For Those Awaiting an Appointment/TWE

" There is no difference really--the go to sea versus be stationed in landlocked places...very little difference.
My Dad would argue that you could have both! While in the Air Force he was stationed in the worst place possible. The incredibly inhospitable terrain of a little place called Bermuda! Let me tell you, he had it rough.;)
 
I received my TWE today as well. I think my mom is taking it harder than I am!! I'm definitely reapplying next year, and wishing luck to all of those still in the running!!! The application process has taught me more about myself than I knew. I'm ready for the journey ahead!

Mom's do take it harder. My DD has taken several whacks lately and although she is disappointed, no one loves their kids more than their parents. Kids are more resilient but we hurt for them and it's harder for us to heal. FAIL=First Attempt In Learning and it is important to fail to become a success but it doesn't hurt any less for a parent to watch it happen. [emoji4]
 
DS received a TWE today, 4/24, via email and a portal update.

Very disappointing end to this particular ride but good luck to all those still in the fight!

Good luck to your DS. Our DS received his TWE a week ago today. They are resilient. He now is now fully engaged Plan B, more determined than ever and will be reapplying next year. There is a certain character about those that apply to SA, your DS no doubt has that character and will do well in this world.
 
Weirdest thing just happened about an hour ago. After getting his TWE on 4/17 my DS moved on and accepted his AFROTC scholarship on 4/22. We put the money down at the school, did the tour yesterday and so on. Today, we received a call from our Senator's office stating that my DS will be getting an appointment offer on Friday. WTH?

Delaware. Got a call from the Senator's office. They told us that the USAFA emailed them this morning stating to contact the candidate and that an offer of appointment will be extended on Friday. I'll have DS check his portal Friday night to see if anything is in there. I do know it's 26 APR 17 and not 1 APR 17, but still kind of in the WTH mode.

Congratulations - Happy Dance time in DE tomorrow night
 
Congratulations to your Son, Rick. This crazy ride will make a good story--some day!
 
RickD, Huge Congrats! You DS may be first TWE to BFE this year in this forum.
Just curious, did your DS contact USAFA Admissions upon receipt of TWE?
Let's hope they send out more BFE after TWE. I think they had 6 or 7 last year.
Nope. We had mentally moved on to Plan B. Put the deposit down, accepted the scholarship, and so forth. No comms at all.
