For those who didn't get the grey popup box to indicate interest in SLE (my son didn't either), this was in his portal today. SLE Information (1 Feb 2023) - If you are selected for SLE, you will recieve an email with login credentials to the SLE portal. If you did not select "I'm Interested"...

We had the exact same issue. No grey button appeared as promised. @Capt MJ we tried different browsers and cleared cache. I guess we will just have to wait until we hear more.

I applaud your attention to detail. I'd suggest a LinkedIn search as a starting point. If you google "First Name Last Name LinkedIn" as your search string, it might be a start. In the absence of any other information, "Sir" is a perfectly appropriate way to address someone to show respect.

Thank you for the helpful details @TX_USA. Best of luck to you.

I would suggest posting this in the DoDMERB forum. Mr. Mullen is the best person to advise on this as he is the expert.

I think this is a very good explanation for why the jump might have occurred in the SAT scores.

@landlover we are in a similar situation in that our address will fall in a newly created congressional district for the Nov '22 election. Based on @Capt MJ 's sounds advice, we reached out to our current MOC's office (in what is currently our district). They were incredibly helpful and pointed...

@backpacking2026 - please see this website https://www.academyadmissions.com/requirements/medical/examination/ This is the official line from USAFA. This website states:

If you were found to be medically qualified by DODMerb then it has a validity of 2 years from the date of that determination (unless something has changed with regard to your medical condition). But the CFA needs to be retaken if you are a reapplicant.

This right here is why this forum is a goldmine! An oasis of civility and support in a universe of small-mindedness. Thank you to all the moderators and long time contributors who are so generous with their time and knowledge.

@nicksand18 - in addition to reaching out to USAFA, since the VP Nom is a long shot, if you are truly passionate about attending USAFA, it might be worthwhile playing the long game and looking into establishing residence in the US for a future attempt (if needed).

The USAFA website states:

Thanks for the great information @Staffer!

@thebluffs - My suggestion would be drill down to a specific moment that you are talking about. Narrowing it down to a specific incident that showcases your desire to serve and what motivates it will allow you to showcase your strengths effectively. Broad generalizations or skipping across more...

It has been very interesting to follow this thread. Lots of great opinions and food for thought. As the parent of a junior who is starting the process, my hope is that while societal changes continue to occur, the desire to serve will continue to stay in fashion. It may rise and fall temporarily...

"For the Class of 2026, as of November 16, 2021, the Common App reported a 13% increase in the number of college applicants and a 22% jump in the total applications submitted. In short, while there were more applicants this year, these applicants also applied to more schools than ever before."...

Thank you @DomerDad.
