I joined this forum early in my junior year, with next to no knowledge regarding the academies. Over the past year and a half, the many experienced individuals on this forum have provided endless answers to endless questions. I think I speak on behalf of all of us on SAF when I say THANK YOU...

Hope everyone is doing well, I recently completed my USMA application, and only after I finished it did they take action on my medical status. Disclaimer: I've already taken both DoDMERB exams. Currently in my USMA portal, it says that my DoDMERB appointments are ready to be scheduled with...

Hello again SAF, I did it. Application is done. Med exams taken, nom apps in. But I have a question; for those of us that had the Nov 1st deadline, will we receive a (potential) offer of appointment first, rather than those with January deadlines, or does it not work that way? Do we have the...

Hello, I've been informed that my username for SAF shouldn't include my real name. Does anyone know how I can get it changed? Thank you.

Hello everybody, A bit of a bittersweet occurrence. My deadline for my USAFA file was Nov 1, meaning that my resume has already been turned in. However, I recently ran for Regional Vice President in my leadership organization to fill the role of the past VP who recently resigned. I'm curious as...

Good evening everyone, I finished my (first?) CFA, and submitted to USAFA, and it passed. I was wondering if I should ask my RC if the scores are sufficient for submission before actually submitting them. My mile time wasn't amazing, but apparently it passed (by USAFA's standards). Does anyone...

Hello all, This is hard to write, as it's honestly just embarrassing. I missed one of my Senator's nomination application deadlines because I mixed up the due date. So at this point, I've applied for my MOC, and my other state Senator, and will apply for VP. My question is, how "fatal" is this...

Hello again everyone, I recently took and submitted my CFA and sent it to USAFA (and passed :biglaugh:). I'm a bit confused as how to transfer these scores to USMMA, USMA and USNA. I've heard it's automatically done by USAFA (which I doubt) and I've also heard I have to email admissions. Does...

Hello again everyone, I had a question regarding my CFA submission. My CFA administrator submitted my scores a day after I took the test (test taken the 24th, submitted on the 25th). Attached below I have a picture of what my portal is showing for the CFA. Does this mean that I passed; it's...

Hello again all, I have a question regarding the West Point Phys Ed SOE contact. Is the contact that I enter the same person that West Point requires to administer my CFA? Or can I have my PE contact be one person, and have someone else administer my CFA? Thank you all in advance.

Hey everyone, sorry for the redundant topic. I've been prepping for the CFA for a while and just want to know where I stack up, and what people think about my scores. I'm male. Bball throw: 75 ft Pull Ups: 17 Shuttle: 8.9 Crunches: 90 Push Ups: 62 Mile: 7:46 I'm still working to improve and...

Hope everyone is doing well. As most of us know, the application deadline is approaching. I have yet to submit my CFA due to my mile time scores. I have never been a great long distance runner, but I'm well aware I need to improve to make it into the academy. That being said, my mile time is...

Hope you all are doing well, I am a HS senior applying to USNA. I know an important part of the application is communication with my BGO, however I'm not sure where to find their contact information. If someone could help me out with this it would be much obliged. Thanks in advance.

Hello all, One of my evaluators asked me when the deadline to turn in his evaluation was, and I couldn't find it in my portal. Does anyone know the answer to his question? Thanks.

This past week I was fortunate enough to be granted the opportunity to attend the Naval Academy Summer Seminar as well as the Air Force Academy Summer Seminar. My dad and I decided that I was going to attend both. I understand this it's going to be a challenging couple of weeks. That being said...

I'm beginning to schedule my classes for senior year. I consulted my ALO about which classes would be better than others in terms of preparedness for the academies. He told me that the academies cannot see my 7th and 8th semester transcripts, and that I should take the ones that are the most...

Hello, I have been in a religious leadership organization (BBYO) for a little over a year now. In that time, I've held the chapter secretary position, and two separate chapter vice president positions. However, I've come across a fork in the road. For my 6 months as chapter secretary, I was...

Simple question: is it inappropriate to write an email to my alo wishing him happy holidays? Relating to this, how should I address my alo in emails? Lastly, when should I email my alo?

I'm a junior in high school just beginning my application. I've seen lots of questions and different discussions involving the portal. My question is, as a junior, should there be anything in my portal? Because right now it's relatively blank. Also, about summer seminar, does the application for...

As a junior in high school, I'm preparing to begin interviews with MOCs, and later on (hopefully) ALOs. I wanted to know besides grades, sports, and activities, what are some appropriate things I can talk about in my resume/interview? What I had in mind especially is the fact that my dad is a...
