    Air Station Visit

    As I’m sure you aware keep that line of communication open with the Coach because there could be an additional visit as an athlete to shadow (bean sprout) a player and team. I know my local Air Station, Air Station Atlantic City allowed visits for students, pre Covid, who have accepted their...

    Air Station Visit

    Due to Covid restrictions I doubt you will be permitted to visit but it’s worth a try! Next year she can apply for AIM to get a good look of the Academy life.

    Coast Guard Officer v. Enlisted

    Not 100%...but worth investigating if someone will be in that position. If I could guess I would say 2 years.

    Coast Guard Officer v. Enlisted

    ekb1398 is spot on! Don’t forget the enlistment extension after “A” school! Gonna have to knock the burnt meatloaf off the tray before your knocking on narc subs.

    Coast Guard Officer v. Enlisted

    A lot of truth and reality in this thread! I’ve seen a few “Action Jackson’s” put their name on the shortest “A” school list after a month in the scullery.

    Coast Guard Officer v. Enlisted

    Personally I think it’s two different worlds. Research both sides and have him draw his own conclusion by weighing the pros vs cons. I am prior active duty enlisted and I have a child at the Academy now. PM me if I can be of any help.

    Question for Athletes

    FWIW I don't think Academies really care who is recruiting the applicants. I can assure you they are not saying "We need to offer an appointment to this kid or they are going to FSU"

    Question for Athletes

    Short answer....Nope...that means they want you and they got you. But until they want you and got you (offer & acceptance) they will probably tell you to do what you need to do. And waiting and dragging out a scholarship may lead to less money. My daughter wasted no time in notifying the...

    Question for Athletes

    Have your daughter accept and even sign whatever offer she feels will be best for her. If and when the Academy offers her a spot she can rescind her offer for the other school. My daughter opted not to mention her application to the Academy because Coaches know "if" accepted they will most...
