This helps! Thank you. Can you expand on the "lockers" comment?

I'm a class of 22 new parent and am trying to get a handle on exactly how all of the mail works at USAFA - packages (by all carriers) as well as letters and overnight mail. I have a number of relatives that have sent or want to send packages and have asked what the best (aka fastest and most...

Hoodlum 15 - thanks for the heads up. DH and I were trying to plan our day around staying together so that we both could participate in the expected call. Our day just become a lot simpler with your update. Wish that info had been widely distributed - I'm sure many other BCT families are eagerly...

Thank you to everyone for the responses. I've shared them with DS whose initial reaction was "Well, my goal was to achieve rockstar status anyway - now I have another reason to reach the goal." He knows it's not a given, but it's good to know that there is a slim possibility to make it work.

You make some great points. In my case - we live in the Denver area (no, we didn't move here to be close to DS - we've been here 20+ years) and, as strange as it might seem, I'm just interested in the experience of A-Day. If we are able to make contact with DS that day, all the better. But...

This is great! Thank you so much

Well (obviously) it's not a funeral - although that's good to know. We have had family tickets to the Masters for over 40 years. They are my parents' tickets and will disappear when my mother (97) passes away (dad died several years ago). We get together as a family there every other year - it's...

I'll preface this with the fact that my former Army Ranger husband answered this question with "NFW" - but he also didn't attend an SA so I thought I'd go ahead and ask the "experts". How exactly does the leave process work? Is there even a possibility of such a thing as a 4*? We have the...

Thanks for the quick responses!

Class of 2022 parent here - could someone give me a rundown of A-day activities including a general time table. We are a Colorado family so we're likely to attend for the experience and would like to plan ahead. Also, nothing on the AFA calendar that I've looked at says "A-day" - exactly what...

Everything you say is absolutely correct. Another person who posted commented that "you never know who you are competing against" - which is another way to define "crap shoot". I'm not saying there is NO rhyme or reason - I'm saying that you never know what variables are in play at the moment...

DS went from CPR to "Turned Down for USNA" status yesterday. That wording seems unique based on what I have read here - not sure what that means other than that's what his admissions officer chose to type into his status field. Fortunately he has an appointment to USAFA and NROTC-MO for VMI -...
