<p>Holy freakin hell! I made my daily run of the mailbox, and what is waiting for me? AN LOA! I was so excited I ripped the thing in nearly half! HAHAHAHAH! OHHHH MAN, I pretty much turned my car around on the spot and drove to my dads office to show him… 
= me</p>
<p>Congradulations man! Ive read your posts around here and i know you are deffinately a worthy recipiant of such a small peice of a tree :-P</p>
<p>Congradulations again, make copies of it (incase you DO tear it in half!), frame it and take it with you to bed!</p>
<p>Best of luck. Judging by your post i assume you are acceptiong the appointment when it comes?</p>
<p>Dont forget to bubblewrap your self!</p>
<p>I'm definately accepting snipper...without a doubt...and I wouldn't be suprised if you are creating a thread for yourself very soon...I didn't think I would get an LOA, heck, I was hoping for general admissions, so I was extremely happy...from everything I've read about you, you more than certainly deserve it...keep an eye on your mailbox man..</p>
<p>Congrats, West. That makes at least 2 of us here in the Capital Region! This certainly takes a large burden off your back. Just in case they haven't recieved copies of the LOA's from USAFA, I'm bringing a copy of mine tommorow.</p>
<p>haha, as am I Patriot...thats pretty good if you think about it...out of all the areas in the US, two kids not only got accepted, but got LOAs to the Air Force Academy...must be something in the water, eh?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'll bring mine tomorrow too....what will they think if its nearly in two though? hahaha</p>
<p>AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Not out of joy but anxiety.</p>
<p>seriously guys, about 2 hours ago I was just like everyone else...I REALLY was hoping that I got in general admission...everyone here on this board loves the Academy with all their heart, and I think that the rest without LOAs should be looking in their mailboxes. I was filled with anxiety about getting into the Academy at all, much less an LOA...keep your eyes open.</p>
<p>Great to hear that! Nice to see the LOA's comming in for many here.</p>
<p>Congratulations! I'll look forward to seeing you here.</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>I almost tore mine too. I photocopied it and have been carrying the copy around in my pocket. Happy. I am happy for you. I am happy so many cool kids are going to go to the same school as me. And people who are still waiting... I am totally thinking good LOAish thoughts in your directions (even though I kind of don't know where you live...). You all deserve it. Good Luck, and nice job West!</p>
<p>Wow, it's just amazing to me that so many people who have gotten LOA's are on these boards. It must be either everyone on here is rediculously qualified, which I suspect is the case, as you are all so motivated (me included, I guess), or they are giving out a huge number of LOA's this year. Yeah, its definately the former, but it still freaks me out that such a large portion of LOA recipients are on this forum. And to those who haven't gotten them yet, I'm sure you will soon, or you'll AT LEAST hear something good in March, or April or May, I suspect. Anyways, Congrats again to those who have recieved them, and good luck to those who haven't yet.</p>
<p>Congratulations</p>
<p>Congrats! What an exciting time!</p>
<p>Cool, Congratulations! Still waiting on mine, all these kinds threads give me hope but make me even more nervous and worrisome at the same time.</p>
<p>I checked the mail on Saturday and recieved my LOA. I wasn't too surprised though, because my ALO had given me a heads up earlier in the week. I kinda wish I had that opening the mailbox, and seeing the letter, rush,but I am still really excited about finnally hearing back from the board. Now I just hang on till those Oregon congresspeople make those noms. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
<p>I think the question of why so many of us are getting LOAs is answered by what Patriot said; obviously, only kids dedicated to the Academy would first find a website, then find a forum, then star posting on it...Its great to be around so many of the members here because we all know what we are talking about! We all know the anxiety, the waiting, and hopefully, the exhiliration. I wouldn't be suprised if there is even more LOAs on there way for other people on here...actually, I know there are LOAs on there way for other people on here. The way that we all talk to eachother and think about the Academy, there can simply be NO way that we get denied. </p>
<p>Anyways, thank you all for the congragulations, I probably spazzed out a little at the time I started the thread, so I am slowly starting to inch my way back to earth from cloud nine. I guess you could say another RTB was born...my fetus days are over (weirdest anology ever created, haha, but gets the job done).</p>
<p>"starting to inch my way back to earth from cloud nine'</p>
<p>Whats the rush? Stay up there as long as possible - you deserve it!</p>
<p>I'll add my congrats to all of you! Well deserved and as I read your posts, I have renewed faith in the AF for their selections!</p>
<p>Excellent job man! Good to hear those qualified dudes (and dudettes ;) ) getting them. Bubble wrap! I think we need a thread with pictures of everyone bubble wrapped. :D</p>
<p>I got a postcard from them today, saying I am an official candidate lol (nomination). I shall wait till March! Congrats to yall, amazing to see everyone receiving, a great bunch! ahh, I'm happy!</p>
