Yes he was at USAFA prior to the BCs arriving and we knew he was staying on a BC floor- so he left candy. Maybe USAFA lives up to its Zoo nickname with the public being present at 4th of July celebration- hence the tradition of throwing food to the new animals.:shake: I told him not to leave...

Son #2 is just there for a sports camp.

I have a son that attended USAFA so when his little brother went to camp in COS a few weeks ago he told him "leave candy in the back of the drawers" for the Basic Cadets. (apparently my son has a fond memory of finding and eating laffy taffy, but so afraid his Cadre would find the wrapper - he...

My son hopes to attend West Point or USAFA. He has Pectus excavatum. The Dr. said it is up to us whether or not to fix it. My son does not like the look of his chest but no medical reason to fix. Does untreated Pectus excavatum cause a DODmerb flag? If we proceed with the surgery will it be a...

Don't give up hope, most coaches have their list of players done in the fall for this coming year. You may just be, behind in the process/timeline. They will have open tryouts, cadets have walked on to teams. They will offer soccer as an intermural sport during BCT, get out there and play...

As a parent I will share with you, how IDAY went down for us. First we offered to go out early and “hang” together as a final family hurrah… that was quickly nixed as my son made it quite clear that he would be spending every moment until June 23rd with his friends. Fine. We flew out on our...

Ah... I remember last year when they posted the article of Mr. Eagle Scout who planned to be the first on Mars :rolleyes:. That article was over the top. Regarding this article he is just the opposite, I don't hear any boasting, I read about someone who has had a crappy start to life and work...

According to my son's ALO he was a "blue chip" recruit. I believe that designation helped with his acceptance from a GPA point of view. His coaches did "babysit" his application. Could he have made it in with out the athletics? it would have been close, he had a 35 ACT. His GPA was low due to...

Not sure about what AFA allows but here is a supplier for military oakleys. If you are a gov't employee/military you get oakley for 50% off :) https://secure.usstandardissue.com Gascan model looks nice.

Thanks, my concern is more that he is injured than sick. He is an IA, and the last thing I want to worry about is an injury. I have been writing him daily, hopefully the mail will bring us some positive news. Thanks for taking the time to investigate.

Great, just what a Mom needs to worry about. I don't suppose they update the parents.

Not sure how to paste, page 12 picture 30

And my son has some type of blue belt going diagonally across him. ( he is a hellcat) he is the only one wearing it ? Does he have a scarlet letter already ?:eek: Please tell me this is nothing bad !

Congressman called last week with good news, however, no update on application page :confused:

Thanks everyone for the responses, maybe he was just having a bad week at school ? This weekend he wore his AF sweatshirt everywhere and told everyone he was going to school there ? He has been out for an official visit, he did enjoy that, but weeks later he recanted said no one seemed to...

My son is being recruited to the Air Force Academy as an athlete. We have no military history in our family. He went for a visit and seemed to have a great time, came home said AFA was on the top of his list ( he has other D1 athletic opportunities) All of a sudden he is saying he isn't sure...
