    Air Force Academy Application

    On the review page, before submission, it says my application is 99% complete, not 100%. It doesn't look like I missed anything, is this normal?

    SLE 2021 blackboard login

    I logged in last night. Your email won't work for the password if it doesn't include a number. I requested a new password link and was allowed in. I saw the assignment, but could not access it last night because it's too early.

    Father retired military (presidential nomination)

    The 1910 SAT seems a bit low. The 2020 is better, but still not blowing the hinges off. Perhaps the student that received the appointment had a better SAT, or club involvement, robotics, CAP, JROTC, science fair, internships, recommendation letters, etc. Also, remember that the ALO interview...

    Father retired military (presidential nomination)

    I had a Presidential nom and was able to get my appointment for USMA in late August and USAFA in early November. This was a huge blessing because one of the state senators refused to interview military dependent kids stationed in the state if their parents weren't residents. Although, the...

    How many other appointees still have an active duty military parent(s)?

    It's been an interesting process, from figuring out if I can interview in the state where we're stationed but not residents, to determining my HOR, etc. My parents are set to PCS right after my graduation and before I-day...never a dull moment. Anyone else relate?

    USAFA "Home of Record" significance?

    My parents are FL residents (no tax), but we're currently stationed in a state that taxes. I put my home of record as the state where we're stationed because that is how they're going to calculate my initial transportation reimbursement to the academy. That being said, I am a FL resident like...

    Best Eats for your assignment

    My Dad had his last dinner before his I-day at Red Robbin and wants to continue that tradition with me. I've never been to RR, but am definitely looking forward to it. My Mom (who grew up in Denver) wanted to take me and my little brother to Casa Bonita, but my Dad is afraid I might get food...

    Boy's State

    Just to update, I wore my AFJROTC uniform as did another cadet, and we were both selected (out of 3 total chosen). You might be right about the Civil Air Patrol uniform; although, I've never heard of it backfiring.

    Boy's State

    If you are in AFJROTC or Civil Air Patrol wear your uniform to the interview. Make sure it looks sharp! If you get selected to attend, run for office, or at least try for a leadership position.

    I have a few forms in my Appointee Kit that have been completed and are still waiting to be processed since 3/9. I was wondering if others are experiencing something similar? Thank you.
