<p>Hello everybody,
i just came back from my D.C. trip yesterday, so this is my first post since then. On Saturday March 29, i was looking at the city of New York (we went there too) atop the Rockefeller building at night, when i checked my voicemail on my cell phone and heard my dad telling me that my appointment to USAFA arrived in the mail that day. I was more shocked than elated, and it was truly something else to know of my dreams coming true while overlooking New York on a Saturday night. I am extremely happy and very excited for what i am about to embark on. I just want to thank my parents, siblings, friends, teachers, and most of all, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (i dont care if i’m not allowed to say it, i’m saying it anyways), for without whom i amount to nothing.
i also want to thank everybody on these forums (ESPECIALLY hornetguy, as well as pima, Zaphod, peskemom, and i’m sure a few others on this forum who i forgot to mention). these individuals have been there with me asking me question after question, and i’m sorry for being more of a vaccum than a contributer!! I have a ton more questions and comments i want to say, but i will let those flow as they come. again, thank you everybody!!</p>
<p>CONGRATULATIONS flyboy!!! (I already said that over at the other forum but I guess you can't hear that enough today!)</p>
<p>So....congrats! congrats! congrats! congrats! congrats! congrats!</p>
<p>May you continue to dream big dreams, and may they continue to keep coming true!!! :) :) :)</p>
<p>Congratulations! I too was more shocked when I received the phone call. Are you going to the orientations?</p>
<p>yes, but i'm not sure which date</p>
<p>W00T! Good work. Don't worry about being a vacuum, that's what you should be at this point. Once you are here you will become a source. That's how we all are. :) Again, GOOD WORK! See you soon!</p>
<p>great to hear about a new classmate! now get to working out! ;)</p>
<p>CONGRATS! Keep flying high!</p>
<p>Congrats, I know you really wanted the AFA and that will be a great asset for you, and you will be a great asset to the AFA. See you on the other side. Go Air Force...ABOVE ALL</p>
<p>You arent alone! i was definately surprised when i recieved notification recently. I honestly feel like I am constantly asking questions and I had only discovered this site a few weeks ago and all the help is great! </p>
<p>Let me know when you decide on your orientation date, I'm going going on the 14-15 so maybe I'll see you there!</p>
<p>i'm not sure what date, but i'll be sure to let you know :). </p>
<p>and bulletandpima, that "above all" in bold just fired me up for some reason i can't explain!! :0</p>
<p>It better :D</p>
<p>I actually like it much better than AIM HIGH...don't get to attached it though, in the 20yrs that Bullet has been with the AF this is the third slogan</p>
<p>I know how excited you are, our household is excited, nervous, anxious, elated and a bit frightened. Well that's just me, but I'm sure that both my DDs are emotional as well!
Let us know when you are heading to Orientation and don't forget to sign up for a CC dinner.</p>
<p>Awesome! can't wait to hear from you! When i first found out I was mostly surprised (obviously) and the excitment has just risen since then. Today is a spirit week for HS and it is "Who you want to be when you grow up day"...needless to say, i was the only one dressed in camo pants and a USAFA sweatshirt...gota love it!</p>
<p>Congrats! Hope you make it to Orientation!</p>
<p>I'll be at the first session of orientation...idk about everyone else</p>
<p>Congratulations kiddo! The roller coaster ride will begin shortly :)</p>
<p>and does that roller coaster ride have more ups than downs? because i'm sure there is very little straight and level track :)</p>
<p>I'm happy to say that it does. :)</p>
<p>I'm happy to hear that it does!</p>
<p>Almost being a 2 dig, the ups get bigger and bigger! :)</p>
