It is that time of the year! Time to start the 2026 USCGA Appointment Thread as some LOAs are being drafted, applications are coming in, DoDMERB hurdles are being tackled and the list begins.
*Thanks to @Capt MJ for this format as they have all the points covered:*
HOW TO ADD YOUR INFORMATION -- this is self-reporting, self-updating do-it-yourself list. Here is how it works: copy the most recent list, paste into a new post, add a line at the bottom with the next appointment number, enter your info in a similar format as below, and then post. Update as needed by the same process of copying the most recent list into a new post and updating whatever information as needed. time! Please report your USCGA Class of 2026 Appointments!
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.
- “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 the 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 a 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 / Date of Appointment Notification / Accepted or Declined or Undecided / State / Sponsored Prep, Self-Prep, College Re-applicant, Direct (appoint from HS), or Enlisted / LOA or No LOA
SAMPLE ENTRY:
1) 2024Bearr / Self / 12/10/2020 / Accepted
Congratulations to all appointees!
