I was wondering...does pre-PRK vision matter in whether you are qualified to be a pilot or not? Both of my eyes are -6.00 which is FAR below the vision standard and am kind of banking on PRK to bring me up to vision standards.

Would anyone be willing to share about their time in the service after their respective academy? What did you enjoy most about your job, what was something you wish you could have done differently, what will you miss most, do you have any regrets, why Navy over Air Force, why Army over Navy, et...

Early Action results are due to start coming out within the next couple days, so I thought it’s about time USCGA has their own Appointment Thread for the Class of 2023. HOW TO ADD A NAME: This is self-reporting, self-updating and DIY. Mods don't update the list (kindly posters occasionally do...

I was wondering if USNA, USMA, and USAFA held contemporary church services? The Protestant service I went to at NASS was very formal (with hymns etc.) and unlike the church I go to at home.

What are the pros and cons to going to The Citadel versus going to one of the federal Service Academies? The end goal for me is to commission as an officer in the US Military and live a life of service. However, I believe that the means to the end is also important and am trying to figure out...

DM me if you want to be added to a USCGA 2023 “support group”.

If not qualified to be a pilot in the Air Force, I would like to become an Special Investigations Officer. Of the two, would a major in Behavioral Sciences or Legal Studies be more beneficial? Is there another major that would be better than these two?

I know the big three SAs offer free PRK to those who qualify in their 2/c year. Does USCGA (and USMMA) offer their cadets/mids free PRK as well?

I am honored to have received a Nomination as a Competitive Alternate. However, this means that as long as the Principal Nominee is qualified, I won’t get an appointment through this slate. How difficult is it to be selected from the NWL, and about how many are selected from the list each year...

I know that it's good etiquette to update your recommenders and anyone else who's helped in the college admissions process in any way on your status of admission. Do I need to do this for every college I applied to, or should I only do it for the school I end up choosing? I don't want it to...

So if my current congressman loses his election in November, how will that affect my nomination process?

I just noticed on the application that it gives you an option to request CFA scores from other Academies (like if you took it at NASS). However, would they accept it even though there is no video footage of the pushups and pull-ups? That was the only reason I was planning on retaking the CFA but...

My first nomination interview date has been set. Any tips or suggestions regarding anything about the interview that has helped you or your DS or DD? Thanks.

Does USAFA send out LOAs as well? Just out of pure curiosity (I know that the goal is an Appointment, not an LOA). I’ve heard news of USMA and USNA sending LOAs out already. (If you have information on USCGA sending out LOAs, please provide that as well.)

I know all SAs and SMCs have an element of a "Fourth Class System" where Freshmen are put under high stress situations (memorizing lines from a books, squaring meals, getting yelled at, etc.), and that is something I believe I could handle because I know there are actual reasons behind them; My...

Will we receive notice of our status in the mail? On the website it says “Posted Date” and “Mailed Date”.

I was just wondering how strict the DoDMERB exam was. I was not able to read past 20/25 on the eye chart on my right eye, yet it says on the Naval Academy DoDMERB DQ pdf that vision not correctable to 20/20 was a dq. Is this something they will let slide? I am almost certain I could have read...
