Just email the host agency and copy in your Wing Director of Cadet Programs.

"Circumstances arose that require me to resign my application for (NCSA). I respectfully withdraw my application/nomination. I look forward to participating in the future."

Literally, all that has to happen is they don't select you for a slot, or they can go in and mark you not accepted now. Not a big deal.

But do it today. Don't put it off.

I think the word you want is rescind, not resign.

Don't you think it's a little late to cancel? I mean the selection day is tomorrow.

If selected you will be asked if you accept. Say No

Stuff comes up. People have to bail out.

Better now than right when payment is due.

Simply remove your activity selections from the application.  If you do that, your application will be approved with no activities selected.

That's just the initial selections.  This early in the year, the Activity Directors know that people will back out for various reasons. If you decline a slot now, it gives the AD plenty of time to find a replacement.  It's the last minute declines with weak excuses that upset the ADs.  Getting into the Air Force Academy (or other military school) or ROTC field training dates that interfere with activities happen very often.  It's actually nice to get a call from a cadet that says they can't attend due to an AFA appointment.  It means they are on their way to go a great career and and are taking the path that they wanted.  It's the goal of the cadet program to create successful adults, not for every cadet to get their Spaatz and go to cool activities.   

It's also why you should try to keep the dates open for the activities you'd like to attend, but didn't get selected initially, as someone will need to fill that slot.
