The statement that "there is no god" would create just as much of a potential hostile environment as someone writing "there is a god". Doesn't matter if it is a fact or opinion. Think of all the things people say about other sexes, races, etc. In many cases those are not facts but opinions...

In the event anyone else needs this information, here is scholarship information that I received directly from USAFA: Scholarships: . The checks would be made payable to US Treasury and memo the student’s full name and social security number. Mail checks to: HQ USAFA/FMF, 2304 Cadet...

A member of our Parents Club has a daughter at USAFA who will be getting a scholarship from their church. Who at USAFA could they talk to about the rules or regulations governing scholarships? They (and the church) want to make sure they handle it correctly. Thank you.

We can relate to your situation. We are non-military and my daughter did not even think of USAFA until the spring of her junior year when we were looking for summer camps to go to. The USAFA summer Seminar came up when we Googled for summer camps. She thought it sounded interesting so applied...

I am also not military so do not know if this year is the norm or not, but we heard through our parents club that about 2/3's got their first choice, with the remaining 1/3 getting their 2nd choice (except for a handful of cadets that got "needs of the air force" assignments). Obviously not...

My daughter, who is now a senior at USAFA, had the following scores: Basketball Throw 46 feet Flex Arm Hang 22 seconds Shuttle Run 9.9 Situps 71 Pushup 40 Mile run 6:40 As a qualifier, my...

Our daughter had PRK in January of her junior year (she is now a senior). Her and 2 friends had it done at the same time, and the pain/recovery was different for all 3, but all 3 are pleased with the results. She did have to give us skiing for the rest of the ski season but for her it was...

The reason for staying until the end of the game could simply be no more than "impressions". With virtually all football games televised today, how would it look if at the end of a game the television camera pans over the USAFA student section and it is almost empty. That would be typical at a...

At time of admission my daughter also struggled with pullups. She did the flex arm hang for her CFA. She is at USAFA now and last spring did 5 pullups. What worked for her was doing reverse pullups. This is where you start in the pullup position, which may require someone to help or having a...

Make no mistake about it, football revenue is the driver of revenue generation for colleges and universities. That is why all the conference re-alignment that has occurred in the past few years and will occur again over the next few years is driven by football programs, not any other sport, not...

I would just be interested in what other parents are hearing from their cadets as to how they are being affected by the government shutdown. I know USAFA has released information in a broad nature, but just curious as to how individual cadets are being impacted, if much at all. For...

With regard to A-Day, I will let someone else respond as I have not kept up on that this year, but with regard to Parents Weekend, if you go to the USAFA website on the lower right-hand side of the page are various topic you can click on for more information. One of them is Parents Weekend. It...

Thanks buffalo for your reponse. I have to plead ingnorance, but what jobs are there for OR majors in the Air Force and what type of jobs in the civilian force would an OR major with work experience from the AF obtain or pursue. (My daughter probably already knows this but I am trying to...

Thank you. That's helpful.
