We were told that Congressman Wittman's SAAB finished the interviews last weekend and were in the process of preparing their recommendation list for submission to him this week. Having gone through this last year, Congressman Wittman announced his nominees before Christmas but Senator Webb did not announce his until late January. Hope that helps.

Is you child applying again this year?
[Is you child applying again this year?
My son applied last year and got the dreaded Qualifed No Vacancy letter from AFA in early April. He then moved on to plan B to do AFROTC at VT to study mechanical engineering. In mid May, he received a Falcon Foundation Scholarship from AFA to do a prep year at the New Mexico Military Institute.
As long as he satisfies the requirements of the scholarship, e.g. no grades below a C, pass the CFA again and secure a nomination, he is pretty much guaranteed an appointment to the 2016 AFA class. He is on his way home from NM now. Got all A's this semester, maxed the CFA and we just found out this afternoon that he got another nomination from Congressman Wittman.
Where are you hoping to get a nomination to?
My son might not be charged to Wittman. He already has a Presidential nomination because of my retired status. Congressman Wittman's office notifies his nominees by email first and then follows up with a formal letter on Congressional stationery. My understanding regarding Senator Webb is that he waits to see who the nominees are from Warner and the 11 Congressmen before announcing his slate in late January. Good luck to your son.
He checked his email and had a nomination from Congressman Wittman! He's very excited! Maybe our boys will get a chance to meet at some point. Thanks so much for the information. Have a great visit with your son while he's home.
