Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it’s more than just pass/fail. My DS’s ALO recommended to try and max every area of the CFA. He implied your CFA score converts to points towards your WCS. So my DS basically practiced most of the CFA in order every other day at 100% effort. And...

Is he a recruited athlete? If not, I’d plan hearing in March/April, based on what I’ve heard. And congratulations on WP!

Me understanding is that once you have it sent it (for the CFA), you are done unless they specifically ask to see another score. For the ACT/SAT, you can keep sending in your scores, even after your application is closed out (they will just update your WCS).

These stories are great motivators. Thank you for sharing.

I maybe wrong, but it’s not just pass/fail. I *believe*, for the AFA, the CFA. (As long as it’s above the minimum), translates to a number of points towards your WCS, it’s not all that much, but when the cut line is to the 100th decimal point, one pull up could be the difference. This is the...

Remember, you now (as of last year) have 2 different ALOs. The first will be a Mentor ALO, they are there to answer questions and help you thru the process. They will NOT interview you. They also have many other candidates, and my impression is that their response is proportional to the amount...

Thanks for all the advice. And appreciate the calls to wait and to 'calm down'-- Skismuggs- I don't see a due date, only this -- You have met the deadline to continue in the application process. My DS doesn't show up under the Mentor ALO's "aloweb" anymore, so he can't verify the due date...

It was explained to me that everyone from the AFA graduates with a Bachelors of Science degree, so I’d totally agree with the above posters.

Pima- Thank you very much for shedding light on the process. Your information is invaluable! And appreciate the additional advice. Yes, ROTC is complete and he should meet this board (results are public Oct 12, I believe). The mentor ALO implied that there is only one board a month, and...

Flieger83- You posted about the same the same that I did- Thank you. You are a wealth of information. He’s emailed twice (10 and 3 days ago). No reply. Maybe we wait a few more days try and reach out again? Then elect to call the AFA? Will that still allow him to meet the first board...

I so do appreciate the advice. Again, I’ve gleaned a lot from this forum and truly appreciate everyone’s input. My DS’s mentor ALO has been wonderful and encouraging and very forthright. And by being forthright, he made it clear that my DS is right on the ‘cut line’, and his best bet is to try...

So true about the Marathon! Yes, he’s DoDMERB qualified. And he has a Presidential Nomination. Quite frankly, from what I read about the amazing kids on this site.....I personnally believe he’s right on the bubble. Basically 31 ACT, a few varsity sports, a few volunteer hours, set up a...

Ok, so my DS has everything complete (all checkmarks done). He was assigned an evaluator ALO 10 days ago, and he sent an email introducing himself and requested an interview. He followed up 3 days ago and hasn’t heard any sort of reply from either email. This ALO also does not have a phone...

FYI- my DS waited about a week after 3 checkmarked items were complete, then he was given notification to start the DodMRB process. Also, one of his buddies is about the same pace as my DS, and he never got an email from the AFA. He went to the DoDmets site and established an account and his...
