Hey everyone! The wing made some really great spirit videos this year. Here are three popular ones. The office is especially good. Beat Army! Enjoy! - "The Office" - "Army Cruelty" - "Between two Doolies"

Thank you very much insider!

I got Cobras... The problem is the travel orders says to report on 6/26, 2014... Which is last years I-day. It seems that everyone who was assigned the cobras squadron was given this error. I am sure it is just a mistake, should I just wait a few days for it to be addressed or should I reach out...

Haha, Goodluck to you too. AP Bio and C++ have been killing me all year and I have had a high C + in both those classes since the beginning of the year, but now since it is the home stretch it is freaking me out! I am really not the type to stress over grades either so it's weird that my stress...

Before I begin, I would like to say I hope all fellow appointees are enjoying the short time left before basic with their family and friends. As much as I am trying to enjoy my time, while prepping myself for BCT, I can't help but to feel pretty stressed about this 8th semester transcript. I...

Just an update to anyone who might have issue in the future: I called today and they didnt seem to concerned, she asked for a blood test after the 8 weeks and I will be good to go! But definitely contact DoDMERB before taking accutane so you do not risk anything!

Thank you, and I hope so! I feel like there is always something you can concern yourself with regarding the application process even after you have been accepted! On the flip side I have stressed over a lot of things about my application and everything has worked out perfectly thus far! Thanks...

My whole house is very, very, very tense leading up to tomorrow's phone call with DODMERB... We are all praying to God that taking accutane doesn't destroy my future. I cannot reiterate enough how healthy I am post accutane, I can't imagine being medically disqualified feeling perfectly 110%...

The DoDMERB qualification list says under skin conditions that Accutane is disqualifying until 8 weeks after treatment. After 8 weeks you are qualified. Plus there is no trace of it in my system because I had no negative bodily side affects whatsoever..... I hope it isnt a problem but I will...

hello everyone! I received my USAFA appointment last week and I was going through the follow up medical paperwork for appointees and something came to my attention... After my DODMERB (in which I was deemed qualified) I was prescribed accutane to get rid of some mild but persistent acne on my...

I am pretty sure that every letter says the same thing essentially. Mine said "on behalf of the superintendent" as well. Congrats on the appointment

Along with the questions, it's important to be assertive. I was given my principal nomination on December 1st last year... I waited and waited for it to uploaded in my portal and it never happened. Mid January rolled around and I started making phone calls (thanks to the member "insider" for...

I live pretty close to USMA and it is the reason why I applied to the academies. I am still absolutely mesmerized by the campus and the history that it has. I also love USAFA and I am excited to live in another part of the country, plus I want to be a pilot. But USMA is so awesome (didn't...

+1 That's awesome that you got into USMA as well as USAFA and still have a shot at USNA. Do you have any idea which academy you will pick if you end up being an appointee to all three? Just curious... I can't stress the importance of this enough to prospective candidates: if you do everything in...

Congrats Bailey! You deserve it, I knew all along that you were going to make it!!

I am writing this thread for anyone who plans on applying (or reapplying) to a service academy and truly believes in their heart that a service academy is where they are meant to be. The application process can get discouraging at times, so I think my application story can help... A year ago...

thank you so much and yes exactly, I really would like to have it in writing but at the same time I am trying not to rush it! Everyday left before basic is important and I dont want to waste it by anticipating something that is bound to arrive. The class of 2019 is on the clock now...

Goodluck to you, tomorrow could be your day! I hope that the portals will be updated by the time I wake up so that I dont have to check the portal every 5 minutes during school

despite receiving the call on friday, am I the only one thats still a bit anxious for the appointment to be officially updated into their portal tomorrow? Nevertheless, congrats again to all the new appointees! 98 days till we report!!!

Congrats bailey you deserve it! West point is awesome, I live close to the campus.... Anything from USAFA for you just yet?
