SAF, for those of you so inclined, I'd ask you to keep one of my classmates in your thoughts and prayers today. My friend has been throwing up for 3-5x or more, almost every day since January. He has lost almost 30 pounds and is honestly a shadow of the fun-loving kid he used to be. The...

Once again, greetings to all my fellow SAF folks. For those who don't know, I'm currently a female, sophomore in high school, located in Hicksville, USA ;) for a few years now, I have become very interested in attending USNA, with my career after that unknown. Some stats for you, I am ranked...

This is a debate I've been mulling over in my head for months now, and I'd love to hear what others think about it. My high school hired a new principal my freshman year- last year. He has made some radical changes to my small school (~140 class size). Some good, some bad. His new brainchild...

Hello everyone- To achieve my goal of becoming a Marine officer, I know that the leadership side of my persona needs some improvement. The only 'official' leadership I have held to this point (sophomore year) is team co-captain of the varsity cross country team. As team co-captain me and my...

Hello everyone, I am currently a high school sophomore interested in pursuing a career as an officer in the Marine Corps via NROTC. My #1 school had been the Naval Academy, but after realizing that I was not guaranteed a Marine slot, I started to look at other options. My question is this...

Hello all, I've been a member here for around 2 years now, but I just recently logged back in. Attending a service academy, specifically USNA, has been a dream for quite sometime. Before everyone jumps all over me, yes, I am aware that you can't tell me what my chances are, and that's not what...

Hello everyone- I've been doing some research. I have wanted to go to the AFA for quite some time now, due to the fact that I've wanted to fly my entire life. I only have one issue- the degrees offered at USAFA do not match up with what I wish to be after my service obligation is up. I want to...

Hey guys- I know WP takes HS competitiveness into consideration, and that's where my problem is. My HS is not the best one around. On a grading scale, we usually average a C. There is a very good private HS in the area, but its around 30 minutes away from my house and too expensive for my...

Hey y'all! I have a slight issue with AJROTC. I would join one, I know that it could help me see what a military life is like. The issue is my high school doesn't have one. Is it possible to join another HS? Or am I just out of luck? Thanks.

Great game by Army. Just came up a little short. The look on Trent Steelman's face absolutley broke my heart. The emotion he was clearly showing brought me to tears. What did you guys think? Go Army!

Yes, it's me again(: Does anyone have any informative books about USAFA? I looked at our library and Amazon, but the selection was very limited. In particular, I looked at Honor, and a couple of others that I cannot remember the titles to. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am doing a 7-15 page research report on the AFA. Can any cadet give me some information on daily life, plebe summer (Not sure what it's called at AFA, my only experience is with USMA and USNA) graduation, branch options, summer training, and life...

I am seriously considering attending West Point, and I was wondering how my activities look so far. I have earned straight As for most of my life, at a state-accredited private school. I am very involved in my church's youth group, and we often do community service i.e. helping out the elderly...
