    Perks for USAFA Grads

    that is the same basic route my DD took with her loan this year. invested almost all of it and still managed to get a new car. should have all of it paid off before she hits 25. not a bad start for anybody. 25 debt free and a 3 or 4 year old vehicle not to mention great credit.

    honor concept dead

    sa far as "..not tolerate among us those that do." my DD has had several different encounters with other cadets and it weighs heavily on her mind. If she reports it there is a chance it comes back to her being a "tattletale". if she doesn't then she winds up letting a less than ethical cadet...

    Commitment

    When do 3rd year cadets get offered their commitments to stay in the Acadmey/AF? Just curious as my DD is in her 3rd year and commitment would seem to be right around the corner.

    Starting at age 17?

    Christcorp is correct. Our DD, didn't turn 18 until September of her 4* year. We signed her over to the military with one form that released her to the military. Same as if one were to enlist, 17 with parent's consent then your butt belongs to Uncle Sam.

    THUDGATE: U.S. Air Force Falcon Football: Parent's Weekend

    I am looking forward to meeting the Thudgate crew and so many other of you. I am sure it is here somewhere but i have a question. Thudgate is a before and after party yes? My cadet would also like the opportunity to meet and greet many of her brothers and sisters and any parents as well.

    Rental car for Parents Weekend

    We found the same. Originally had booked the car early and a mid size was nearly $500 for the week. We went thru our airline to book a car and got a full size for about $200 before taxes etc.

    Aeronautical Engineering

    considering most other colleges that offer aeronautical or astronautical engineering degrees that take a solid 5 years to obtain, be prepared for a HEAVY class load on top of all the other activities. Just a friendly word of warning. :redface:
