Hello! Could someone with experiences regarding one officer position or both talk a little bit about them? I attended Branch Week again this year and still had a tough time distinguishing between the two. Thank you!

Hi All, I've been on this forum for several years now. I didn't have any support from family getting into West Point, so I applied to all 5 on my own and can speak to those experiences if anyone has any questions. West Point was the service academy I didn't get into on my first attempt, but I...

Hi all, It's been a few years since I've really been active on this forum, but I used to browse it a lot when I was working towards my appointment. I went to a junior military college for prep and am now a Yuk at USMA. I am a Business Management/Language double major, have passed all the...

Does anyone have any experience here with STAP I? I am doing STAP I and I was wondering if I'm allowed to leave on the weekends, and as a rising Yuk, could I wear civvies/cadet cas? How does laundry work? Formations? Thank you!

Members of the SAF, I would like to say thank you. The amount of help that members and moderators have given me throughout the SA application process cannot be of into words. I only began putting forth effort into learning more about the academies in my freshman year of high school, and I will...

Hi everyone! I received an email recently regarding an appointee tour with three possible dates for March-April. However, my email didn't say much - it just gave me a "yes" or "no" to click. I'm afraid clicking anything will sign me up instead of leading me to a page with more information...

Hi everyone! I am set to attend the AEP on March 30th. I am only able to fly out there, but my parents might both be unable to make the trip down with me. I can definitely pay the extra price to fly out to the nearest airport (New London or New Haven, etc.), but my mom is really concerned about...

Hi everyone! I just received this email from my RC, even though I did not receive a 3Q letter on my portal. You are fully qualified and right now we are waiting to fill out the class. Unfortunately, you do not have a spot right now. However as you are fully qualified with a nomination, if a...

On my USMA Portal, it has 3 green check marks for my nominations, but I have only received a nomination from one senator and one congressman. My senator nom is marked Oct. 25, and my congressional nom is marked Nov. 28. But, it looks as if there is a duplicate - I am not sure if this means...
