    The Prep'15 Q&A

    For workouts its best if I told you about the PFT (Physical Fitness Test). Luckily for preppies, the PFT is the only physical fitness test they'll have to worry about. The AFT (Aerobic Fitness Test) is an additional test conducted at the Academy, not the prep. I will name off the testable...

    The Prep'15 Q&A

    I believe it does help somewhat. I do not have the honor grad ribbon, but a majority (either about half or more than half) of the prior enlisted students here do. The ribbon is a symbol of excellence in a time of great stress. Unfortunately for me, I had a 341 pulled, and I got a high 80 on the...

    personally, I applied during tech school winter 2013 and finished the application in mid Jan 2014. I was offered an appointment to the prep school about 3 months after I completed tech school. I had not received any awards in this short amount of time. Mind you, my tech school was 7 months long...

    Ask new C4Cs anything!

    :smile: So I've heard. We are still at the beginning and in phase 1. It isn't fun YET, but I expect it to get better as we go. My enlisted career was Airfield Systems; my machine was the TACAN.

    Swamped to the eyes with homework, but enjoying it none the less. Reminds me a lot of tech school with a lot more restrictions. The PFT is somewhat easy, the academics is a little challenging and I already have the military side of training down because Im applying what I learned during my...

    Ask new C4Cs anything!

    USAFA Prep/Falcon - any hope?

    Wise choice in contacting admissions. Again, don't lose hope. Reapply and apply to other service academies. One may favor your application than the other. The overall result is still a commission in the US military.
