Those a day tour you can go on. But majority of the time appointees come by themselves for the three day trip. If you come out here with your child you will have to find things to entertain your self with, as they will be running around doing/seeing a lot at Usafa. The first day they have a...

There’s usually a bunch right at the end of the school year. I only know of those two because I signed up to host during them. I haven’t seen any more come across our emails recently though.

Also don’t make a rap song. Very bad. Gets you noticed very quickly. Right when the juniors and sophomores learnt hey are working bct, they start watching social media for ridiculous things that appointees are posting.

There is a Preppie appointee tour on 7 March, that is only for incoming cadets who attended the prep school this past year. They will only be with cadets for lunch. There is a Appointee Tour for incoming basics that are either coming out of high school, another college, etc. directly into Usafa...

You can also watch the KAFA Facebook page. Cadet photographers and professional photographers post their photos on a Flickr link there. (I did it last summer) and you get to see some shots that you won’t see on webguy (cadets are able to go where Kelsie and Karina (the webgirls) can’t go (aka in...

I love being told by old teachers from high school “oh honey, you were so smart in high school. Why did you go enlist? You were so much smarter than enlisting. You had so much going for you”

I didn’t go to SS and I’m about to graduate in May from USAFA. Just try to go visit Usafa before I Day to get a feel for the place. Sometimes, based on how well you do at SS then you have a better chance of being accepted to Usafa. However, you have already been accepted so that doesn’t matter...

I would actually suggest going to as many summer seminars as possible because each school is different

You can attend both of them. There’s no rule saying you can’t go to two different academies. I attended summer seminar at Usafa and at coast guard and did candidate visits to navy.

Trust me the Lts in admissions are working really hard on this. But like the military they have many other things to do. This week they have been hosting interviews for the next wave of admissions Lts (im a hopeful). Just give it some time and you will learn soon enough. When you get to Usafa...

For clothing, bring a jacket and jeans and a sweatshirt. It will be very cold on the tzo and at the Air field.

I host a lot of FVE’s (unfortunately on stand by for this one) but it’s really helpful for people who are interested in usafa. You get to attend classes, go to the Air field, see the special classes, go to the gym, live in the dorms with your host, see how a Cadet day really is, eat mitches...

Also watch on the Kafa Facebook page. It’s run by Cadet photographers and professional photographers that work with yearbook. (Kafa is free, but may not show everyone cuz we have other jobs to do as cadets)

And if your not sure about back up plans or haven’t had the chance to really take a look at the schools, sign up for summer seminars, admissions visits, candidate visits, etc.

I am a senior at Usafa and can honestly say that this place was my first choice, but all of my back up schools were other academies or rotc. I could have gone where ever I liked (sometimes regret choosing sa over rotc) but in the long run this will be better. I’ve learned a lot in my 4 years...

From what I understand that’s sometimes what happens. My bct year had a couple people drop out and med turn back for class of 2019, but they weren’t in the same squadron they would have been if they finished with 2018

Those dates won’t be released or determined for a bit longer. As someone who recently worked bct at usafa, the schedule isn’t really predetermined until bct is right upon us.

Hey are allowed, just not during bct, tests, certain military events (unless you want to run the risk of it breaking), and during certain classes I’m wearing a Apple Watch as we speak. You just need to make sure it’s on silent mode.

We do, it’s just called the vegetarian option or finding where they placed the salads that day. There’s always fruit at mitches, and hard boiled eggs in the morning.

Combat troops are still getting paid. Every military member should be reviving their pay check on the 1st. Not 100% sure about rotc or how it works, but that is what we were told by the Commandant at USAFA
