Just some helpful input for some common themes 1. Don’t worry too much about nominations. You will have to apply for every nomination you can, and you will be told in time when to complete them. EVERYONE applies for EVERY nomination source they can. I came to the P as a prior enlisted Airman...

JakobF, see my reply to Lynn114 right above your post. There is no application to the prep school. You appply to USAFA and may be picked up to go to the prep school instead- it’s all up to USAFA admissions, they make the call on prep offers

America Works: I believe we had ~50 show up and graduated ~45. Probably 15-20 direct entries joined us for I-day at the academy and historically priors have around a 50% attrition rate (we’re doing really good for now- only have lost 2 that I know of, 6 months into doolie year) Minty iced tea...

Lmao @Eagle8201 I'm eagles classmate and a fellow prior- As a prior, you'll be held to a higher standard than the directs but will receive no extra privileges or wiggle room for that. You won't receive any recognition for your prior service but the second you make a minuscule slip up, it'll get...

Ha, did you see my facebook status yesterday? I tried ripping the stripes off and now all my blues have holes in them.. So I'm making a trip to the Airman's Attic tomorrow

I just downsized and got rid of most of my stuff. It's humbling to see your whole life fit into 2 duffels and a garment bag haha

Dorm council and ACE councils if your base had one are great leadership organizations to have on your app.. Also don't slack in your job while you're applying, you'll need your Sq/CC's nom so you'll want to be on their good side

I am an enlisted Airman and earned a slot at the prep school this coming year. I was by no means the nominal high school student. My advice to you would be to rock out on the CFA, study and retake your ACT/SAT to get the best scores possible, and while you're enlisted continue to shine and rack...

TJ, just like the direct entry threads, my advice would be to not give up hope if your portal still says candidate. I heard at the end of March but was dead sure that I wouldn't hear back until April (that's what all my reading had led me to believe). As far as the sequence of events, your...

Myself? I'm currently an enlisted Airman that has been out of high school for 3 years now.. I don't look at it as "didn't make direct entry" as much as "hey we REALLY want you, we're gonna spend extra money on 10 months worth of prep school to ensure your success at the academy". I'm definitely...

I created a USAFA Prep c/o 2017 thread on here recently. Only two entries so far- myself and a fellow LEAD applicant. Looking forward to more slots being announced this month, best of luck to you!

For sure. Hopefully this means our MPF is familiar with the process and won't have any issues with generating our orders!

Awesome! And small world, Eagle! I just saw you were here at Eglin as well haha was Col. B your ALO as well? He told me that there was another airman here that got picked up for the P but I forgot to ask a name..

Good Morning Ladies/Gents, I did a search and didn't find a thread for USAFAPS c/o 2017 entering this coming July- so I thought I'd go ahead and start one, since I've seen several people that have been given offers and am eager to see who I'll be there with! So just like the appointment...
