My son was just invited to an epic trip to Morrocco after graduation and before I day. The dates work and I am just wondering if there is any restriction to that travel?

My son was DQ'd in October. His coach stepped in and helped with everything, and on Dec 25th, after many hoops, extra medical appointments and the athletic liaison going in front of the medical board, he received a conditional appointment. On January 3rd, the coach reached out and told DS that...

In all my reading of LOA's/Appointments, I don't think I have seen this wording before. We were expecting it to be an LOA, as DS is still showing medically disqualified, although his coach did indicate his case has been reviewed and approved for appointent, but this reads more like an...

DS's coach called him two weeks ago and said his twice rejected waiver was approved and that, in fact, they are changing the (stupid) waiver policy about this particular injury and waiver. Meaning, kids that have this condition, and the same outcome, won't be disqualified. Anyway, the coach...

DS went to log in today, and his password isn't working. He was just in last night. Anyone else?

I have been reading lots of posts, but haven't found an answer. My son's coach told him to ask his admission's team for a "rebuttal form." He did, and they came back saying there is no such thing. We still have not received any correspondence for DodMERB about the waiver denial, so we can...

My son has been a recruit for USAFA over a year. This August he was diagnosed with osteochondritis dessicans, and had surgery. The surgery went way better than expected, as his body had already self repaired, so all they needed to do was take out the floating piece of cartilage. No crutches...

My son is a recruited athlete to USAFA. He is 6' .5" feet and 192 pounds. He received a letter saying he needed to be remeasured and submit those findings. Fine, but he also got a VERY weird letter from USAFA saying he was medically disqualified, but it did not list any reason. Like none...

Hi. I am not posting in DodMerb, because I think this is CFA related, but please move it there if that is the correct forum. UGHHHH and ACKKKK at the same time. For background, my older son is a C2C at USAFA and plays on a team as a recruited athlete. I say this just to provide context, that...

This was some of the best advice given to us, so I thought I would share it. Doolies will need to wear service blues EVERYWHERE they go off base on Parents Weekend. This includes hotel lobbies and restaurants. So, as much as you want to treat them to a great meal out and a fancy hotel room...

am looking to get a cake topper for DS's graduation. When people speak to him at USAFA, will he be referred as anything other than plebe, dirt, doolie , less than a human? LOL. I guess what I am asking is does he have a "rank " day one?

DS received his appointment in January, and immediately accepted. I am sure he doesn't care now, but it would be nice to have something other than the letter printed out from the portal. Have people received BFEs this year? I know it always is weird timing, and especially with admissions WFH...

How is this for a tease. DS went to school and then got an email from admissions there has been an update and to check portal. I frantically log in for him and still down for maintenance. I can't refresh fast enough!

Hi. My DS has completed and submitted every part of his application, save the evaluator interview. Last Thursday, my son's AF coach reached out to the boys missing pieces of the app and DS committed to getting everything in by Sunday, which he did. This includes all information from his HS...

DS did CFA today. BB Throw: worst event. 65 ft Pullups: 18 Shuttle Run: 8.4 Sit ups: 91 Push ups: 62 Mile: 6.22

Reviewing DSs nomination essays today, as he wants to submit them. Usually when we edit his work for school, or did, as a senior he doesn't ask for help anymore, we have to help him be more detailed . Now we are frantically helping him take out superfluous words. My goodness, 250 words...

Hi. My son received his "qualified" notification today. Does that combine both the medical and visual aspect of qualification? He had his medical exam two weeks ago and his visual exam one week ago. I searched before asking, btw. Thanks.
