<p>Hi, I’m a freshman in high school and about a year ago I registered with the USAFA database for those interested in the Academy on their admissions website. Today, I was sent an invitation to what the letter says is “a USAFA sponsored Academy Day” on December 30. Part of it could be that I live in Fort Worth, TX, where the Armed Forces Bowl is the next day. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else knew anything about it or had recieved the same invitation.</p>
<p>My son just received this yesterday, Thursday. We are in the OKC area.</p>
<p>Do you plan on going? I am going, but I don't know of anyone else who is.</p>
<p>We are not sure yet.Jeff's dad is travelling and I am not sure yet if he wants me to take him.</p>
<p>My son went and gained a lot of info--well worth your time. In fact, he spoke with one Air Force officer--they really seemed to hit it off. Turns out, that particular officer ended up being his ALO, so the interview went well.</p>
<p>If you can go, I would highly recommend it. My husband and I both accompanied our son--there was a lot of information for parents as well as students. My son also got to meet the staff of the senators and congressman--well worth it.</p>
<p>I thnik I'll be there, but I'm already a cadet. It's on our schedule for Drum and Bugle since we'll be at the Bowl game the next day.</p>
