Additional info about marriage: Give your security office at least 6 months notice before you plan to marry. If you fail to report any foreign contacts that can severely jeopardize your clearance.

I commissioned about 2 months and I'm currently on track to start Intelligence Officer School next month. If you're curious about majors, I don't think it will make a difference in the selection process. Most of my USAFA peers (~50 grads) are Political Science or Geospatial Science majors. I...

Bottom line up front (BLUF): You won't get kicked out if you "fail" those two tests on the 2nd day. You will be expected to improve, and then pass the tests at the end of BCT. This is not difficult if you take advantage of the PT presented to you. Honestly, you have enough time to get back in...

Are you referring to managers for sports teams?

I feel that knowing a foreign language (Russian) has opened and will continue to open doors for me down the road. I spent a semester abroad in the Republic of Georgia, for example. Additionally, the Air Force has a program known as LEAP (Language Enabled Airman Program). They select service...

Do not take that class. It really was a waste of my time, and that time could have been used doing something more productive.
