This information was published this a.m. from the Garrison commander at West Point (I assume all military installations will have same procedure): ‪#‎WPAlert‬ We have just received information regarding changes in security procedures on West Point. We realize that this is a short notice on the...

Have y'all seen this new book: How to Get Into a Military Service Academy? I haven't heard of the author, but perhaps he's someone on this page.

My sources tell me that the class of 2019 and the Old Grads stepped off about 5 a.m. The class motto is "So Freedom Will Reign." G company won best overall company. It's been a journey getting to this point--so proud of all these NCs!

Last night there was an admissions event in Atlanta. Our RC, Maj. Turner presented. One thing he reiterated over and over was how important it was that the candidate ask the questions. That means the email associated with the portal is the candidates (NOT the parent's)--same with the phone...

First, I'm sorry. We were there a year ago. Once you regroup and you are ready to get busy, contact your RC and ask the tough questions: Where do I need to improve? What should I do to increase my chances for next year? After you hear back from your RC, do everything he/she says (whether you...

Here's an article about the final flight of the Kiowas at Ft Campbell. This makes me so sad; my son loved this airframe. He worked hard to earn an aviation slot, and then worked to earn the Kiowa...

Would like to hear from those who have sat on nom committees on this one. DS #2 wore a suit, as he was a HS senior interviewing. However, DS #3 is in the corps of cadets at a senior military college. He has permission to wear a suit, but we're wondering if it would be better to wear his dress...

I see there is a Norwich group...so I wondered if maybe some UNG parents might be here and not know about the Cadet Parent Page. If you'd like to join the fb page, here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/north.georgia.cadet.parents/ You'll get a message from the moderator (check your...

At what point should a ROTC cadet inform their leadership of their intent to apply to a SA? This would be another nomination source, so he would like to utilize it...but doesn't want to appear to be "that kid who is just here while he reapplies to SA." Thoughts?

What would happen in a CC showed up on Rday sporting a sleeve tattoo? Sent home? What if CC is a RA?

DS was offered 3 year AROTC today. Had already planned to attend UNG, but as a part of a program called RETP...an engineering transfer program, where after 2 years students transfer to GA tech to complete engineering degree. While we wait to hear from ROTC, UNG, and tech w/ official info, can...

Have any of your CCs gotten access to the second part of the app? I know those who applied for SLE have...but anyone who didn't apply get converted to this part of the file? The message says they'll start evaluating end of July...the other academies have already opened this for my son, and I was...

I'm planning to fly out for a visit w/ son over spring break. The webpage says if they do the cadet escorted tour, you meet them back at 3:30. Then is it over? Do you meet w/ the admission rep before the tour? I'm trying to figure out if we can make it back to Denver for a flight home same day...

I'm asking for a friend who is trying to connect...is there a facebook group for AFA moms or parents? USMA moms have connected on fb for years (West Point Moms), but a cursory search on fb didn't find anything. If you have any info, could you please provide. Thanks!

A question for an FFR: This summer, my son is participating in a short term foreign exchange and will miss weekly summer band practices. He has his final interview for our state's Governor's Honors Program (a 3 week intense college experience for rising seniors, very competitive). If he is...

A big shout out to the West Point Moms: yesterday a.m. was the first ever Cadet Mom's 5K. It was originally an idea to get the moms in shape before ring weekend. It turned into an event that raised >$50K for Fisher House. Well done, moms!!

For those of you who'd like to connect with other parents, I wanted to make you aware of some opportunities on facebook: West Point Moms West Point Dads 2016 WP Moms

Grad Week!! I want to take a second and thank those who were instrumental in helping me navigate these last 47 months (longer, if I count the months on here prior to RDay): momof2cadets (who is now a real life friend as well), JustaMomof4, USNA69 (I love this guy and I hope he sees this)...
