    USAFA Class of 2028 Offers of Appointment Self-Updating List

    It's random depending which poster decides when to update on the list of appointments. This list has nothing to do with when the appointments were received. Keep in mind, most that receive an appointment don't even update on this list.

    Can a moderator tell me, why is it when I post, I get a message that says “awaiting moderator approval?” TIA

    Advice needed

    My son was a direct report to USAFA but if it weren’t for the “preppies” who came with a year of expertise, knowledge, and motivation, I’m not sure how things would have turned out for him. The preppies seem to lead the way of incoming classes. You and your son could look at it as a leadership...

    Current State of the Academy

    Lol. Take away from my statement what you want. I said nothing negative. It happened exactly the way the OP described in their post. And it will prob be executed in similar fashion in the future if current leadership get their way. It's nowhere near the way it should happen. Also, planning such...

    Although it didn't happen. The event itself was canceled but the Doolies were still recognized.

    Current State of the Academy

    My C2C completely agrees with you!!!! He is VERY disappointed overall! He said they were told any Doolie that shows up for Rec, passes- unless they are drunk! Like, WTH

    A move to Colorado Springs

    Your cadet may NOT have two weekend passes a month. When my cadet was a doolie, there were months that went by that they were not allowed past the black iron gates. It is squadron and sometimes class dependent.

    USAFA Waiting Page C/O 2028

    I have posted many times that the last three years the large number of appointments have been around March 17th. My son received his on March 17th of 2021. I work in a high school and each year it seems at least one student gets an appointment to USAFA, not athlete related. They have received...

    Watching it get real

    It's my understanding, if you show up without a required vaccine, they will give it to your cadet the day they report! So, you can space out some shots now or your cadet can get numerous shots all at one time, as well as a blood draw.

    First Large Group Appointments

    The last few years the large drop of appointments has been around St. Patrick's Day. My C2C received his on St. Patty's Day.

    HS Freshman

    I will add- the spring of his Junior year in High school, was when it was Covid and classes became online. He used that flexibility to practice for the CFA. He is not a strong runner. He tested for the CFA in June and maxed out on most of the events except running. He was lucky he had the time...

    HS Freshman

    My DS looked a few summers ahead at the congressman and senator websites where the questions were posted to apply for a nomination. Fortunately for him, no one had been voted out of office by the time he needed to apply so he was ready with his application essays/answers. In addition to sports...

    Proper Attire for Nomination Interview

    I will never forget my DS wearing a suit jacket purchased from a thrift store, tie, nice shirt, and workout shorts with no shoes. Lol. His interviews were Zoom due to Covid (Fall 2020). It was so funny to see him sitting there like that. He's now a C2C at USAFA.

    Recognition Weekend question

    Are you able to wait and see your cadet for the 96 hours of leave? That will be after Recognition and before Graduation.

    How long to wait for appointment??

    My son submitted his candidate kit in August 2020. His ALO interview was the end of August 2020. He completed his CFA June 2020. He received a congressional nomination in November 2020. He heard NOTHING until the morning of March 17, 2021 (St. Patrick's Day)! He received an email to check his...
