Roll Call - if you're lurking here and had a son or daughter at AIM 2008, or if YOU

[Corbearofskiing]

So I get home today and there is a big white enveople marked First Class Mail from USCGA...I open it and.... It ia a letter talking about how the CG was a major part in helping after Hurricain Katrina and a CD.It was urging me to look into the Academy. I was soooooooo confused. I have already had this for a few months. Anyone else get somthing like this? Any ideas why I did?

got the same thing as well, I was going through the cd and it all seemed very familiar, I think i have definetly gotten this cd before.

My new moto here at the house is "it is what it is", I've done my part with the application so I guess I just have to wait and see...

You are right, it is what it is. We probably all need to relax and get ready for Christmas now. Tomorrow is the third Sunday in Advent (advent means waiting in some sense) and I feel today as if I have been "waiting" very intently---but not for the the right thing. We should all take a deep breath!(with me at the front of the line Next year will bring what it brings and it will all be good, you'll see!
Now, if my son had gotten that big envelope without me seeing these posts, I might have been one of those mom's with a "heart attack." However, my son went through all of his past mail from USCGA and it seemed like he was on two mailing lists fromt the beginning. There was the "thanks for your interest and thanks for applying" bunch of mail and then the "consider us we are great and look at what we can do for you and please apply soon" bunch of mail. Amazing such a small academy would have that issue, but it's been going on since he applied for AIM. Let's not worry about it--looks like it is just a glitch, but it is good to check on each individual case to make sure, always.

With those SMART words... I am going to start decorating my home for the Season... not just the USCGA waiting but illnesses and other college (backup) apps have taken up so much of the last 2 months none of us here have realy gotten prepared for Christmas (except I was one of those out shopping at 4am on Black Friday)..

Everyone have a great Weekend

J C-- (thank you for saying my post was smart--I am recruiting other "smart" people so welcome! my tree is now decorated, the wreath is on the door--now if I could get motivated and clean this house!!! Anyway, I know what you mean about he illnesses and all (I had surgery on 24 nov and then made the mistake of "feeling better" by black friday, so we went shopping, big mistake). Internet shopping is the way to go!!!
I apologize in advance for digressing in this post...the waiting makes me crazy! The uncertainty is even worse...but it was good to get the house ready! Enjoy!

My D is a CGA Prep Scholar at MMI and she also got the big envelope with the CD, telling her to consider CGA, so I'm thinking they had a glitch in their system - maybe mixed up their mailing lists?

that would be REALLY bad for all of us.

P.S. I am done all of my decorating. I am a one man lights machine haha.

My son received his Appointment last week, and the same letter/CD was received today. So, definitely a vendor issue with the mail-outs. No worries for those who are still waiting to hear! Wishing you the best!

I received a letter as well in the big package and I got extremely excited...until I opened it. It was a letter about a pilot and the CD came with it as well. Then, I just got a little angry. No offense to admissions, but does that seem logical to send letters like this out when all of the EA applicants are going crazy with waiting?
