But I'm no parent. I'm the student. Can I still join the group?

I have also been appointed to the air Force academy and I am in district ca-18 so I was wondering if you wanted to meet up.

Are you to mean that there are a lot of incoming cadets who are conceited and condescending about their supposed impressive accomplishments? I assumed that a lot of cadets were humble.

Do you know how many students usually join the group?

thank you for your concern. Maybe I am not familiar enough with the facebook groups, but i don't completely understand what makes a facebook group for the academy so different from a facebook group for a civilian college? Typically, with civilian colleges, it is only the students that are...

Is there a Facebook page for appointed individuals?

Just curious, how comfortable or uncomfortable are the Air Force uniforms and what are all the different uniforms called?

If I get appointed and accepted into a civilian college, can I enroll and pay the fee for the civilian college and accept the offer of appointment at the same time? Also, right before school starts, can I choose to go to the academy rather than the civilian college or choose the civilian...

You are definitely correct. However, it is still a point of interest for me in how these websites will rank colleges and it the methodologies they use are quite peculiar.

So then where would the primary disparity of the salary differences on Forbes come from? If I remember correctly, It states that the mid-career salary for USAFA graduates is 115k while for USNA it is 126K, an 11k difference. Thanks for the analysis and factual evidence to help explain the...

Just another question that I have. Why the average salary for USAFA graduates lower than that of USNA and WP?

Why is USAFA consistently ranked lower on many sites such as Forbes and Usnews? Also, why is the acceptance rate for USAFA always higher than WP and USNA? Is it because USAFA is a newer academy and is not as widely known? I view the three academies equally prestigious and equally difficult but...

Yes, I have heard back. Well i did not receive an email but it showed up in my portal.

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely contact my Senator to inform them of the LOA. Will the LOA greatly increase my chances of receiving a Nomination? Also, what are the chances that my District Representative will agree to change my nomination from West point to USAFA? Will I need to do...

I have recently received a LOA from USAFA but I have not yet had an interview with my senator or even been contacted by my senator for an interview. The senator said that they have not yet made a decision on who they will choose for an interview. I have applied to VP and have not heard back. I...

Thank you all for the thoughtful and comprehensive responses. So I guess many individual's mothers also initially were extremely against the academies but later on learned more about the academies and began to understand the benefits? Chockstock, what in particular should I be contemplating on...

I am a current applicant for the service academies. My father is indifferent about me applying to the academies and helps me with the application. However, my mother, on the other hand, is completely against me attending any of the service academies. She tells me that I will have an extremely...
