    Oh the joys of unfocused eyes..

    Once again, thank you all so much for the feedback. Yes, I do understand that there is a greater purpose for joining the Air Force than to fly, and I could definitely still see myself in the service doing some kind of ground job if flying didn't work out or I changed my mind, as mentioned...

    Oh the joys of unfocused eyes..

    Alright, so I went to an eye doctor the other day, and for the first time found out my official eye sight numbers. They came in at 20/100 uncorrected and 20/20 corrected. This is much worse than I thought it would be, and may have put a dent in my flying dreams. From what I have gathered...

    GPA Question

    From my understanding, it is an unweighted GPA that they use. But they also adjust to some kind of standard based on classes taken also I believe? Someone else here could probably give you a better answer, but I am pretty sure it is unweighted.

    Contacting my ALO

    When would you all suggest that I first make contact with my ALO? As I've said before, I'm still a Sophomore in high school, is it too early to shoot them an e-mail? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Jordan

    Question for current AFA cadets

    So, there is only one thing I'm not exactly clear on. I am not exactly sure HOW you validate a class yet. Do you just take a test showing you're proficient? Show that you've scored high on AP tests for that subject? Or is it something else?

    Contacts?

    That's kind of what I assumed. I'm just glad that they let cadets have them back after BCT! Those things really are ugly.

    Contacts?

    Quick question here. If I wear contacts, would I be allowed to use those at the Academy? Or would I need to get glasses instead? Thanks!

    IB Program + other questions

    Thank you very much! I'm going to go talk to the IB coordinator soon, and discuss the possibilities further. I'll just have to see where it goes I guess!

    IB Program + other questions

    Thank you all for your extensive input! It is quite helpful to me. My school does offer the full 4-year IB Program, and I chose not to take the Pre-IB for 9th + 10th grades. This was before I was even considering the Academy. At this point, I do maintain all A's, and I only have 1 AP class (AP...

    IB Program + other questions

    Hello, I came across this website today and found a lot of great information on the Academy, and I have a few questions of my own, so hopefully someone can help me out. I am a Sophomore in High School, and I have an absolute passion for flight. I have a student glider license, and plan on...
