Figured to create this thread since there was a number of mentions of appointments and previous threads started around this time last year.
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 for USAFAPS.
- 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” will indicate right from high school.
- ’Prior” will indicate prior enlisted.
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.
Select all of and copy the most recent list, paste into your new post, click the table, then select the three bars on the dropdown and click the "insert row below" option, 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
SAF forum name/self, DD, DS/LOA or No LOA/Date of Appointment Notification/Accepted or Declined or Undecided/State/Any or no Nominations/college re-applicant or applicant, direct appoint from HS, prior enlisted
