Has any one heard anything about this years orientation? As far as I knew registration started tomorrow?
Like your son, mine has a good idea of what he wants. I was hoping to send his mom out for orientation to help convince her that her "little boy" was making the correct decision. You know what they say....if momma isn't happy....For me, it was indeed "the clincher", without a doubt I walked away from orientation with the secure feeling that USAFA was the best fit for my son - and that was truly priceless!
I have to admit being surprised as well. It didn't seem like all that much money was spent on us, agreed we paid for everything, including having to pay for the meals we ate on base. I had not been out there since the early 80's and it definitely helped ease my mind. I guess now parents have no choice but to go on their own. They still offer tours, but do the kids get time with the cadets to see what life is like, etc? I guess if they have to cut somewhere..........
