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.

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.
