My son received the call today and has received an appointment. A few hours later his future coach then gave him a call to congratulate him.

BEAR - I would like to meet you since you are in the Katy area.

Congratulations :thumb: Laguna. What sport does your son play? We are a swim team/soccer family not to far from you in Fredericksburg, TX.

I'm overwhelmed by all your congrats and excitement for us; you guys are priceless, and I wouldn't trade a single well-wish for the world. You could knock me over with a feather (especially after that champagne--I'm such a light-weight:shake:, boys thought it smelled gross and sour; they were very happy with their sparkling cider.) My husband walked in the door and asked, "Appointment? Where?" and we said hardly able to contain ourselves, "The only one that matters." He then proceeded to give us all big hugs, pop the champagne, and call everyone we know on speaker phone.

But lets get down to business! Animal73s, BM3Miller, bozrah0307, hsjude, BEINGPATIENT, disey3, logcabin4, fairwinds, sdad and everyone (yes, you know I'm calling you out!). I seriously am going to pray HARD for you tonight. I wrote all your names on a piece of paper and am placing it on my pillow to remember everyone of you.

The Big Guy knows his perfect plan for you. My prayer for all of you is the same I prayed for my son. That you would be in the perfect plan for your life, and that if you should suffer disappointments, He would see fit to help you and show you His perfect plan.

I am grateful to chat with ya'll, and you won't be getting rid of me anytime soon. Keep the Faith. -officer

No mail for me today, in Connecticut. I'll probably get the mail Monday or I'm in those remaining 50 records.

Pulling for you YankeesFan. I just noticed I didn't have you on my list, but it's on there now. Your a local boy I see; you could practically ride your bike to the CGA :shake:. I'm praying now. Keep the Faith. -officer
------------------

joshual, ladderdaddy, and CO43, I'm praying for you too. I was so frantic last night, I wasn't careful to make a proper list. I'm praying for you now.

Disey,

Read Objee's post #140 in this thread. Hang in there just a little bit more; I want good things for you and your family to happen. I'll be checking on you. -officer
 
Thanks Officer! Objee...look hard at those last 50 cases! There are a few young men & women who would make a fine addition to USCGA Class of 2014!! :shake:
 
hsjude said:
Objee - would that mean that anyone who had an appointment letter mailed out yesterday should have received a phone call today? What types of things would a conditional appointment be for? And are the letters mailed first class?
Thanks.

We called all the full appointees, but not the conditional appointees.

Conditional appointments are granted for any of the following reasons:

1) Has not been found medically qualified by DoDMERB;
2) Has not been granted a medical waiver after being found medically disqualified by DoDMERB;
3) Has not taken the PFE after being granted a waiver for application review;
4) Has not met Coast Guard accession height/weight standards.

Through Friday everything was mailed via USPS First Class; we'll send the remaining appointments (on Monday) via USPS Priority.

Does this mean that all appointments are complete and we should expect a TWE or wait list notification if we did not hear from admissions today?

No...we tendered some full and conditional appointments on Friday and then called all the full appointees on Saturday. We're still reviewing some records this weekend and will be tendering more full and conditional appointments on Monday, so the fact that you didn't receive a phone call on Saturday only means you were not tendered a full appointment on Friday. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
Objee,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to keep us updated on the process:thumb: Your updates allow us to keep the faith during this anxious time!
 
Officer and Laguna,

What wonderful news! We are sooo happy for you!

Officer, you have been so inspirational on this forum...I'm glad you're going to stick around for a while. I bet you all had a great weekend!!!

Thanks for thinking of us waiting, too.
 
I second that! Thanks Objee!

I couldn't agree with you more animal73. We are lucky to have someone willing to shed light on this process. No matter what happens, it has kept me from downing my whole bottle of blood pressure medication!! :yllol: Yes, keep the faith.

Agree ten fold! Objee is a blessing...deserves some R&R after all this!
 
Objee - thank you so much for the detailed responses - especially in the midst of all the other important work you are doing to get the CGA class of 2014 assembled - you truly are a blessing.
 
Objee-Thank you for the updates! Go Officer/Laguna

Looking forward for Mon/Tue (Carpe Diem) either way, It's all good!:wink:
