We live here in the springs. Let us know if we can do anything for you. Dave

There is a Hampton Inn Suites and residence inn off Interquest. Easy access to both North and South gates. The Academy, Drury etc are right outside the south gate and are fine but a little older. There is also a Hilton garden suites and Homewood suites off Briargate again easy access to both gates.

you might want to contact the 10SFS Security Force (police) at the Academy. Fill them in on the details so they can determine if your son has the card in his possesion. 719-333-4100 they will get with your sons AOC "Commander" and pull him aside to find out.

Your cadet will be covered by TriWest under TriCare Prime in the event anything happens during BCT and their time at the Academy. If the need medical attention the 10Med Group will provide that care while at the Academy. In the event they need services that are not available at the Academy they...

Dont be afraid to contact the admissions counselors at USAFA. It is very busy this time of year and updates can be slow.

We moved to Colorado Springs. Got the furniture in now working on the boxes.

I think in our case it has become a family business as much as an extended family. Our best friends have been made along the way. I will have to revisit this later, gotta get ready for the moving truck to bring our household stuff this morning. PS see you at the Army game Mike.
