appointee

I recently received an appointment to the academy, which I was initially ecstatic about since attending has been my goal ever since I participated in AIM last summer. However, I've recently started having second thoughts. I also received a full NROTC scholarship and was accepted into Virginia...

Hey guys, posting on here for some advice and input. I broke a pinky playing my sport, and have bot gotten it officially checked out in fear of complicating my just recently waived medical file. The opinions of multiple doctors off the record have been that there is shattering and loose bone in...

I was recently appointed to the Academy from being a prior service Airman. I had always considered USAFA as a potential college since I was young in middle school, and had it up there with my dream schools. I was on target and then COVID came and knocked everything out of balance. My home life...

I was recently appointed to the USAFA. I have not yet accepted because I received other appointments as well that I am considering. Will a BFE from USAFA come in the mail before I accept my offer?

Does anyone happen to know if the appointees will be offered an "appointee visit" before they accept or do they have to accept the offer first? I am guessing this would be at your own expense, so the sooner we can get visit info the better.

Is a formal BFE to be sent out to all recent appointees? When is a formal appointment letter/notice received? How long does it normally take to arrive? Does it include a checklist of everything that needs to be done before INDOC? Or is some sort of official checklist online/reporting...

Anyone know if the Academy has a wait list? I've realized that with the timeline of all the appointments being given out now, I'm definitely not even close to being their first choice. I'm starting to realize that I probably won't be accepted, but even so, it would be an honor to even be...

I am a current Senior in high school, and next year I will be attending the Air Force Academy. I was wondering if I need to buy a backpack for the school year, or if I will be issued one once I start classes? Thanks!

Hi! I received an appointment to USAFA this past Wednesday(2/20)! MA 07. Going to accept. USNAPS and USMA appointee as well. Keep it going!

I have recently accepted an appointment from USAFA. I am wondering what I am allowed to bring to the academy, I know I should get boots but can I bring running shoes or a running watch? Do you get to bring any over the counter meds, I know you have to pack light but I'm just curious what I'll be...

From past experience, what is the dress expectation for the appointee tours? Lots of walking involved, so I want to make sure I'm dressed to their standards, as well as accordingly with the events of the day.

Hi Everyone - Our DD received a MOC nomination in late Dec., 2016, followed by an offer/appointment to the USAFA Prep School, Class of 2018. We are so proud of her! Can someone please help clarify and confirm that after she successfully completes the ten-month PS program, our DD will NOT need...

Does anyone know when the appointee kits for class of '21 will be pushed out? Thanks!

DD requested to join the 2020 Appointee Facebook a few day ago, but has not received a reply. Is there something else she needs to do? This is the first time she has ever been on Facebook, so not sure of how the whole thing works. (Not her fault, we would not allow it until now).
