<p>I am losing track of the many appointments that have already been received, and I thought that if you don't mind, you could post here, and as each new appointment is received, copy the original list and paste to the reply, adding yours to the bottom. (Just like what is happening in the "where are you from" thread.)
Thanks for sharing.

<p>Curious to find out from people who have received appointments. Did you first hear from your Senator/Congressman? Was it a phone call or letter? If you heard first from them, how soon after that did you receive the official notification from the Academy?</p>
<p>My son received a call from our senator's office telling him that they had just been notified by the academy that he had received an appointment. The message was on his voice mail because they called during the day when he was at school. I don't know what would have happened if I had answered the phone. I assume they would have told me. I just happened to be in the room with him when he checked the message. Watching the look on his face was one of the most wonderful moments of my life - I will remember it always. The official notification from the academy came by mail approximately 10 days later - in a very nondescript white envelope. Good luck to all of you who are waiting - it must be very hard.</p>

<p>thanks for the info. Was the official notification in a nice folder or anything like that? I think I remember reading on the WP site that they were sent in green folders?</p>
<p>While I don't think the actual letter is in any folder etc. once you accept, your BGO typically does a presentation at your Senior awards assembly or equivalent with the blue folder and your appointment in a certificate form. Apparently, according to our BGO, blue folders are 'good'. :) The appointment to NAPS was also presented to my daughter (at our house at the graduation party LOL) in a nice blue folder with the Blue angels on one side and the appointment on the other. Very cool.

<p>It came in an ordinary white envelope. We have a lot of trouble with our mail and we were afraid that the official notification had been lost in the mail. We were actually thinking of calling the academy to see what had happened when the letter arrived. It actually arrived the day we were leaving for CVW. NAPS05mom is correct - the BGO said the appointment would be presented to my son at the senior awards banquet. Hopefully all of you will get calls before the letter arrives because frankly it is so nondescript that it could easily be overlooked, misplaced or misdirected. Sorry to add to your anxiety.</p>
<p>You meant there's no fat envelope? I think I would faint if I got an ordinary letter from USNA fearing it was a rejection! Please clarify if it was a "thin" or "fat" ordinary white envelope!</p>
