    Failing Knowledge Tests

    I have been hearing that the Cadet Squadrons have been getting scorched this year on their Military Knowledge Tests. Just a couple of questions: 1. How important are these tests? 2. Is it typical for Cadets to have a hard time with them? Thanks for any perspectives on this.

    What happens when they return from Jacks Valley?

    I notice that the 2015 Basics return from Jacks Valley on the 23rd, that means that they have a week before the end of BCT (the 30th). I assume that they have to clean their field gear up and start turning their BCT gear in, but what else do they do? Also, there are 3 days of what is described...

    AFROTC - reboarded for a 4th time?

    Anyone else in this boat? I was just told by the AFROTC ALO that my DS is being reboarded a 4th time. I remember being told that people are typically boarded no more than twice and a third board is a rareity. I guess this is better than a flat out decline or denial, but I am concerned that this...

    Class of 2015 - Mailbox Stalkers Club

    Well it's March 1st and according to schedule the BFE's should start flowing again. I thought it would be good to start this thread so that folks who are still waiting on getting appointments for 2015 can let others know that the letters are going out. Good Luck everyone! :groupwave:

    Considering how competitive it is this year (and the impending reduction in class size), I am wondering if anyone has any perspective on how many appointments are offered from the national pool (people with nominations who were not offered appointment). It was my understanding that typically...
