I can't answer your question; because I don't know. Normally, this forum will have a thread where all the people who follow the forum who received an appointment will put some of their info on. Not sure if one person or an organization has a facebook page for all the appointees.
On a side note; if it were me; (But I'm nobody, so take it with a grain of salt); if I received an appointment, I'd be extremely proud and happy. However, I'd want to keep a very low profile online. Why, pray tell? ; you may ask. This year's junior's at the academy, are going to be your cadre; your leaders at the academy. As well as many of the other lower class cadets. If I'm one of 1,200 coming to the academy, I want to keep a low profile. I want to walk into the academy with no preconceived opinions of me. And, if any of you think that no one at the academy knows who you are; isn't looking at social media for the things you say; and doesn't care what you do before getting there;.............well, all I can say is; you're wrong. Without going into details, if you're a big time standout in social media; prior to arriving to the academy; those there WILL KNOW who you are. It's happened in the past numerous times.
If my memory serves me right, I believe that USAFA Admissions will start an official Class of 2021 Appointee FB page and invite Appointees who have accepted. As I recall, it is in the April time frame.
Not saying being on social media itself is bad. Simply saying to keep a low profile. It's fine to get to know people. But usually, the type of people who go to the academy are type A personalities. They tend to toot their own horn a bit. A remember, you're joining the military. You're not going off to college and joining a fraternity or sorority. And the cadre, your instructors when you get there, are not there to be your friend. They're there to break you down, along with everyone else, and build you back up as a team.
Usually, the ones who have the problems, are the ones who talk online about how they were a commander in jrrotc, cap, etc. and that they think they have a leg up and it will be easier. Or the ones who start talking about how they'll breeze through and they're going to be a pilot and go to grad school, etc. basically spouting their individuality. Stay away from talking about how good you are, and you'll be fine.
Are you to mean that there are a lot of incoming cadets who are conceited and condescending about their supposed impressive accomplishments? I assumed that a lot of cadets were humble.
I just saw the other day that a Parent's Resource FB page has been created for the Class of 2021. I know that the LOA is a requirement for membership in this group, but beyond that I don't recall other specifics off the top of my head.If my memory serves me right, I believe that USAFA Admissions will start an official Class of 2021 Appointee FB page and invite Appointees who have accepted.

But I'm no parent. I'm the student. Can I still join the group?There is a USAFA Parents Facebook page. One for each incoming class and one for all parents in general. Just search USAFA Class of 2021 Parents Group or USAFA Parent Resource
These are great resources.
I'm a member of both groups and it seems to be strictly parents based on my observations.But I'm no parent. I'm the student. Can I still join the group?
It is really for the parents. There are cadet pages that usually pop up around March.But I'm no parent. I'm the student. Can I still join the group?
