    2016 lanyard color

    Lanyards If you log onto the Webguy page and look down to the right hand corner of the BCTI photos, you will see "buttons" for each Squadron. The colors correspond to their lanyard colors. Happy hunting!

    Compression Shorts

    My DS brought 5 pairs of compression shorts with him to BCT last year and was allowed to keep them. According to him, the shorts were lifesavers as the issued undergarments were XXL on my skinny son. He said the ABUs can be scratchy and the compression shorts prevented chafing.

    Questions about "Instructions to Appointees"

    That might have been my son...his glasses broke before BCT II. The pictures of him on webguy were so funny; at first he used duct tape to hold the glasses together, then started using white medical tape. Eventually the frames wouldn't stay together so, he wore his own.

    I agree with you; seems odd that there is only one Ga appt so far. And that one was probably an LOA since it was back in Dec. We live north of the ATL metro area in Milton/Alpharetta. I have one son at the Academy now. Thought going through this a second time would be easier...wrong. DS...

    Don't miss an opportunity with MIDS/Cadets

    Spring break with Cadets I am thrilled to be hosting 6 cadets for USAFA spring break. Can't wait to sit back and listed to their stories; my son and his classmates will have just completed their Recognition training and will be with us at the beach for some much needed rest and relaxation...

    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    We've done the same thing for my DS-don't have to accept the scholarship offer from his plan B school until May, but we did go ahead and put in the housing deposit.

    Class of 2016-Mailbox Stalkers Club

    My son got the call from our senator the first week of April last year-also during our spring break. The BFE arrived about one week later. We're waiting anxiously again this year with my younger DS...it doesn't get any easier.

    When would a MOC know if a person is not DODMERB qualified?

    Went through this last year My DS had a similar situation last year; nom to USNA, LOA to USAFA. A candidate on one of our Senator's Air Force slate ended not being medically qualified so my son was then given a nomination. This happened the first week in April. DS is now a C4C at the Air...

    Xmas ideas?

    Gifts for doolies My DS is a doolie; his girlfriend is getting him a new wallet and some cologne (don't know how that will go over at USAFA). He has joined the ski club so Santa is bringing him goggles, snowboarding pants, and snowboard/ski accessories. Find out what clubs and...

    Can't believe DS will be home in 2 days

    Home safe and sound Retrieved my C4C from the airport earlier tonight. This is his first trip home since leaving for BCT in June. So, so happy to have him here and grateful for the time we'll spend together. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Happy dance at the mailbox!

    The mailman was good to us today-he brought a letter congratulating DS on his nomination to the USAFA! So excited for him; I realize we still have a wait ahead of us but its nice to know he has this part covered.

    Completed Application?

    All done except for the wait... My DS is finished with his application; got a post card from USAFA yesterday stating that his "file is now complete". All MOC packages are in (last one was due Oct 7) and interviews are being held first weekend in Nov. This is my second son to go through...

    Sure is Quiet

    reliving stress from last year Hard to believe that I find myself in the same situation as last year...we were so surprised when DS #1 got his LOA and subsequent appointment. Considering the pared down admission numbers, DS #2 might be in for a long wait; certainly not waiting for an LOA to...
