    Cadet Life questions?

    My son attends the USAFA. As a doolie, he didn't have a lot of extra time.He had some weekends that he had military training and couldn't leave or had very little time. If his squadron didn't pass their knowledge test as a group, no one left for the weekend, Homecoming or already purchased...

    Flights Home for the Holidays

    My cadet just informed me of the days he could fly home. My question is can I buy his ticket or does he need too? He is checking on his end to see if he can get any kind of discount. Anyone out there know?

    Helicopter Parents

    My son is a cadet at another service academy but I agree totally. Leaving him for the last time was the hardest thing this mother has ever experienced. Cutting all the apron strings at once was the most painful thing I have ever felt. Yet, I am amazed at the growth my son has done in the last...

    Concern Over CFA Scores

    With what Christcorp said, if they want to have him retake it, they will ask. He should continue to try to improve his scores and get as close to Max as he can. The reason I say this is 1) if they do ask him to retake it, he's ready. 2) if he gets an appointment and reports for induction day...

    Documentary Filming-Cobra's

    I remember that board and thinking I was glad my son wasn't on it. On that day, we didn't want any extra attention. I am excited to see it though. :smile:

    ACT Scores

    Scores look solid. The Academy super scores so take it as much as you want to try to improve each area. Our son took the test 3 times. His finals were 35M 33 Sci 33 R and 28 Eng. He also took the SAT's. But remember, you can have high scores but you need to be well rounded, also. Be sure...

    Get first letter from your Basic?

    I so relate to OBXmom. The last this and the last that. We even had the last meal together. The webguy is a wonderful thing for the mental health. Whenever I see our basic, I at least know he's not sick or injured (Knock on wood) and he's staying strong. As far as letters are concerned, I'm not...

    What do you do when you dont make the cut?

    Here's some good news. You have to remember that not everyone who receives an appointment is accepted to Boy's State or NASS, or has a Eagle Scout. You have to make your Whole person score the best you can and there are a variety of ways of doing it. My son has an appointment to the USAFA...
