    My son would have to leave 30 minutes early due to a high school orchestra commitment that is plays the violin in. He will be a junior this coming year, and we feel it is important for him to attend this seminar. Will it be a problem if we have to leave at 11:30? Thanks

    We are driving to Denver for a soccer tournament this weekend. I am taking my son early so we can tour the Academy. It looks like we will have to take the self guided tour on Friday. Is there anything we should know before we arrive? This will be my son's first time to see mountains. Thanks

    Pointing son in right direction

    He will go to Air force Academy soccer camp when he turns 12. I know kids change their minds. I just want to make sure he has a chance if that is the direction he still wants to go when he is older. He should have a lot of options with all he is doing. He does not want to fly. He wants to be a...
