Good. Keep pushing ahead. I know there's some discouraged young person out there reading all the things on this site that make them think they have to be the star quarterback and point guard, all-conference miler, president of the student council, AND dating the head cheerleader (or whatever...

Sweet indeed. I hope whoever it was in admissions that made the extra effort to get him admitted knows how things turned out. Their intuition about this one was spot on (maybe even better than mine, his own father). I hope and pray the rest of his career with the Air Force is as successful as...

Hello all! It's been a while since I've posted anything here, but I have a story that might be encouraging to someone out there. My DS wasn't a jock (he played on the tennis team just to check the box). He aced all the AP classes offered at his high school, joined CAP, and had great test...

No disrespect, but I've seen both the Thunderbirds and the Snowbirds and there is NO comparison in the intensity of the two shows. If the Thunderbirds can't do it, leave it alone.

DS has had a great time with the flying team. It takes some effort, but they seem to have a lot of fun and they get to wear their flight suits a lot. He tells me they feel like wearing PJ's to class. The selection process was strung out over several meetings and events with a gradual...

Assignments Interesting discussion about random verses directed OPS assignments for rising C2C's. My DS is a rising C2C astro eng major with an excellent GPA. He was initially given one assignment in the part of the world known as the "sandbox" that he was relatively pleased with, then...

Awesome. HUA!

Your nurse is right, odds are really, really good that it is an innocent murmur. If the echocardiogram turns out normal, then you are normal. Can't imagine DODMERB would have a problem if the echo is OK, but there are others with more insight to that. Have a good Memorial Day weekend and...

Roman, For those of us who live in the real world of human relationships and the emotionally charged atmosphere of divorce, I can tell you that in our situation it was great to take DS to orientation and be there on acceptance day after BCT (we had 12 hour drive, but it was well worth it!)...

Now, of course, traditionally if you want to "ELUDE" having sex you join the French Foreign Legion, unless we intend to allude to alternative lifestyles. :shake: Couldn't resist!!! :wink:

I asked DS about sending in money to secure a spot at one of the other schools just in case and his response was "absolutely not, if things get tough, I don't want to know I've got another option!" Worked out OK :thumb:

Go Grannie, go grannie, go grannie, GO!!

Just wanted to say thanks to all the upper classmen for your efforts in training the 4*’s this year. My son has told me he’s looking forward to developing his own leadership skills and putting the skills he’s learned from you to work for the classes to come. I can’t think of a better compliment.

I retrieved it for you :shake: http://www.usafawebguy.com/

Is it just me or did it just get really cold in here? :wink: Anyway, I'll be rooting for Mars Girl to do really, really good, just like I was rooting for Mars Boy until the unfortunate cartoon incident. Here's to youthful exuberance :beer1:
