About a week ago I submitted my Candidate Activities Record. Unfortunately, I did it in a rush and without the assistance of my father. For some reason I get anxious with the whole USNA admissions process and I have this feeling that I have to get everything sumbitted in a rush. The problem...

Howdy all, When I was at the Air Force Academy Summer Seminar, one of the professors suggested that we apply for other scholarships even though we don't need them for the Academy. He claimed that we can use them to pay for books and haircuts and stuff, so that we can get the full cadet pay...

I got rejected from SS - because of low SAT scores. I haven't received any official candidate stuff in the mail yet - probably because I haven't been deemed one yet. However my motivation to go to the Academy is 110%, and I want to get things rolling. I'd like to get in contact with my BGO...

Hey all, I'm attending a Society of American Military Engineers (S.A.M.E) Engineering and Construction camp at the Air Force Academy. It was fairly competetive to get into, and it allows you to spend a week at the AFA focusing on Engineering stuff. Is this something I can put onto my...

Hello, I had a few questions about the timing of your application. I took the SAT back in January and received 570 math and 590 CR. I take it again May 1st and I've been preparing so hopefully those scores will be in the mid 600's. Additionally, I hope to begin my Eagle Scout project soon so...

I recently got rejected from NASS due to low standardized test scores (my sophomore year PSAT). However, recently I took the SAT and received better scores. Is there any way I can update my SS file, because I dont want the Academy to deny me as a candidate because of low test scores. Or...

Howdy everyone. I'm a junior in high school and have been working hard my whole life to get into the Academy. Unfortunately, the other night I got in trouble for being in a college parking lot late at night with friends. The police searched my friends car and found a bottle of liquor that was...

This is a little off topic, but it does deal with the Naval Career aspect. If you are fortunate enough to get a pilot slot after graduation, and even more fortunate to get a jet slot: could you switch pipelines halfway through your career? I know i'm jumping the gun, but it is a good idea to...

how much consideration does the academy take in your police record? is it enough to break you? just wondering

Howdy. I'm currently aiming for USNA class of 2015. Furthermore, I'm aiming for a pilot slot. For the longest time I've wanted to choose the ASW/Patrol platform over the jet platform- mainly because I want to fly the P-8. Anyways, the P-8 isn't scheduled to replace the P-3 until 2014 or so. So...

The P-8 Poseidon will be replacing the P-3 Orion around 2013. Does anyone know how competitive it will be in flight school to get a spot flying the P-8. Is anyone else just dying for this plane to roll out?
