If USAFA truly is your goal, I'd say NWP. Granted, this is a risk vs. reward situation, and I don't think that I, nor any other of the Northwestern Prepsters could give you a solid answer based on the information provided. There's a lot going into this decision. Firstly, ask yourself what...

Is there any way to figure out which squadron you're assigned to prior to I-day?

Page 9 of the instructions to appointees handbook only provides an address for the transcripts to be forwarded to. I don't think they want them through email.

I'm in the same situation as you. However, when I emailed my counselor, she told me that I should send my grades from last quarter, as well as a grade sheet from this quarter as soon as possible. I was then instructed to forward a final transcript as soon as one of those is available. The...

I've been hunting around the internet to answer this question, but to little avail. What is the typical day for a basic cadet like, schedule-wise, both in the cadet area as well as in Jack's Valley? Also, say if I were to get sage green Nike SFB combat boots, would I not be allowed to...

I was in your exact same shoes last year! I chose NWP, and I couldn't think more highly of the program. You're making a great decision, and I just wanted to extend a congratulations on all your hard work to be selected for the Falcon Foundation Scholarship.

I heard from a 2013 Basic Cadet that his watch was taken away from him until A-day. As for the running, I'd assume most of that will be done in combat boots.

Well, when it opens up I'll be the first to let you know. Should be in mid-late April, if the application portal is to be believed. Maybe an appointee from last year could shed some light on the situation?

I was wondering the same thing. I doubt anyone has the answer though; it may be something new to the appointee kit. Looks like we'll just have to be patient. :thumb:

Well first off congratulations on both of your DD's achievements, they're very impressive. And I'm actually surprised to hear from someone else on the SA forums who heard from the FF this year, apparently only 60 scholarships were awarded. (budget cuts, possibly?) When you consider how small...

Hello everyone! Unfortunately, like so many others out there, I got a TWE from the USAFA. However, today I heard I had received a Falcon Foundation Scholarship. Anyone else hear from the foundation? Just curious. :smile: Right now I'm trying to weigh that with a 3 Year Type 2 AFROTC...

Thank you very much! :smile: I'm so eager to get started. I'll be visiting Detachment 695 this weekend.

Thanks for the insight, Blackbird. That was making me a tad nervous.
