My parents are coming to Rhode Island for the NAPS parents weekend (Oct. 5-8) and are looking for a place to stay. Does anyone have any suggestions for places nearby (preferably near Newport and on island)?

This is an interesting and inspiring story. It says he's going on to law school - does that mean he's going to work restricted line jobs or is he being discharged because of his injury...

It's commonly said that only the top students have a realistic shot at tracking into the T-38, and ultimately into fighters. About a year and a half ago when I was at Columbus AFB for a week mingling with some of the UPT students, it seemed that not many (at least compared to what I expected)...

Quick question: When the requirements to be pilot qualified vision-wise state 20/40 uncorrected (Navy/Marines) or 20/70 uncorrected (AF), can you be worse than those numbers uncorrected as long as you get corrective surgery that gets your eyes up to 20/20? Or do you need to meet those numbers...

As my signature shows, I've been accepted to NAPS and have the principal nomination and am 3q'd for USAFA (so I should get a BFE one of these days :thumb:). In my DoDMERB eye exam, the optometrist told me my left eye is at 20/25 and my right eye is at 20/50. I want to fly, and I know this is...

I just received a packet in the mail yesterday from the Naval Academy accepting me into the Prep School! Has anyone else here been accepted there?

I just talked to a staffer in my Senator's office. I had got a letter from their office 2 days ago saying I was nominated by the Senator for USAFA. Today I found out that I was the principal nominee! I am 3q'd as well. I can't wait for the appointment offer... Does anyone know whether the...

I just got a letter in the mail 10 minutes ago from my Senator saying he has nominated me to the Air Force Academy. I haven't been able to contact his office to find out how I was ranked, but I wanted to get a rough estimate of what percentage of candidates to USAFA with a non-principal...

My Marine XO has told me that I came very close to getting a scholarship on the early board for Marine Option NROTC, and that my chances for the regular board are very good. However, he wants me to consider changing my 4th and 5th choices for schools to historically black colleges that are on...

I got my updated Dec. ACT results in the mail just over 3 weeks ago. When I originally signed up for the ACT, I ordered the results sent to USAFA and USNA. My old results from the ACT are still present in the portal with no change. Can anyone tell me approximately how long it takes for the...

I just got back my Dec. ACT results the other day, which have also been sent to USNA. I got a 31 composite (27 science, 27 math, 33 english, and 35 reading). I've seen on these forums people repeatedly state that USNA will weight the math section more than the english section for the ACT. Can...

I submitted my final application to my congressmen back at the very beginning of November (well before their deadlines) and still haven't heard back from them. An informational letter from one of the congressmen when I submitted my final packet said I could possibly be contacted for an...

Here's my problem. I applied to USAFA as well as USNA. Since I took the CFA for the Air Force Academy, I want to transfer those scores to USNA (it's the same test, after all). I know USAFA tells candidates how to do this from other service academies, but the Naval Academy doesn't tell how to do...

108 years of aviation! Just thought I'd note the occasion.

When I tried today to log in on the NROTC page to see the status of my application for a Marine Option NROTC scholarship, the birthdate was the same, but my social security number (the last 4 digits) were different. This seemed strange, especially since I had to use my SSN to log in. I tried it...

How long after a ROTC board does it take to be notified whether or not you've been selected (particularly for Marine Option NROTC)?

I'm thinking about dropping Calculus come second semester at the end of January. Problem is, I've put it down for my Marine Option NROTC application. What kind of process would I have to go through to notify someone, and how would that affect my chances of getting a scholarship?

The Marine Option NROTC board should be meeting this Monday I've heard. Does anyone know how many applicants there are (for the West coast in particular, but also nationwide)?

I completed my M.O. NROTC scholarship application back in September. Recently I retook the pft (scored a 280). While there, the Capt. administering the test mentioned that for the early board there will only be 16 scholarships award on the west coast (Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon...

I just had the final teacher eval finished two days ago and now everything is finished, including my packets being sent in for a nomination. Am I on par for getting everything in or not?
