The life insurance they offer is totally optional too.

Is it true the "incident" was in March 2011? Maybe just one man's opinion. I don't know.

well said Christcorp!

Emma, First thing I would add is "Love = Commitment". Maintaining a long distance relationship takes commitment, patience, and trust. Maintain communication with your BF as much as possible, and in as many ways as you can. During BCT, letters will have to do, and don't expect very many...

someone recently said.... recognition is BCT on crack. A lot of work, but you know the light at the end of the tunnel is only 3 days away.

Good photo! Didn't recognize you at first. :)

Thanks for the heads-up Dad. We were not happy with our hotel last year, and booked a different place a few weeks ago. I appreciate your ever outgoing helpful posts here. Thank you!

If getting in the Academy is that important to you, then get in a varsity sport. Track is one of the easiest for non-athletes to participate in. You don't have to be "top", just "good enough", and participate. Varsity sports does several things for you, that will help you succeed at any of...

Yup. Middle to end of March. The vast majority will go out this way. You may be all nervous and excited now... But if you get in, it will be a long tough year ahead.

Look here and see how you stack up. http://www.wafapa.org/documents/2015_demographics.pdf no mention of athletics. AFA wants a well rounded candidate.
