looking good man, but I'm gonna give you the down and dirty - ACT is crucial for the Academy, unless you go to college for a year. The year I applied out of high school, I had a 28 cumulative on my ACT. I then proceeded to do a year at BYU, worked construction, joined the BYU Golf Team, did just...

Good to hear, thank you.

If you cannot afford to go home during thanksgiving or Christmas, are you allowed to stay in the dorms? Or do I need to book a motel in Colorado Springs for the holiday? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I just recently was offered a full appointment (conditional on college grades) to the USAFA, and was curious if anyone could tell me where to email my immunization records? Someone on this forum said they were due by the 1st of June, and I have the forms, but I have no idea where...

Tell him to bring some melatonin pills, lock the door, and hit the sack... basic training is going to be a long time, and we're all going to see each other once we hit the mud. Once I say goodbye to my folks back home, it's business time. Can't wait to everyone!

Although I was not medically DQ'd last year, I was put on the waiting list. Let me tell you what I did during the time to earn an appointment this year. First, I got a job doing construction in Hawaii. There I worked 55-65hrs a week. I earned enough for my first year of college, but my...

Now till the first week of April... after that, expect to be wait listed. Trust me, I know from experience.

Best Advice I have ever received from a dietician - "Eat for calories, drink for hydration." Exercise for an hour a day, and eat a negative balance of nutritious calories (use olive oil instead of butter, fish, etc...). You're body will not only melt off the pounds, but it will build much needed...

Well Pima, I'm not going to lie, it would be an absolute nightmare if I worked my rear off for 4 years to get a 3.5+ GPA in Chemistry and end up as a logistics officer. I understand that officers serve the Air Force where its needs lie - I'm just trying to find out if the Air Force's needs, and...

I'm actually a Junior. I am a re-applicant (was in High School last year), but you make a totally valid point, is it worth it. I know the academy provides Amazing opportunities, but after tasting rejection once before by the Air Force, I don't think I could stomach a rejection to one of the...

Hello again everyone, I am an aspiring doctor that has been accepted to the AFA. I'm curious how competitive the slots are for Medical and Dental grad school. I would like to be in the surgical forces of the Air Force, but I am two years away from going to medical school on my own dime from...

Hello everyone, I'm getting ready for basic training and was curious if any of ya'll had any suggestions. I'm trying to get the boots that they issue us, but I don't how to get ahold of those. I would like to break them in before if it is possible.

Just to give you guys a reference, I've passed with these scores: B-ball toss - 66ft pullups - 9 Shuttle run - 7.8secs situps - 70 pushups - 73 mile run - 7:13 Ya'll are fine. Good Luck!
