    Graduation

    Just wanted to take a second and thank everyone on this forum( esp. ChristCorp) for all the information. It seems like just yesterday we were watching the bus pull away. It truly is hard to believe the journey is coming to an end. What a ride-the basic pics from Web Guy-PW's- football games...

    AFA Informant Program

    Haven't seen any mention as of yet in regard to the cadet's thoughts on this, so I thought I would let everyone know that they are NOT HAPPY. IF you haven't spoken with your son or daughter, you should. This is really hitting home to the student body.

    wyo uniforms classless?

    One last post-Both Boise and Utah State certainly kicked our boy's butts up and down the field. I for one had no problem with those games from any perspective. IMHO- playing in patriotic themed jersey's and then playing like a punk didn't set well with me. There's a way to win with class and...

    wyo uniforms classless?

    The problem I had with the Jersey's was the conduct on the field didn't come close to matching the words on the back-I played ball and there were many instances of just plain punk behavior during that game. How that player wasn't ejected is beyond me-if you watched the game the commentators went...

    Good Luck

    I wanted to wish all new basics good luck next week as you begin your journey. Seems like just yesterday we dropped off our rising C1, something BTW that is disputed every time I bring it up-I guess my viewpoint of time going by is a little different than those involved. Back on topic-be...

    Please help with some advice for my daughter

    Our daughter is going into her junior year at the Academy. I had the same trepidation toward this issue that you are currently experiencing. The overwhelming majority of the male cadets are like her brother's and she couldn't feel safer. With that said, the main advice that I would give any...

    Best way to get into USAFA

    I really don't want to keep this thread going... As parents of a recruited cadet, that was given "Blue Chip" status, I will provide you with facts as they pertain to our experience-near 4.0 gpa with AP and Honors classes-right at 2100 combined SAT-completed every application that every other...

    Cadet Loan Questions / Info

    This will definitely be my last post-Hard to argue with CC's logic here. My only point is when you borrow money you do have to pay it back and the markets may not be friendly at the start up point. Dollar cost averaging does lower market volatility and you do purchase more shares at low points...

    Cadet Loan Questions / Info

    The market just gave up all the gains for the day-what's new. I'm still having a hard time getting my head around investing borrowed money, but at least there seems to be a lot of work and thought put into the process. I did want to mention however, assuming 8% rates of return is extremely...

    Cadet Loan Questions / Info

    Undoubtedly everyone is entitled to choose what financial path to follow. Almost everyone finances the purchase of a car or a home. My point on my prior post was based upon years and years of seeing clients make assumptions that the ROR on their investments would exceed the cost of their...

    Cadet Loan Questions / Info

    Our kid is a C3C and have enjoyed reading the posts on this forum. As a Financial Advisor for the last 20 plus years I thought I would add my own 2 cents on this. I absolutely would encourage everyone to begin to invest as soon as possible, but I would venture a guess that the positive tone of...
