    WP Appointment Presentation on Senior Awards ceremony

    Not forcing! Giving a different perspective (to the comments of drawing attention to themselves) and HIGHLY encouraging.

    WP Appointment Presentation on Senior Awards ceremony

    I explained to DS that the presentation isn't all about him. It's his first way to give back to West Point by being a "face of West Point" and an encouragement to those who will follow him in the Long Gray Line. If it weren't for the recruitment/advertising/promotion of others like him, he would...

    R-Day & CBT FAQ 2019

    FYI As of 4/3/2019 23:27, the link at http://westpoint.edu/parents to the R-Day and CBT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 2019 document (6 pages) has an extra / so it returns an access denied message. The correct link is...

    Class of 2023 Boot memo out

    Just visited USMA PX today; glad DS tried them on as we'd have purchased a size too large. They did not have my son's size (9.5E) in the Bates and one of the ladies (Ms. Pinky) confirmed the Bates had no estimated time/date of restocking. She also said cadets would be issued the DLATS as their...

    USMA Class of 2023 Appointment Thread

    Only 3 LOEs were given in our state by our RC, and no LOAs (at least at the time of MOC interviews). The LOE, which NOT every applicant receives, was definitely not pointless. In our state, LOEs are valued by MOCs and, in the case of my DS, gave him an extra nomination. The authorized overnight...

    Supe's Message on USAFA Portal

    Hi, It's been about a week since my DS logged into his USAFA portal, and I've been out of state so not on the forum, but there's a new message on his USAFA portal from the Superintendent requesting every USAFA 2023 candidate and appointee watch a ~2 min video. After a quick glance, I don't see...

    USAFA Class of 2023 Appointment Thread

    Message from USAFA? I guess I don't understand. You can still visit USAFA on their Discover or Explore Tours (https://www.academyadmissions.com/visit-the-academy/escorted-tours/). Some might not receive notice of appointments until April, or later. I think if a visit was make-or-break on...

    Significance of Civil Air Patrol on application

    CAP is an amazing "secret" which is becoming more well-known. We are an AF family and didn't know much about it until our then-12 yo joined. Now 18, DS has had amazing experiences, including soaring in gliders, leading a flight of Royal Air Force Air Cadets in the UK, and learning under the...

    ROTC help!

    Which branch of service? My DS had a PE teacher administer the test, fill out and sign the paperwork. Then, depending on the service, the PE teacher either followed a link to upload the scores/document, or my DS typed in the scores and uploaded the signed document (We use TurboScan to take...
