Congratulations to your DS. So happy for you. Way to go.
 
Ok, time to get this rolling. DD found out this morning. So I guess the procedure is to cut and paste the list as the appointments come in. So without further ado.

2. Replevin DD 12/17/2015 call from Sen Nelson's office, FL

+100 FalconsRock, we feel the same way here! Very happy for you & DD! Here's to the next four years and beyond, cheers!!

Replevin, congrats!!!

ps, we are from CA, nom came from MOC dist 9
 
Congratulations to those who have received appointments. My application is complete and I have a presidential and congressional nomination. I have received medical waivers from USNA and USMA but am still disqualified from USAFA. Is there anything I can do or is it just a waiting game to find out about the waiver? Go Falcons!
 
My son (LoA from the AFA right before Thanksgiving) got a call from one of the MOC he interviewed with Tuesday, offering nominations for both the AFA *and* USMA, where he has a "Letter of Encouragement" but some form outstanding from his HS.

Happy and relieved to get the good news of the nom(s) before Christmas. :)

Congrats to your DS. Great news indeed.
 
I hope I'll be able to join that list. I just heard yesterday that I received the Principal Nomination to the Air Force. I have not received an appointment yet, but I hope I will. From everyone's experience, does a Principle nom mean I'm in? I know it's not guaranteed, but is there a good chance I'm in?
 
^^^^^

Unless you have medical issues, you are most likely in. I have only heard of one instance where a principal nominee didn't get appointed, and I'm pretty sure it's because he was having serious problems with his standardized test scores. Just be careful not to get injured or do anything dumb (not that you would, but it bears repeating anyway :cool:).

Also, start preparing physically, beginning now. If you already work out a lot, keep doing so. Practice flutter kicks, push-ups, pull-ups, running, etc., even if you can already max them. You will be glad you did. Trust me. :shake: :thumb:
 
So my nomination from my district representative wasn't specified as a principal. Can I ask what the difference is between a principal nomination and whatever other kind of nomination there is? I attached a photo of the letter notifying me that I got the nomination of that helpsImageUploadedByService Academy Forums®1450406395.770393.jpg
 
I received my second nomination from Jim Jordan today! (4th district, Ohio) I also received a nomination from Senator Rob Portman about 2 weeks ago! Now I am just patiently waiting on an appointment...
 
ThePak16, congrats! I interviewed with Marcia Fudge's people today (OH-11) and I already have Portman's, about 1 week ago. See you on 9 JAN then?

JestFF, congrats on your NOM; you are one step closer. Some MOCs nominate a principal and rank the other 9 candidates. If so, then the academy must appoint the principal if he meets all of the qualifications. Some MOCs do not choose a principal but just nominate 10 candidates and then the academy chooses the appointee. There us a sticky on the top of the Nominations forum that explains this in more detail. It might be helpful.

Thanks for making it simple! I had an idea that's what it meant but I wasn't sure. Final step for my application is to get my ALO to get his evaluation turned in. It's been about 4 months since the interview so I'm just patiently waiting. Sucks that I went through all the work to get all my application done early but it hasn't even been reviewed because of the ALO evaluation
