I've been through 2 years of prep including ROTC FTP and these are just common things to make uniforms look more sharp... I doubt they would even take up more than a pocket In a backpack.. I just wanted to know if they are allowed or not Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

Would we be allowed through with something like short guarders (for blues) or blousing straps (for Abu)? Also, I know that rulers or tape measures make white collar beds much more efficient.. Are those things that can be brought? Sent using the Service Academy Forums® mobile app

That is awesome! Was that just in one class? We have already sent at least 1 if not 2 each year before this too, so that will leave our ROTC detachment having at least 7 maybe 8 out there at one time!

Just found out today we have 4 cadets heading out to USAFA from ONE AFROTC detachment! Seems like a lot of people from one area, and is pretty exciting! :biggrin:

Have you guys got your orders for getting sized for uniforms yet? Mine said the same thing until I got an email asking for me to go get sized. Now I can get it though.

I have a feeling that having comfy boots would stir the cadre on multiple levels, but lack of standardization would be their downfall eh?

I was reading through the instructions to appointees, and saw that appointees are able to purchase our 2 pairs of boots prior to field training. I will be buying my boots ahead of time, and am wondering if it is frowned upon by cadre to have the nike lightweights? I am currently an AS200 in...

Hey there. If you want any motivation to reapply PM me! I was declined originally from class of 2016 -- joined AFROTC and improved myself, declined again from class of 2017 -- continued AFROTC and continued improving myself, and will now be joining the class of 2018 on an appointment! No matter...

I got mine 26 January! MN-07

I got deferred from EA, then heard that I had an appointment the following week. I was told by my congressman on a Thursday, and got my portal update and letter 6 days later from USAFA.

I am from MN as well. Here in Minnesota, as far as I have heard, they try their best not to double up nominations between house and senate in OUR state. However, there are VARIOUS different ways you can be nominated beyond those two. Also to address the other post - if you were put on an...

There are a TON of upperclassmen on the group right now. Just be cautious :rolleyes:

Although the short stay was nice, I am suggesting that everyone avoids the group. More hassle than benefit is going to come from being in that group. And after getting my FaceBook rifled through as a AS100 ROTC, I can firmly attest that all should secure their accounts in the coming days.:smile...

Agreed - I'll throw one together quick. Everyone behave yourselves on there :biggrin: Here is the link to the new group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/787699277924676/

I'm really hoping I see a flood of everyone on here putting names onto the appointment thread by Wednesday! :)

Yeah did you hear that on here? I saw the same thing in a few posts but wasn't ready to take that to the bank.. I actually haven't heard of nearly any EA appointments thus far. I have a sneaky feeling they are going to hang on to any word until right up to the 15th...:help:

I am still waiting right with you! :confused: Pretty nerve-wracking!

Honestly the only way I had any idea on vacancies and competition for the year was to contact the nominations coordinator at my congressman's office. She was more than willing to lay it out for me. Also, as I understood it, the congressman's office is actually notified as to the number of...
