Not to make the story too long, but my son was accepted for admission, but did not accept. He has since been in college for 2 years and is an A student double majoring in Aerospace engineering and professional pilot. He has said to us on several occasions lately that he made a huge mistake by turning down his appointment to the academy. He is seriously thinking of applying again. I was just wondering if any of you have heard of others doing this same thing. If so, how has it gone? Will the committee hold it against him that he declined his first appointment? Is there any advice that he would need? He really feels that the AFA is the place he should be and regrets that it has taken him this long to really realize it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
