INCOMING CLASS OF 2023 APPOINTEES - Congratulations and welcome to the USAFA family. As you get ready to start your journey, here are a few things that you can do that will help us support you.
  1. Fill out and submit the USAFA PARENT PRIVACY RELEASE FORM. This form must be signed by both the appointee and parents and can be scanned and emailed to the USAFA Parent Liaison (her contact information is on the form). Once this form has been submitted, USAFA can officially release your contact information to us.
  2. Check our our Events/Dates page.  Our 2018 schedule is still being finalized, however, we will have a new appointee luncheon in May that you will want to attend. It's a great opportunity to meet other new appointees and to get your questions answered by  parents of current cadets. Also, check out the Important Dates for Parents document. This is a great summary of all the key dates at USAFA for the next year.
  3. If you use Facebook, consider joining a couple of groups. Our Eastern Michigan Parents Group has a Facebook group (see invite link at the left) and each class at the academy has a Facebook group. Search "USAFA Class of 2022 Parents Group" to locate the class of 2022 group.
