Oh ok. I see, thank you. I’ll have now ask my mid for a copy of the email that was sent then 🤣 anything to brighten aging grandparents whose health is quickly declining.

Where can I find the list of names that made this honor list? I was able find Commandant’s list but nothing else. I don’t want to ask my mid, but wanted to show aging grandparents their grandson’s accomplishments. Thank you.

Last year when my son went through rebuttal process, he had to fill this form out. I am very confident that it was given by the admissions office (USAFA)

Thank you. I read this too and my DS also sent an email that was in the PTR packet but no response yet. Zyrtec is technically not a “prescription” but OTC so that’s where my question was…

Anyone know if Zyrtec is allowed? Is this something they can buy at the medical Brigade? I know it’s OTC but if it is taken daily for seasonal allergies (documented on DODMERB) can it be brought along with a doctors note(prescription)?

Is the BFE just a blue binder with an official appointment letter inside? My DS received that before he even accepted his appointment but is he supposed to receive something else in the mail after he's accepted the appointment on his USNA portal? Like a handbook or anything? Thank you.

Are Plebes allowed to receive packages during basic training? When my DS did CVW last November, his host advised him to have most of his things shipped ahead of time so it doesn't have to carried around on I-Day. I am not sure how accurate this information is, anyone know? Also, my DS bought a...

Get 3 awesome letters of recommendations and you can reuse it for congressional nominations! Best of luck. We just went thru this process 12 months ago.

Do you recommend the QuantiFERON-TB blood test over skin tes (PPD) and if so, it looks we can just get it done at a local lab without a doctor's order. Trying to see which is better option.

Absolutely will get it done before I-day. My DS is all up today but based on the information from last year he’ll still need to get another shot for polio. Looks like Tuberculin test is required. Thinking of getting that done. Is that for every candidate?

My DS is filling out the body alteration sheet. It requires a witness signature. Who qualifies as a witness? He has read the sheet 2x and there is no information on the witness signature part. Thank you. Also he will be going to out local police station tomorrow for the police record check...

Hello! After a long journey, my DS has accepted his appointment! Whohoo! He will soon turn in the initial forms he received in his portal but I have a question about the vaccination requirements. Has anyone received that information? I have already printed out last year's requirements to get an...

Hi! My son will be completing his 4 forms soon. I have heard a lot of confusion about police clearance. Would you mind sharing how you went about it to get it done? Thank you.

My DS did MCT and I had to call countless offices to see who had the capability to do it in their office. Found one eventually, but most pulmonology office referred out to hospitals.

He already received a conditional appointment from USAFA so I am not sure this applies to him, although I must say the entire nomination process confuses me. All I know is that he received 3 nominations to USAFA and had a green check next to nominations back in early December. The only thing...

yes we are humbly learning to respect each waiver process as a separate entity. Now an easy lesson if I can be honest, but a necessary one for sure!

To clarify, My DS received an appointment to USNA! Yay!! We are still celebrating over this! This rebuttal process is for USAFA. AFROTC also denied but haven’t given us the option to rebut yet. Thank you.

Capt MJ, Thank you for your advice. Wheneve I read your response, I feel my heart rate slowing down and a sense of calmness takes over. I wish you lived next door so I can just run over and thank you. 😁 Yes we will take it step by step and see what new and stronger evidence we can provide. At...

Hi. My DS’ medical waiver got denied and we were notified that we can initiate a rebuttal process, and of course we will. I have few questions: 1-Who will review the documents during the rebuttal process? Same people that just denied the waiver or is there a committee dedicated for a rebuttal...
