It’s September, so the first drip of OFFERS OF APPOINTMENT will not be long in coming. Let’s have another great season of sharing good news, to note the flow of offers and spot trends in nom categories. Whether or not these posters decide to accept their offers, they are worthy of a nod of acknowledgement for having achieved the milestone of an offer of appointment.

Do not feel pressured by this. Appointments do start coming out in early fall but start flowing heavily after the winter holiday as the bigger categories of nominations firm up, deadlines hit and class-building hits its stride.

THE FORMAT: This is the simplest and oldest format, a straight text list, no formatted tables, that is described in following paragraphs. If you decide to import a table or spreadsheet format to “help” the thread, please take full responsibility for it to the end of the cycle. Provide clear instructions. Check in regularly to help those who have trouble with it. Rescue those who give up or don’t bother and just leave a name in the hope someone will scoop it up and add it. The Class of 2025 list sputtered to a halt in a shambles, with names left behind and frustration abounding, until a kindly poster re-converted the data back to a simple list. Most posters can handle the simple list, and other posters find it relatively easy to help duplicate a simple list. Having a complete list at the end of the cycle can give hints of trends and is just plain fun to watch. Even if a table view list is presented, I’ll ensure the simple list is always close by.

HOW TO ADD A NAME: This is self-reporting, self-updating and DIY. 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.

WHO SHOULD POST: This is meant primarily to be a list of offers of appointment to USNA (candidates with NAPS or prep offers [Class of 2029] should celebrate in their own thread), so we can see the class of 2028 build. If you have a question to ask, it probably deserves its own thread, and this one can stay relatively true to its purpose.

HOW TO CREATE UPDATED LIST: Copy the most recent list, paste into 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 your entry stranded and not included. Please do the neighborly thing and update the entire list with your entry.

Don’t forget to go back and update Undecideds! Same drill - Copy list, paste into new thread, update your entry, post.

You can search for similar past lists on all forums.


Since I usually start this one every year, I reserve the right to add musical interludes or other content as a morale-builder, which may not strictly adhere to the stated purpose of the thread, but I enjoy doing.

We’ve glimpsed Unicorn LOAs out and about, with reports of fulfilled conditions and noms in hand (usually service-related ones), so I am feeling we will see the first trickle of appointments start within the next few weeks.

For those of you who don’t have your applications in, are awaiting nom interviews, or whatever, DO NOT LOSE HEART as you might hear about others getting appointments. The appointment flow is like a bell curve, trickle now, big spurts after the New Year and into April, then back to a tiny trickle and done in June.

Don’t forget to go to this link if you need to chat about this cycle, as we keep this thread focused on reports of appointment offers:

And to keep your spirits up, and it’s not one of my usual military band selections, enjoy this. Great with earbuds.

Hi, State Parents' club mom, here--do moderators and senior members have any suggestions for how to connect with new additions to the list for our states? Our BGOs give state club contact info to their P2Bs as they accept, but every year families get left out because they are depending on the high schooler to make the connection for his/her parents. We often don't find them until late Plebe year or later. They are so perplexed and sad when they realize they missed the Welcome Aboard picnic and other P2Bs spent much of the summer running and swimming together, or at least texting across the state. USNA still says they cannot share parent info until the AC year starts. They claim its a federal privacy issue, but USAFA and USMA parents' clubs get the contact info in early summer in order to welcome new families. Ideas? Thanks!

This year, we have a fun new twist--the senior officer of the regional recruiting command spotted my USNA pin at a CO Rapids soccer game and told me his Marines want to help Colorado P2Bs get ready for Plebe summer. They are thinking of a few group runs with Jodies (running cadences) and running in formation, they'll bring their portable pull up bar, etc. Our club wants to join in and have a tailgate/endpoint to feed and hydrate the P2Bs and Marine volunteers! Now we just have to do a better job of connecting with P2Bs as those BFEs roll out.

If you want to post this in a new thread I am happy to help with some ideas, that will keep this thread strictly for the first to post their appointment. Once you have enough posts, I can send you a private message.
