I think something even as simple as not getting ahold of someone in the admissions office can lead to frustration if a potential candidate wants a question answered about the school or application process. While I can't speak to the other service academies, not being able to get ahold of...

Question about the security clearance form. My DS has never been employed. Does he just leave this section blank or does he have to account for the unemployment? He just turned 18 two months ago, and the form states not to list employment before his 18th birthday unless to provide a minimum...

Is there a firm deadline when the appointee kit is due? DS received an email that the assignment (dignity/respect courses) on EVERFI is due June 10, but what about the rest of the kit?

Is it recommended for cadets to have cash during BCT? Are wallets locked away with their cell phones or do cadets have access to their wallets? Just curious how much cash, if any, we should send with DS.

DS received the phone call from our MOC this morning notifying him of his appointment! We are in TX. DS is thankful and humbled. He was told a portal update this coming Monday. Good luck to everyone. I have read so many of your posts and I am pulling for everyone on this 2026 thread!

My son earned a Type 1 AFROTC scholarship during the first board this year. Zero varsity sports. He trained for and passed the physical fitness test though. His strength is academics (35 composite ACT, GPA of 103) and he chose a STEM major which is really what ROTC wants to see. I will...

Same! DS offered a Type 1 and this morning status shows "reboarded".

Does anyone know of appointments being offered yet for those with Presidential nominations? I only see senator/MOC on the Class of 2026 appointment list.

DS- Type 1, 35 ACT, 4.0 GPA, current class rank #2, Eagle Scout

DS was offered a Type 1-AFROTC:)

Thank you for sharing the ALO experience in your household. I don't know which is worse....interviewing and finding out it's not an acceptable interview due to an administrative error on admissions part...or can't even get a response from the ALO! But, I agree, this process sure is...

Update for any of those interested. Academy Admissions finally responded to DS. He was told his previously assigned evaluator ALO was an "administrative error." Now he has to re interview with the newly assigned evaluator ALO. DS is so frustrated and rightly fully so....he has already...

DS had his interview (via phone) with his evaluator ALO roughly two weeks ago. His candidate checklist has never updated and still shows ALO interview not received. We figured it takes time to update (as does everything else on the checklist). Today he noticed he is now assigned a different...

Thank you, Mr. Mullen. My son really appreciated your help. And as a mom, I personally want to thank you for helping the young men and women as they navigate the medical process. There are more cows than folks in our area. HaHa.

My son has to complete a remedial (echocardiogram). DoDMETS assigned him to a place 160 miles away from our city. We have decided that we will have our son complete the echo locally and not travel. Mr. Mullen (if you read this), or anyone else with knowledge on this issue, how do we go about...

Good evening. My son is currently applying to the USAFA. He was diagnosed with a "functional murmur" as a toddler. He was not required to follow up with a cardiologist and per his pediatrician it has resolved. Will he still be required to have an ECHO? If so, would it be smart to go ahead...
