<p>Sorry, I hadn't been able to get close enough to see the letter until now. We have the times.</p>
<p>Two years ago, when my now Mid was an applicant, he changed his date from the October session to January. He had Cross Country Regions on the October Date. He called the regional director and there was no problem with making the switch. Your son/daughter might want to investigate that before turning it down. It is a good program to go to if you can make it work. Saturday ends after Sat Morning Training, about 11:30 was when we met up. Don't know about Thursday - one of last year candidates will need to answer.</p>
<p>The Academy Admissions folks were very helpful last year in moving people around when conflicts arose. I'd suggest contacting your regional officer.</p>
<p>Great American may be referring to another banquet in Nov, but last year's was at the October date. One needed to purchase advance tix, and I believe the focus of the event was an enhanced diversity recruitment effort. The word on the Yard was ... "lots of groaner speeches that seemed even longer after a long Friday." lol It was all goofed up, with some receiving invites, others not, etc.</p>
<p>I recieved mine today too! I live in Cambodia, but since I was gonna be back in the States (Colorado) for my DoDMERB stuff, CFA, and nomination interviews anyway, I am gonna extend my trip couple days and go on the November 15th-17th dates. I am really looking forward to it....</p>

<p>I don't know if this year's banquest will be the same as the one last year. The invite for this year says that the candidate and one guest are invited. On a space available basis, candidates can bring one additional guest at a cost of $30.00.</p>
<p>I recieved my letter on Thursday! I'm going to the October CVW. I also got a ticket for the football game that Saturday. Does anyone know if there is any place to store luggage while at the game? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
