    Parents Weekend 2016 - Arizona Flights

    UPDATE: We flew Frontier direct to Colorado Springs for Parents Weekend - It went PERFECTLY! Both flights were actually 15 minutes early - and it was so much less stressful flying direct, and not having to deal with the I 25 traffic to Denver. Will definitely fly this route again.

    Parents Weekend 2016 - Arizona Flights

    Frontier Airlines will begin running non stop flights from Phoenix Sky Harbor directly to and from Colorado Springs this summer. The drive back to Denver airport after parent's weekend last year had extremely heavy traffic, due to Labor Day, so we are looking forward to flying directly out of...

    Letter of Assurance

    Hang in there, Angelic - we all understand, and it will be worth the wait - consider it character building! Do have a plan B, but don't get discouraged if you have to wait until March- as I will be the first to admit I got discouraged numerous times! My DS took it all in stride, and yes, he did...

    BCT ends

    Congrats to all of the class of 19. My son called me today immediately following the ceremony! He didnt think he'd get to keep his phone - and thinks he'll get it back parent's weekend. I wished I could've been there, but thankfully his roommate's parents were there. My son sounds great, is...

    Summer Squadron Assignments are Posted!

    Does anyone know the pattern for In Processing report times? For example I've seen an 8:15 report time for a Cobra and a 10:15 report time for a Flying Tiger. Do all Cobras report at 8:15 and all Flying Tigers at 10:15?

    I-Day Question

    Thanks, Wishful. Is this only for Colorado parents or all CO 2019 parents? Also, do you know if the parents will get to find out which flight DS is in on I Day before the final good bye? The portal only states the squadron.

    Appointee Tours

    Yes, Bailey - it was an amazing experience! Navigating the weather made it so much more exciting, ha ha. Wanted to find and meet you, but there were quite a few appointees - didn't want to ask everyone, "Are you Bailey?" We even caught the baseball the was cancelled the next day, toured Garden...

    Appointee Tours

    I just left a voice mail message on the 1-800 # on the appointee tour registration form. Can't believe this weather! I haven't been in snow like this on 20+ years!

    Torn between USAFA and USMA

    Congratulations on both of your appointments! They are both top notch - with West Point being the oldest SA- several of our Presidents graduated West Point. I don't know about USAFA eliminating a biology major, but approx. 70% of USAFA graduate with engineering degrees. USAFA is mostly known...

    When will they say "no"?

    Thank you, bailey - but that's the thing, don't know if he has a good shot of getting in, or if the MOC's just tell everyone they have an impressive resume! Yes, we are all most certainly thrilled for those getting appointed now, but then you wonder if we just need to be more patient or if it is...

    When will they say "no"?

    This example makes me feel we should "check up" on our DS application as to why (if he doesn't in the future) receive an appointment. Could it be a mistake? He was told by both senators and his Rep. that he is one of the best candidates they have seen. (no principal noms, just one competitive...

    My DS and I have been holding out from actually signing up on this forum - and I finally created an account so I can comment. Bailey - you are a dear and I am with you - I (and probably my DS) look forward to checking this forum daily. It has been so helpful, encouraging, informative...
