It’s October, Admissions is looking at the first puzzle pieces to make up the Class of 2025, LOAs are being drafted for some small number of the class, applications are coming in, nom interviews are starting up, DoDMERB hurdles are being tackled and the list begins.
General suggestions/guidance:
- Resist posting until there is an offer
of appointment in hand/portal and you have certainty.
- If you have an LOA, sit tight, wait until you have an actual offer of appointment. You will know it when you see it.
- This thread is not for USAFAPS or sponsored prep offers, save that good news for its own thread.
- Try not to go off on tangents and ask questions about other topics here, so “the list” is the primary focus.
- It’s recommended to not put your District, for privacy reasons. With the mosaic theory of intelligence, identities can be ferreted out and associated with your other questions or comments.
- “Direct” is usually taken to mean right from high school.
HOW TO ADD A NAME: This is DIY self-reporting and self-updating the full list. Mods don't update the list. Kindly posters occasionally do, but the burden falls on posters to copy the list, add their entry and post the updated list. Ditto for later edits from Undecided and then re-posting the entire updated list.
HOW TO CREATE UPDATED LIST:
Method 1, on full website.
Copy the most recent list, paste into your new post, use the next number, enter your info in a similar format, post. If you don’t do this, and just post an entry and not the updated list, you risk the next poster updating the last list, the one without your name, and leaving you stranded and off the list.
Method 2, works well on mobile site on smartphone.
Start a new post by Quoting the most recent complete list. Delete the “quote stuff” at the beginning and end of the list. You now have a complete all-text list that will not act like a Quote. At the end of that list, choose the next number and add your entry. Post.
Don’t forget to go back and update Undecideds! Same methods as above, just edit your original entry
FORMAT for New Entry:
Next appointment number)
