Thank you for posting this. The waiting is hard especially when hoping for a Colorado nomination for USAFA.

Still nada from Colorado too. :(

Anybody received word from Rep. Buck (CO-4) or CO Senators? (Specifically for USAFA but curious overall for all of the SAs)

Bring with you. You turn them in at the check-in.

Homemade brownies were appreciated.

According to my DS, his ACT from September shows up in his portal. Interesting how it seems to be hit or miss.

***** my kid survived a school shooting where a bullet went through the wall inches above his head.

Homemade Philly cheese steak with bacon. https://kitchendivas.com/slow-cooker-easy-philly-cheese-steak-sandwiches/

My DS is a SA C/O 2028 hopeful. He LOVES bacon and will tolerate hot dogs with ketchup only (same with hamburgers). He is finishing up his PPL and this is what we were shared when he soloed. His instructor framed the shirt back with their photo and a message with date, plane, airport, and an...

My son also went as a Junior in the spring. He would like to go again and see/experience the Yard in the fall semester. My DH would also like to attend and learn more. Is there a process to request a second CVW? The first one came out of the blue- DS did not have an open application of any...

I've heard Puerto Rico is beautiful this time of year. :) Honestly, I was surprised my DS's appointments were about 1-1.5 hours away but Puerto Rico would be a whole other issue!

Likewise!!!!!! My DS is a year behind, knee-deep in the application stage so I keep following along. We are rooting for you!!!!

@severn We are all waiting for a Haiku about this post!

Anyone else get an error on the candidate portal this evening? DS gets this when he logs in which is concerning because he just sent out the SOEs. Password reset doesn't work either. It's like his whole account vanished? "Login credentials not correct, or user not found. Accounts will be...

My DS was a drag at the CVW last weekend and I wanted to send a thank you to any current members or parents on this forum. He had a great time and really enjoyed the CVW. He went in with his heart set on a different SA but the CVW moved USNA up on his list for sure. If anyone is questioning...

What test do they do for depth perception? Is it the one with the fly and the groups of 4 buttons? Thank you.

My DS had not opened an application of any kind to USNA. He received an email invitation out of the blue. So I think it really is a mystery only known to those in the dark abyss of Academyland.

Thank you. Does anyone know if Viral Rhabdomyolysis will mean he is automatically DQ? I want to prepare him now if he has no chance at his dream.

Hello, I have read that a history of rhabdomyolysis is a DQ for a SA. Is this only exertional rhabdo such as associated with CrossFit and other extreme training? My DS was diagnosed with rhabdo once in 5th grade after flu B. No complications or reoccurrence and is now a Varsity athlete. How...

Hello all. My son has accepted a CVW invite for middle of April and just wondering if any other parents on here will be there also. He is more focused on USAFA so this seems like a great opportunity to see something else. I'm not sure how or why he was even invited but happy for this...
