Class of 2012 Appointments?

A big thick white envelope from the USCGA was just delivered at our house!

My son won't be home from school for a little while longer, but could this be the beginning of the appointment envelopes arriving?

I guess we'll find out in a few hours.

Sounds exciting for you and your son! Luigi59, where do you live? I live in remote rural area of NC so it may take another day or two for me to receive envelope.

Last year my daughter received the notification of her appointment by e-mail first (Friday, Dec. 15th, I think), and then the 'big envelope' arrived the next day. So check your e-mail too!!!

GREAT NEWS Luigi & Wafflebear! No news here yet. I did receive USNA nom from my Congressmen yesterday (ironic timing) but no news from USCGA.
