Current cadets: Do the T-Shirts issued during BCT shrink at all/run big or small? I am typically a size large, but the form asking for my T-Shirt size says to order one size larger if unsure of the correct size. Trying to figure out if I should go with large or extra large. Thanks.

I have a LOA and a nomination. The only part of my app remaining is the CFA. However, it is definitely going to be the weakest portion of my application. I know that USAFA does not publish minimums, but are there actually minimums? I feel that if I am a strong candidate in that the rest of my...

Hello, I was just chosen for the DVP program for next week, October 15-19. The email I received was not very descriptive, and I'm sure I will receive more information soon. But in the mean time, could anyone who has done a DVP visit say a little bit about it? I.e. who pays for the flight out...

I am a 2019 candidate and am doing all that I can to learn as much about USAFA as possible. I have read here that "A Year In The Blue" is a great documentary, and I am interested in seeing it. However, I would rather not pay the $30 fee. Would anybody be willing to exchange it, or sell it for...

A very close friend of my family attended USNA and went on to become a Captain. Is there any way he could write any sort of recommendation for me or sway my application in any way? Thanks :smile:

I've been surfing these forums for many months, and I still can't for the life of me figure out what DS means. I know from context that it is used to refer to one's son or daughter, but what does it actually stand for? Sorry for asking such a stupid question...

Has anybody seen the National Geographic mini-series called "Inside Pararescue" that ended recently? I was just wondering if the helicopter pilots that fly the PJs to retrieve the patients are just Air Force helicopter pilots, or PJs that know how to fly.
