    2024 Job Drops?

    Had 1 wash out in my class during academics and 1 due to flying. They are reassigned to a different non rated (usually) job in the Air Force. If you fail after T6s now and you're non-ENJJPT you go to an FEB. Most have been getting a job choice in their top 5 after washing out but at that point...

    Changes to the 4/C “Training” System

    Sorry that wasn't my intention as my classmates and I have a huge respect for those who have come before us. You have all left a fine legacy that we aspire to follow behind. Like I said if you're involved with the AOG or similar program you're doing the right thing. The comment was more directed...

    Changes to the 4/C “Training” System

    I think she is on the right track even if it upsets graduates and current cadets alike. It's going to be a painful process but the right one. Just before graduation our AOC met with us and asked if we were to change things about USAFA, what we would do? It was a leadership exercise for us soon...

    Travel to USAFA from Denver airport

    Unless I'm missing something this shuttle company drops at the academy hotel which is non-DOD affiliated almost a mile off base. I would definitely recommend renting a car as well. Though it doesn't seem like the best option, trust me it is unless somethings changed since I graduated

    Travel tips to USAFA?

    All are restricted to a 150 mile radius from USAFA that weekend(unless you get special paperwork which most likely won't be approved as a 4dig) . This past year we went up to Breck (within distance) which was nice as a 2dig that didn't need the sleep. As a 4dig I would highly recommend staying...

    AFROTC vs. USAFA

    Right now the process is to get your eyes checked for PQ 3 dig year then the rest of the FC1 (flight class 1) physical your 2 dig year. This is the determination physical for pilot among with the various other jobs. In ROTC you only go get an FC1 after selected for a pilot slot your junior year...

    AFA wifi service?

    Your son would have to be in one of those squadrons that have a provider. The only squadron that I know who currently does it is CS-32. It's not as simple as calling up Comcast or AT&T saying you want to buy some internet. Boingo is expensive and doesn't work half the time, but it's all we have...

    My son's girlfriend

    As a current cadet that's been presented with this situation I would say no. Mine came out a month or two after between parents weekend and thanksgiving

    Running Shoes

    In the past shoes have been issued (2 pairs for 2019). If you are bringing some they need to be conservative in color per the CSP ( or whatever we are calling it now) and AFI 36-2903

    Advice for 2021 from a Current Cadet

    Make sure you have cash or credit/debit because very early in BCT you will be visiting the C-store to pick up required items. Later in BCT you will also be shopping at the C-Store and you'll need it again for that

    Compression Shorts

    I'm a male but working BCT. The physical conditioning shirts are partially see-thru. If you bring anything but white bras it will show through. At least when I went through BCT it was a big problem if they showed through. For the rest of your underwear go plain colors, but at least bring one or...

    USAFA Appointee Tour

    When I went on my tour 3 years ago my dad wore business casual as well like most of the parents. I've seen parents dress down too though

    USAFA Appointee Tour

    As in male chaperones you mean the cadets and 2nd LT giving the tours/taking them to classes? They will be in uniform which is either the Air Force blues uniform or Airman Battle Uniform most days

    Current cadet advice?

    If you are going on an afternoon tour most likely your tour guide will be a current cadet. I would have your son or daughter ask them the cadet life questions during the tour because things change from year to year so they'd have the most up-to-date info. The admissions type questions I would...

    These are the cadets that will be the cadre for Basic Cadet Training this upcoming summer. Not only are they learning how to perfect their own marching, but they are preparing to teach marching and lead the class of 2021 as well.

    What's in the uniform package?

    4 sets ABUs, 2 A-Jackets, PC gear, service dress, parade dress, fleece, PC gear jacket/pants, overcoat, raincoat ($300+), parka, hats, scarfs, socks. That's the stuff in your first year not including rental stuff (APECS, flight suit). Then I don't know if that figure includes it or not, but mess...

    Portal Down?

    No the server being down and that message should be two unrelated things. The entire USAFA outside connection was down so cadets couldn't get Internet either

    USAFA Visit

    Contact admissions to try and get a tour of the cadet area. On top of that just head to the visitors center and they can point you in the right direction. As said, if you can pull it off definitely do the Eagle's peak climb. Beautiful view from up there

    DSS careers

    I'm confused. Are saying you want an AFSC in aviation or to major in aviation at USAFA? There is no DSS or aviation major at USAFA. MSS is pretty much the same thing as a DSS major though the curriculum is slightly different especially being at a service academy.
