Who exactly is considered belonging to a particular class (example 2017)? Who gets to say " I am so and so, Class of 2017. Obviously someone who started BCT and graduated USAFA is a given. What about someone who: 1) started BCT and quits or does not finish BCT due to injury 2) started BCT and...

The hats have been tossed. The roar of the Thunderbirds fly-over a memory. The Commissioning ceremonies all done. The CACs no longer having "cadet" as rank. And finally the car loaded up tight with stuff for the first duty station. WE ARE DONE! After four long and yes, some stressful years...

My question is what happens to the newly minted 2 LT after graduation and after leave. I know they report to their base of assignment then...??? Do they get sent for training right away? Do they get assigned jobs right away or are they like " come in tomorrow and we'll find something for you...

This was posted on the 2017 page. Im a little confused because I thought BCT 2 started with the march to JV. If this is true, what will the basics do between now and then? Again thanks from a clueless parent.

Somebody asked me if webguy or something like that service was unique to USAFA or the other SAs have it too? I didnt know what to tell her. If it is, then I feel so lucky that we have this for USAFA and it does take away a lot of anxieties for the parents. Just seeing a smile or a thumbs up...

What are the immediate expenses that will be incurred on the first day and the days after I-day? How much money do people give their kids? Will we need money while doing BCT or is everything provided? I know most things will be in the packet but I just want to get a jump on this (i.e. do I...

this question was asked of me today... why would someone want to go to a military academy and subject oneself to 4 years of "torture" and not 4 years at a civilian college doing rotc and have the "college experience" when there is no clear advantage after graduation? - meaning everyone becomes...

somebody asked me about the stipend for cadets and i didn't have the answer to this. the current 2013 pay scale puts academy cadets at $1006.+ per month, what is the take home pay after everything is taken out and what is taken out of that amount (uniform, food, computer???) thanks.
