Hey, did you print out the pdf and then hand write everything? Or did you do it on the computer typing everything out? I wasn't able to type everything out, my computer wouldn't do it. Also, is it around 127 pages?

Contacted DoDMERB and they are the final say. As long as my surgery goes well on Thursday, May 17 I should be good. How much heavy lifting do you do in BCT?

What is USAFA's policy on hernia surgery? If BCT is June 28, do I have time to have surgery and recover before than?

I really don't think you have much to work on. Rather, just keep working. If you can do 4 pullups now there is no reason you can't get that to six by June 28. The pushups are good but just keep at them. Make sure you swim a couple of days a week as well, that will also benefit you. Other...

Thanks. Good luck, hopefully tomorrow we will receive our phone calls!

How did they receive notification? Through there congressman or senators?

Yeah I wish there were more of us! I'll see you in June though :biggrin:

Yeah the two of us here at Wewo got the same news from Gen. Kelly. :rolleyes:

We have not received them either. Good luck! Just keep working hard.

Have any other Falcon scholarship recipients received appointments for the class of 2016?

I'm going to a prep school this year.. GPA- 3.7 ACT-27 (I'm sure you know, but take this as much as possible. Get every section up to a 30 if you can.) I took a couple of AP courses I played Varsity soccer all 4 years in HS and played club soccer for 9 years I had a couple of jobs...

Do you know if this is different for falcon applicant's? It says, when I look at my status page, that they will set up my profile in early September.. I guess I'll just wait until then, but if anyone can confirm that, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Augustus (Gus) Jensen- Falcon Scholar attending Wentworth Military Academy in August! Hope to see you all in June! :thumb:

I ended up getting it! I will be at Wentworth Military Academy in August, and hopefully, if i perform well enough, I will be in Colorado Springs next June! :eek:

Augustus- Call me Gus- Oklahoma- Wentworth Military Academy- AFA '16 :thumb:

After graduating the USMMA, are you required to attend a specific service or is it open, in general, to all other services?

Thanks Mongo I do believe I was awarded a $5,000 scholarship to any of the five schools that I would like to attend, but not quite sure on whether or not I would be awarded it automatically after receiving the letter or if the Board still has to approve of it. I guess all I can do now is pray...

I was awarded the FF scholarship, but little did I know they gave more out then the number of actual spots they give. So, I sent my choice of Prep School into the USAFA this morning. Then, I called them and found out that I have been put on a waiting list because all of the 100 spots have been...

Thank you all for your input, and I have decided to go to Wentworth Military Academy. In complete honesty, I think all of the prep schools are good in their own way. If I do well and don't have any "Mess-ups", then I should be able to get into the USAFA the following year, regardless of where I go.

Steve Yes, my family will be able to afford the school. I am sure I want to do this, my ultimate goal is to reach the USAFA. But, if I am one of the "rare student.." that doesn't receive an appointment then I will be able to come back home and start attending a community college nearby. I...
