Not long ago, I would definitely have been one of those people that had no clue about the academies. I had only vaguely heard of West Point in a movie once. I think it really depends on what the military situation is like where you live. For me, there is very very little military...

I was looking at the list of clubs, and I noticed there aren't any frats listed. Does the AFA just not have any frats?

I know it sounds weird, and I know I'm doing a terrible job of explaining. I will spend some time figuring out how to put it into words. Also, I know another four academic years seems terrible, but for me, if it means that I am getting the good foundation I need for graduate school, then...

Ah, sorry I misread that. One of the biggest reasons is that I plan to make the USAF a lifelong career. I think that going through 4 years at the AFA will help open doors as I advance in my career (but I could be completely wrong about that).

I absolutely know what you mean about the AFA not being able to create leadership qualities, and that's not what I'm looking for. I think I already have those qualities. For example, in high school, I worked with my French teacher to start a chapter of the French National Honor Society. I am...

We don't have an AFROTC det, but Howard University, which is not too far away, does. I did speak with them a while ago, but we determined that due to my study abroad schedule as well as other things, AFROTC probably wouldn't work. We didn't discuss OTS, though. Would it be possible to get...

A lot of my friends have actually been asking me the same question. As of now, it looks like I might have more than one year to go. I was supposed to leave for a semester abroad in Japan next week. It sounds like it would be a summer program (because it starts so late), but it's just that...

Thanks Steve! That's definitely good to know. I think that based on everything I've done, I should be sitting in a relatively good position. Now I'm just waiting to see if my PCQ gets updated to Applicant status. Is there any way to get started on the application before they are sent out...

Hey all, I submitted my PCQ a few days ago, but in the mean time, I had a few questions. I know that legally, cadets must not have passed their 23rd birthday by July of their entry year. If I get in for next year's class, I will start off as a 22 year old. Do admissions officers look...
