    Appointments left?

    Agreed with Chirstcorp; my DS applied to AFA (only SA he applied) and several other universities, plus AFROTC scholarship as well. AFA is his #1 choice; if he had gotten the appointment in December, it would save him and us (myself & Dad) lot of headache so he didn't have to write many essays...

    My chances with principal nom

    You can contact your USAFA admission counselor to see if you are 3Q, albeit with your current ACT scores. If you are then you stand a very good chance with the principle nom because you are on the top of the MOC nom slate.

    Accepting my appointment

    I suggest future appointees use email to send pdf file of your sign forms. You can scan in your signed form (used a sharpie fine point pen so that signatures/dates are very clear), convert the file to pdf then email to the email address on the form. My DS used this method and it shows up on...

    Alternate Nom from MOC

    DS got the call yesterday from our Congressman that he got the appointment to USAFA. Sure enough, this morning we got the auto message to check the portal regarding appointment. We did not expected to hear from the USAFA until March because DS is an alternate nom. What a pleasant surprise...

    Alternate Nom from MOC

    Thanks for your inputs. I told my DS that I am truly proud of him for his desire to serve our country, and he should know that if hes does not get an appointment it's not a reflection on him but it's the way the selection process is so subjective on many variables. Life is unfair indeed.

    DoDMERB status: Remedial?

    You should receive a letter from DoDMERB that will ask you to send to a certain address. I would send it myself to ensure its arrival and send it as "certified mail" so you can track. Beside, your parent has to sign a release with the doctors to obtain copies of your records (and pay them fees...

    Member of Congress's number of cadets at the Air Force Academy

    My DS just got a letter from our Congressman yesterday saying he's being nominated as an alternate. He had the interview with this MOC review panel two weeks ago. My DS only applies to USAFA. We don't know how many alternates and how many available spots this MOC has at USAFA this year. So...
