    Weeellll ... there seems to be a bit of confusion at the AOG regarding this (I think you're right that it is a thing, though). Waiting on final confirmation but didn't want to mislead people in the meantime. The person at the AOG who told me about this is currently on vacation. The membership...

    Webguy and beyond

    I've been informed that the person I spoke with at the AOG was incorrect when telling me that "Webguy" was included. It is NOT included in this pricing. Oh well, I guess we all make mistakes. :)

    injury pt 2

    Any time you have a waiver, they "check on entry". My DD had a torn ACL. I think all they did was ask her to do a couple of squats. Not a big deal.

    So, I'm obviously on an "Support the AOG" rampage! If you want to know what the AOG does for cadets, here's a short list: Here is the AOG link. https://www.usafa.org/AboutUs Notice the main page has Association of Graduates &Endowment. Same ‘company’ two hats. The Association of Graduates...

    Why do the Cadets throw cheese?

    My understanding is that it is prohibited in the future? No more spirit cheese.

    Reapplicant Question

    I believe the DoDMERB exam is good for 2 years. They'll tell you if you need to do it again. They also know the college transcripts come out later.

    Steps to Re-Apply in 2021

    I believe that you can find the answer if you log into your portal. If I remember correctly, all of your information is there and you can reapply through. Let us know, though. I only discovered that when, out of curiosity, I logged into my DD account & it was still there with a "reapply" option...

    Essay

    I would say either the 2nd or 4th one. You can highlight your personal integrity with the last one. The 2nd one, highlight your leadership and teamwork skills.

    Reality Check

    For USAFA, I honestly do think that there was a concerted effort to attract more females the last several years. This year, there were a lot more. I don't necessarily think its because standards were lowered or a huge push on quotas (though some). I think it's the advertisement blitz that...

    Reality Check

    I can agree with that :) ... though deserve does not equate to earned. ;) You can earn it but not really deserve it. Not sure how to determine that, though. I hear about "lowering physical standards for women" (is it really lowering when the whole point is to determine fitness?) or "lowering...

    Reality Check

    Here's the thing, everyone that gets an appointment, EARNED that appointment. Does it mean that those who didn't get an appointment don't deserve it? Of course not! There are many very deserving candidates who apply. There just aren't enough slots. Are there quotas or is there special IC...

    Will an anxiety disorder disqualify me?

    You won't know unless you try. You may have outgrown the condition (it happens!) Something to keep in mind (and not to dissuade you, only to make you aware!) I know of one young lady who had panic attacks during BCT a few years ago. Remember this is a highly stressful, little sleep...

    Reality Check

    This thread makes me so sad. I pray that someday, maybe, we won't need stats and won't have to worry about gender, race, etc. Everyone will feel like they have a fair shot. Right now, the pendulum *appears* to be swinging all over the place. :( Regardless, work hard and do your best. No...

    Interaction with ALO

    My DD didn't meet her ALO until the interview (he was too busy with current applicants, job, etc.) Both Navy BGO and AF ALO met with us, but not until right after the interview. So, I recommend that your son sit with the ALO without you present (ALO may ask you to leave anyway). Then ask your...

    What's is it that they say about the rules? The only thing constant is change? ;)

    Need some prayers for DS in Class of 2020

    They do have more rules in place than when 2018 went through it from what DD told me. In general, these "kids" have never really failed at anything, so I know that they have to learn what that feels like & how to deal with it. Its a pretty tough lesson. However, now that they're in 2nd BCT, it...

    Need some prayers for DS in Class of 2020

    Daretodream : Praying for your son's health! Don't worry too much about the weight loss, though. My DD lost 10lbs which pushed her into the underweight category - that's when the Boost is introduced into her diet. DS4Duty: I'll disagree a bit with your assessment that not everyone fails. The...
