Prior enlisted folks, I wanted to know has anyone of you all not been accepted to the prep school or academy?
I believe only one prior has ever been directly appointed to the academy, and he was a MOH recipient. Or at least that's what the priors here at the prep school were told.
I forgot to mention also that my cadet escort during the LEAD DVP was a prior enlisted C4C who was direct, same job as me to boot, and there were quite a few upperclassmen that were priors who were direct.
Just out of curiosity, did you visit the Prep School during your LEAD DVP? Or just the academy? The prior that rooms next to me escorted LEAD participants around here in the fall.
Haha yes I did, I think we talked about it in the LEAD DVP thread I created. I toured squadron A, I wasn't in the group that sat in the class, but seeing the Prep dorms was interesting, it also seemed the squadron on the hill I was at, let their C4C have quite a bit more permissions than y'all.
I haven't heard that any of the Prior enlisted at the Prep have received appointments. Last year, ten preppies out of the entire class got early appointments at the end of February.
Last year, those priors (or parents) that posted on the boards, all went to the prep school. I never heard how many priors went direct. Time will tell this year.
Best of luck to all those applying and good luck as we wait.
And here we go again...
