Starting New Site to Help USNA Candidates

I am starting a new site whose only goal is to help USNA Candidates and provide information on the Naval Academy. The short version of my story is that I am a USNA graduate and a former Blue and Gold officer who has seen many misunderstandings and mistakes by applicants. I have also lately seen some extremely good candidates not get in. USNA admission is becoming even more competitive, especially this last year. Instead of answering the same questions and seeing the same mistakes over and over,… Continue

Finished applying to USAFA + have a nomination...now the hard part: waiting

I finished the application process for USAFA a couple of months ago and recieved my congressional nomination before Christmas day, however I haven't recieved any assurance of getting into the Air Force Academy from the office of admissions. I am SOOOOO anxious to hear back from them it's not even funny. I wonder if anyone else is in the same boat as I am. Does anyone else know when USAFA sends out most of their letters of appointment? I heard it was March, but I'm not certain. Continue

inauguration 09 and beyond

well, whether or not they knew what they were doing, the majority of america elected obama as president, so i guess we wil get what we get. on other topics, im starting to wonder whether im cut out for academy life after all. maybe rotc would better suit my needs. maybe not the military at all. i really need to just pray and think about it, its a big decision, and the more i put it off, the harder it will be if i decide the academy is for me. im really starting to get interested in politics, a… Continue

Winter break is just about over and I am more than ready to get back to school. I have a CAP meeting next week so that is something great to look forward to. I… Continue
