Tall_man- I truly wish you all the best. I have been rooting for you, especially knowing the absolute competitive nature of Northern Virginia. I hope you continue your quest and never lose your desire to serve. This Nation needs more dedicated and honorable people like yourself.

I wish you all the best! I have joyfully followed you throughout this journey and I only hope you are happy and provided with the opportunity you deserve.

It means that you may still have a chance for an appointment…but it also means that you should really move out with a purpose on your plan B. Best wishes that all works out for the best!

As they say at Chick-Fil-A, “my pleasure!” I’m sure Dr Phil will be fine.

It is the USAFA class of 2026 application instructions (page 4): https://www.academyadmissions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Class-of-2026-Instructions-to-Candidates.pdf

I have met a few Army JAGs who did ROTC during law school. They were very busy, but a great way to learn how to be a superstar in time management. If you do not need a job during law school, then ROTC is doable. However, I always caution ROTC cadets who endeavor to branch into the JAGC that...

My recommendation is that your DS accept the appointment to USAFA today. Then, if things do change over the next few weeks, he can always politely inform admissions that his plans have changed and that he declines. The SAs expect this and have a plan for this. His acceptance of the...

So sorry to hear this. I was pulling for your DD. Best wishes for her and a very bright future. God does have a plan.

Still…better than a turn down 😁

I’m pulling for your son! Hopefully today will be a Good Friday for you and your DS.

Hi- I too have very small feet. I wear a woman’s 5 and I buy my boots from the AAFES online store. I usually get a Mens 4 and it fits fine (but I do wear very thick socks and use shoe inserts for more comfort). You can also order boots from Amazon and have her try them on - Amazon probably...

My son was selected to attend SS last year (albeit virtual) and he had initially been placed on the waitlist. I believe he was notified closer to the end of April. Best of luck to you!

As a female, my parents were both very concerned when I told them I wanted to join the Army. This was back in the mid 90’s so it was considered “peacetime” however it was still concerning to my parents. After I completed OBC and headed off to my first duty station, my parents came out to visit...

Thank you for the update. You are mature beyond your years to recognize that things you do today could adversely affect your health in the future. Take care of your body first and the rest of the pieces will fall into place. Best of luck to you!

Also, if you look at page 4 of your Instructions to Candidates packet, it states that “by April 21, Letters sent to candidates who have not been selected for appointment. Candidates who completed the full application will be informed of their admission status by this date.” Therefore, by 21...
