "in the know" on many things! I am on the Class of 2018 Spirit Mission committee and creating banners for Recognition. Wondering if there is a source where I may obtain high res artwork (.eps...

Second Chances Poptart: I cannot speak to your specific situation, but possibly my DD's story can give you some food for thought. My DD had ACCEPTED an appointment last year as part of the Class of 2017. 30 days before I-Day, she rescinded her appointment. She had not done anything "wrong"...

I Saw Those Guys... I'm not going anywhere. The journey has only begun.... I watched enough video and looked at enough pictures to know you guys knew what you were talking about. At the airport yesterday, we saw another family sharing a tearful goodbye with a long man. At first glance, I...

I want to give props to this group for helping me get to this point. DD left on an airplane today at 2pm. The experience and wisdom you have offered is invaluable. I hope that I can earn my chops over the next four years and become a valuable contributor for those that aspire to serve this great...

Your Poor Parents.... I can only imagine the disappointment your parents will feel. If they are anything like the parents of other cadets, they have made countless sacrifices for 12+ years taking you to this practice or the other, buying you new cleats, make sure you have every opportunity...

I so appreciate all the tips, tricks and suggestions. One other question... I've read posts that indicate that football tickets sell out quickly for Parents weekend. I tried to buy them online this week, but appears that they haven't gone on sale yet. Some ticket brokers are offering tickets, I...

For all you parents who've been through this before... 3 questions: 1. what were the items that your DD/DS appreciated most upon completion of BCT? 2. what are the necessities that you delivered to your DD/DS at Parents Weekend? 3. are there secrets/tips to helping your DD/DS through...

DD missed a call from Senator Hatch's office on Friday afternoon while she was at softball practice. They did not leave a message. Hopefully tomorrow will hold more information. Keep praying!

Thank you for the insights. I have been concerned about the “friction” that could be created for having IC status, but not being a legitimate athlete. Even more convinced than ever now that DD needs to figure out the softball thing. I’ve been following the IC v. non-IC thread for several weeks...

I highly recommend the Fairfield Inn - Air Force Academy which is off Baptist road. If I recall, just two exits north of the North Gate. Also, I will warn you.... the North Gate will not let visitors in until 8am, so there is no need to “be early” as you’ll find yourself sitting in the parking...

I’m familiar with those numbers and they do not work. No answer, disconnected... if I recall. I call the Athletic Department and was pointed yet a different direction. We know that the manager role would give DD IC status... her first passion is softball, second is basketball. She doesn’t have...

Bad Phone Numbers I’ve tried all the phone numbers published on the club/IM page and none of them worked. The Athletic Department gave me a different number for which no one answered nor called me back. All assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Insiders... I’m hoping you can help me track down some information. I’ve been trying for months, but keep reaching dead ends. Who is the women’s club softball coach and how does one go about getting involved with the team, tryouts, etc. It seems that since it is not officially IC, nor IM...

Congratulations fellow Utahan Congratulations to your DD or DS on his/her appointment. I know how proud you must be. My DD received an appointment from Congressman Chaffetz (UT-03). The second district covers along of ground. Where's home? They grow up too fast!!!

Congratulations!!! Congratulations to you and your DS. I can imagine the pride you all feel right now. Soak it up... there is so much to do before I-day.

Sensitive to Time... If you are on a tight schedule, be sure your DS is aware of the importance of being back by 3:30. My DD and her cadet host were well after 4:00 when they returned as they were having such a good time together. I wasn't trying to make a flight, so it didn't stress me out...

Congratulations! Congratulations to all the recent appointees. The wait is torture, I know, but the joy and exhilaration upon getting the good word is unquenchable. It’s been almost two weeks for DD and we are still on a high.:smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile:

Such an amazing feeling.... Congratulations Alparent. It’s been an amazing ride and is only going to get better. It’s been a crash course and I agree, the men and women who monitor this forum -- who’ve been around the block a time or two -- have been incredibly resourceful. Be proud of your...
