Even though the forms were released one after the other and some people may find this inconvenient, I found it to be helpful and exciting when a new form came out. I think there should be a reorganization of the priority list of what forms should come out sooner than the others (immunizations...

There really is no set date. I got my falcon foundation in early May and I believe it was the first wave of scholarships that were sent out. I had a friend that received hers mid July. It all depends on who accepts and declines. Your admissions officer could give you an idea of where you are if...

Can't say that I'm not biased towards NWP, but it was honestly one of the most rewarding 4 months of my life. I was a falcon last year at NWP and am entering for the class of 2018 at USAFA this year. If you have any questions about NWP, the acceptance rate, what the typical day is like, where it...

I have nike pro sports bras right now and swear by them... do they hold up well or will they be obliterated by the laundry? It just doesn't seem economical to me to purchase eight $10 sports bras that do a mediocre job while at BCT that I'll end up just throwing away and spending more money...

I know starting to amp up your workout can seem like it will take forever to see changes, but keep you head up. With running I found that if you run 3 to 4 days in a row, take a break for a day, and then pick up running again, you will see a drastic improvement. It keeps you motivated. Also...

That makes me feel better!

Oh if they have wired connection than that's no problem. Slower internet (if that's what the ethernet provides) is better than no internet. Thanks for the insight.

Words from the wise.

Hahahahah oh lawdy. How common is wifi trouble?

Ok. I'll leave my macbook at home and decide winter break if I want to bring it or not. *the biggest sigh ever* Is it worth it to pay for a hotspot? Is the Spotify web player laggy? I've heard rumors of Sijan and it's wifi.. as well as the network as a whole at USAFA being unpredictable...

So I am aware that cadets are issued laptops and that there is WiFi in the dorms... Can only the issued laptops connect to the wifi? Or can I bring my laptop and do some sort of security clearance thing for my macbook so it can eventually be allowed on the network? Can I download applications...

Yay! Welcome! There is a facebook group (there's actually 2... choose the one with more people in it... the other one is stacked full of upper classmen scanning for people entering BCT for the class of 2018, you don't want to get caught up in that) Here's the link...

Notice I said "civilian college route" meaning no commitment to the military whatsoever in college. Thanks but I am fully aware ROTC exists and how hard each student works while in ROTC, I don't need a rendition of the obvious. I didn't notice anything in his post about ROTC or OTS/OCS...

Haha you learn something new everyday. Thanks, I did not know that you re-enter during bct.

Ohhh, ok. I may have missed that first entry box. Thank you.

I know there's a lot about "what if you regret it"... But I'm gonna throw my two cents in and add to this. My boss is constantly talking to me about how he almost went to an academy and how he chose his wife over the academy... a part of me senses that he really regrets not going. This seems to...

I'm pretty sure for the "self-preps" (or "free agents" as the Durbeck's like to call y'all) have to redo your entire application aside from dodmerb (your medical exam is good for two years). Make sure to keep your essays that you wrote.. I'm pretty sure the topics are similar and it will help...

Haha ok, thank you.

Ok thanks. Also, I noticed that when I try and put my social security number on the bottom right of the page, it goes away. Has this happened to you? Do you think it's ok if we have part computer entry data and part handwritten data?

For Section 12 (Where You Went to School) It states: "Do not list education before your 18th birthday, unless to provide a minimum of two years of education history" Should I put all four years of my high school as I turned 18 in January of my senior year? Also, I received the FFS (Falcon...
