Was anyone’s BFE listed as a “mail piece” on informed delivery and not a package?
Was it listed under “mailpiece” and not package? Because we think hers is.Did the BFE say theres a piece of mail with no image, on Informed delivery
1 MOC letter, and 2 BFE's not scanned or listed in any capacity in ID. Made for old school prior to tech surprises. And a bit of hide and seek since carrier put one on front porch (wind moved to shrub) and one in open workshop (rain and sleet).Ours wasn't listed at all under informed delivery.
There were many, including myself, who received an appointment in the first wave without an LOA.And was the first batch for LOA's ?
They may very well be sent out daily. My daughter wasn’t in the “first wave” because of a late DODMERB entry, but received an appointment 2 days after that first wave.My DD is still waiting in California. She has a principle nom and qualified, were hoping to be in the next batch. Does anyone know if they are sending out daily. And was the first batch for LOA's ?
Most would take the BFE over the portal anyday!Funny DS got the BFE today in LA, but the portal has still not been updated.
Our son is in that boat, he has appointments to USNA, USMA and USMMA. I have reached out privately in forum to members of each and sought advice to help him choose what is best for him. He has visited one of them, not sure we can swing other 2. Reality is that he has to choose the career, not the school. That being said, it is hard to do at 17.Another challenge!
I know many of your DS/DD have 2 or 3 appointments, USMA and USAFA, USMA and USNA, USMA and USMMA, USMA and USCGA.
How to help them to make final decision?
Any decision is great! Any decision we will support. But, for them, age 17, it's still a challenge.
Over night visit? Talk to service in duty people?
Any ideas?
Thank you to share your DS story. Pray to the Lord.Our son is in that boat, he has appointments to USNA, USMA and USMMA.

He occasionally will come out and make a statement as to what his current thoughts are. We are sort of a sounding board. I am fairly confident he has decided. He told me last night that for him, he has to consider all options for a few weeks. If he made a snap decision, and was hating life during Beast, he would always say, "why didn't I pick 'x'" and wouldn't make peace with it. He knows himself well, and if he makes a thoughtful decision, he said he will not look back. And so we wait, and soak up any and all insight we can into each academy. Good luck, it's indeed a good problem to have.
Did you get a call first or the BFE?Funny DS got the BFE today in LA, but the portal has still not been updated.
Call from the Congressman then BFE.Did you get a call first or the BFE?
I also received appointments to USNA, West Point, and USMMA. I love all three equally because all three are great and have very unique opportunities as I serve the country. Did your DS decide to go to West Point? (Since I am reading this writeup here at the USMA forum).Our son is in that boat, he has appointments to USNA, USMA and USMMA.

Visiting all the campus and getting a feel for the right fit for my DD was key. It changed what she thought her first choice would be completely.Another challenge!
