Hello everyone, I'm a sophomore and was recently admitted to the hospital and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Every source has told me that no diabetic kids have ever been accepted to a service academy. Ever since I was a little guy I've wanted to be a pilot in the Air Force and then...

I'm going to take pre calculus this summer through an online program offered by BYU. then i'll take both Ap calc Ab and Bc to get me ready for the AF academy. that's just me though

when the navy gets F-22s, let me know. then i'll consider annapolis. just can't go against the best fighter ever built

The knee injury to shaun carney turned out to be a probable ACL and MCL tear. Luckily he's planning on becoming a graduate assistant next season so it won't affect his pilot training chances.

Knowing that about the number of pilot slots for navy/marines, I would guess that there would be even more for Air Force. 90% for Naval aviation is a big surprise for me. It seems like they would advertise that stat more than they do now.

I talked to an ALO (my dad's old USAFA buddy) about Honors/AP. He told me it is good and looked upon really well. However, he told me that even with harder classes you need to get about a 3.7 or 3.8 GPA to stay competitive for admissions. I'm in one right now and have two planned for next year...

I want to start my preparation on the PAT now so I can get a high score when the time comes. Does anybody know what is on the test and how many to do of each item to get a maximum points? thanks

good information, thanks for the quick response stealth

Hi everyone, i'm only a freshman, but I was wondering what time is appropriate to begin contacting my ALO. If someone could help me that would be awesome.

sorry, but my air force boys will make sure that doesn't happen

Awesome I was there. my sister, dad and i came all the way from Colorado to see it. It was worth it, a 43-7 shellacking. we also toured west point and had an amazing time.
