Although with a much happier ending I hope!

I'm in a similar situation because the USAFA was what made me decide to go for an academy to begin with, and it was my choice until a visit to USNA a couple of years ago made me all confused. I was lucky enough to get appointments to both, but now my mother is leaning USNA because my older...

I'd say the fact that you posted this question here tells you where your mind is lol. Mildly kidding though. I kind of wish this site had a generic "All academy" catch all area for our questions like this, and others that apply to all academies, but probably after a few years there'd be...

Since you mentioned that you aren't a traditional Just Out of High School applicant, you may not have an answer to this, but I'm wondering what other school options you might have been considering (other academies, regular schools) and how you chose between those options. I'm in a very lucky...

You weren't responding to me but thank you for making this post. I'm deciding between USAFA and USNA, and this is a nice comparison even if the other school was USMA and not USNA.

Congratulations to your son. Stanford is a great school and I'm sure he has a bright future! If his goal is to serve, Stanford has an Air Force ROTC program that he could look into joining at San Jose State, or Officer Training School after he graduates. I will say though that I'm not sure...

It was fun, but between upcoming competitions and general schoolwork, I can't justify it to myself. Plus, hopefully it will give someone who hasn't been a chance to go. It was definitely a great experience, and one that honestly changed my "USAFA or bust" middle school dream to more of a...

I also have an appointment and got an invite. I thought it might be a mistake, but maybe it's also a "make up your mind" kind of thing lol I did NASS and CVW last spring too.

I've thought before that it would be cool if there was a section on here where people could share their stats and outcomes for posterity, but then I realized after spending more time here, and reading people's listed stats on other platforms, that service academies get a fairly wide range of...

Technically it's a bit controversial because some people say it suggests that people with disabilities are not normal. My brother prefers it, as do a few other deaf people that I know, so I tend to use it. I figure they know better than I do about how they want to be referred to lol.

He definitely will. Maybe one day they will find a way to incorporate more people into positions in the military, even if they can't do every job. My older brother would have loved to serve his country, but he's deaf and knew it wouldn't be possible in the military. Instead, he's getting his...

At least we have the snowfall. ❄️⛄ I hope you guys hear soon. Since the senators do this together, you'd think there'd be enough people between them to get it done quickly.

I got mine early, so it just showed up in my portal. No one called me or anything, since it was before MOC decisions and had to be through my Presidential nomination. That said, I'm a little disappointed that President Biden didn't call to let me know lol. Kidding, ofc

I know I don't know her, but your mom is awesome. Her comment really made me laugh. Hope you get your official appointment soon!

Very true. I used SA in a forum of people applying to college and got some very interesting replies because of its other meaning. Here, it's pretty obvious. 👍

Lol agreed. I feel that way when we use SA too, but really what other option is there?

As Tom Petty says, "The waiting is the hardest part." Hope he gets good news soon!

Pretty spot on actually A1 Janitor. It would be about 417 square feet for 4,000 applicants. We might need a ladder or realistically a cherry picker so that AOs could go up to read the cards at the top. 3x5 cards will mean small print for stats and ECs, but at least DodMERB and Nomination...

Oh thank you! I will search for that. I'm not sure how I've missed it.
