AT&T is by far the best all-around carrier for anyone at USAFA.

I agree on the cleats being useless. Never used them and it was one more thing to carry. (Metal baseball cleats?? Really? Why would you even think that??) Honestly - Bring nothing with you and you will survive. The compression shorts are good. Maybe boxers if you like them. There might be a few...

My dad gives me access to his Orbitz account and I book all of my own arrangements. This works better than having them try and book flights and keep up on my changing schedule.

Yes!! :)

So they still fly all the time even as FGOs? That is the opposite of what I have heard. It's nice to know that.

Thanks!

What does he have to buy for his plane? Doesn't the military get everything he needs? Or does he personalize it?

Does it work the same for the summers? My sister is getting married next summer (2106) and I was wondering how it works for summer training. Do I have to make arrangements to be allowed to go?

This sounds like good training. Does everyone get to do it or is it like soaring where some do it and others do something else?

Do you think it's better to get away or stay in town? My parents are looking at hotels in town and I can tell them to look farther away if it's better.

I know that people say that your major doesn't matter for being a pilot but are there any particular majors that tend to do better in pilot training?

Is Air Force training the same if you flunk out?

Q: Where are you going to school? A: The Air Force Academy R: Really? Which one? Q: Where are you going to school? A: The Air Force Academy R: But you're so smart! Why don't you go to college?! Q: Where are you going to school? A: The Air Force Academy R: Oh, that place is cool. We stopped...

Thank you for all of the answers. I am planning on being an officer regardless of the pay and I am just asking because the parents were talking about how little military officers make and if I was ok with that so I wanted to ask what the reality was. It sounds like the housing is a good deal and...

I have been thinking about the pay as an officer in the Air Force after graduation. I have some questions and I hope they don't sound too dumb. I have looked in other threads and there is some information but it is not exactly what I am looking for. What is the real pay for a new officer in the...

Did he have any trouble with requirements for the academy since he decided later on? I chose AFA about that same time and I felt like I was behind.

Could some more people post their scores? I know I have time before I take it but I want to get an idea of what successful pilots got. Maybe some posters who already went though it would post theirs?

It looks good. A lot more modern looking that the old style.

Does the AFOQT score really equate to a better pilot? What are some of the scores that people on this board got who later made it through UPT? From what I've seen the scores can range from 1-99, right? I guess my question is how accurate that the score can predict how good of a pilot you will...
