    Stipend

    After basic, I had somewhere between $500-$700. Most of the times, they'll receive like $100-$200 during the first semester. Little more during the second

    Cell service

    Change cell services after you get to the academy because you don't know where you will end up dorming. Vandenberg works really well with verizon and at&t. I believe Sijan is okay with tmobile and sprint. I know this because I had tmobile in Sijan, and it didn't work, so I switched over to...

    T shirt size

    I'm a 17'er. All the shirts are regular sizes except the Physical Conditioning shirts (White and Blue). I normally wear Medium, but for those PC shirts, I need to wear a small.. Medium is loose, but it's not too bad.

    Cleats to bring to USAFA

    You don't really need cleats. I think it's a waste of money because I've only used it during BCT and never afterwards. I've seen plenty of basic cadets run around in their sneakers, so you'll be fine without them.

    CFA Pushups worry

    CFA isn't the biggest portion of your application. If you messed up, make sure you are very strong in other areas. And make sure if you get an appointment, you are physically fit for BCT.

    First Year Cadets

    Generally speaking, after parent's weekend you can keep your phone at all times with you (it includes electronics such as ipads, tablets, and ipods as well). HOWEVER, media privileges are up to squadron leadership. For example, at the moment, I'm not allowed to use media. However, many people...

    what new cadet should bring

    Does the underwear have to be white? I bought black ones because white ones are more prone to stains and I thought black would be better in the long run.

    BCT 2013

    is it okay if boxer briefs are black? I bought compression shorts and briefs in black because well black tends to stay more clean without stain for a longer period of time.

    Optometry Form

    I also have a question regarding this. Hopefully someone will be able to answer it... If not, I might just fax in the paperwork that I received from my eye doctor

    Security Clearance General Questions

    I finished the form, and I have some questions. What do they basically do to check my background? I'm just quite curious. (Worst thing I did was have disciplinary issue once in high school, which was listed in my application and passed). Do they call up the people I listed on the contacts...

    Renouncing Foreign Citizenship

    Thank you for your reply! I was freaking out because I thought I read somewhere that I needed to have it renounced before I-day. I'm going to call the Korean Consulate tomorrow because on their website it states that "upon receiving a foreign citizenship, your Korean Citizenship will be...

    My mom measured me... I also went to a tux shop just to double check my measurements. But honestly, my mom measured it more accurately. My normal inseam lengths are 32, but the tux shop measured it as 39... Just try to accurately measure it at home if you can For boots, my friend at AFA...
