Thank you for the correct number on appointments. As you said, it’s an impressive number either way.Glad you enjoyed the Open House/Preview Day. Don't forget The Shack! The food is good and very reasonably priced. I'm not sure on the total number of students who received appointments, but I know there are only 6 AOG sponsored cadets. There were 7 but 1 dropped out of the program last fall. No matter what, the number of appointments sponsored or self prep is impressive.
Many people also stay in Tuscaloosa or Birmingham, and don't mind the drive.
We've been really pleased with the entire experiencer DS has had at MMI. Would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Hey! Congrats! Where are you all coming from? Which Academy/Academies is your DS considering?DS received MMI acceptance for SAP program. Pretty excited!
WV/ and CGAHey! Congrats! Where are you all coming from? Which Academy/Academies is your DS considering?
Thank you!Looks like 8/1 or 8/2 based on last year's calendar
During the April 5th open house, they indicated that dates were not yet set, but they expect around the 1st and 2nd of August.Looks like 8/1 or 8/2 based on last year's calendar
Congratulations to you and your son! We look forward to meeting you!Our son will be attending the SAP at MMI in the fall as well! He's been recruited to throw javelin for the Track team. We are very happy he has been given this opportunity and look forward connecting with you all!
Fingers crossed for your son. If he doesn't get an appointment this year, we hope to see you in the fall at MMI.Our son is scheduled to attend MMI in the fall for SAP if Academies dont offer him an appointment. Currently, he has been waitlisted for Naval and still waiting to hear from USAFA.
Yes, they do get to go off campus, especially after the initial training cycle is completed. Gift cards or accounts at local businesses are always a good idea and are greatly appreciated!I've been doing a little research. It looks like there are a few restaurants in the area around MMI:
Diane's Diner, The Shack, Lottie's, The Social, Whillard's BBQ, The Crab Box and Chatinos Mexican Grill. I also see that there are two gas stations (Valero & Citgo). I'm thinking it might be nice to get some gift cards/certificates to some of the restaurants (while we are down there for report-in day) that my son can use during the year. Do they get time to spend off campus or would this be a waste of money?
Are there any spots in particular that the kids like to frequent? I appreciate your insight, thank you!Yes, they do get to go off campus, especially after the initial training cycle is completed. Gift cards or accounts at local businesses are always a good idea and are greatly appreciated!
