Just talked to my Congressman's office and was told that the USAFA normally communicates appointment offers to congressional/senatorial offices prior to mailing the package to the prospective cadet. This gives the Congressman/Senator the opportunity of communicating the good news.
Now, instead of rushing to the mailbox every day, I get to hurry up and wait for my Congressman to call.
