That's comforting to hear. Af2012: I know it may suck to follow a legacy like that, but hey, it's your chance to change it right? A girl from another school in my town got in last year when I didn't, and she quit fairly early into it. Needless to say I was quite upset that she got my spot and...

Yeah, I'm getting pretty apprehensive too. Mostly about physical conditioning. I'm trying to run more because that appears to be my weakness at the moment, so I totally understand what you mean.

Hey guys, I have a few questions about the swearing in ceremony on June 27th. My parents are driving me to Colorado so they can witness it and my Grandma is flying in to see it. However, in spite of how hard I look, I can't find any information on when it is. It's important for her to know...

You accepted well before orientation didn't you flyboy?

I accepted at the appointee orientation... no kit yet :-(

I've heard that we're going to receive both ABUs and BDUs, but I got an email regarding boot purchasing, and it only talks about buying the green ABU boots. This makes me think that if we are going to be wearing BDUs it won't be until after BCT, unless this is some sick trick to get us all to...

Thanks, I'm remembering this one. I know for a fact that I'm gonna break at BCT... multiple times. My goal is to set my self up so that I recover as quickly as possible and help those around me do the same.

I think we all figured that's what we'll be doing, but do you know of any good resources that set reasonable goals for these exercises? X number of pushups per day, X number of pull ups, etc.

Perhaps a good question would be, "Is there anything we should be doing now so that we make it through BCT?"

I haven't heard this exact story before, but I have heard from a Colonel who taught at the Academy that they really push the flight option for Academy cadets, but they're not as bad about it as they used to be.

If you're going for an intel or flight slot, I've heard that the Academy is more likely to generate one for you. However, I've also heard that there is still the good possibility of getting into either so long as you remain diligent and competitive, and from what I've read it sounds like you are...

I think you have a very good, objective attitude about the AF. I was just talking with an ROTC instructor yesterday who wanted to go to the Academy but wasn't accepted. He said that after you start your career as an AF officer <i>no one</i> asks what your commissioning source was unless they're...

Last year when I applied I received a letter saying that I did not get in by mid April. However, I believe they still could have sent another letter saying otherwise if a slot opened up. They just keep going down the line until all the slots are filled. Still, if you haven't heard that you've...

Cool. It's helpful to see how it all breaks down and factors in. That's a good goal to aim for, validating an extra AFT :shake: Thanks for the info.

I can totally see several reasons why having a good time for the AFT run would be helpful, but could you elaborate more on what direct results come from having a good AFT score? Thanks.
