In the appointees book, its says not to bring more than one piece of luggage. Does an athletic duffel bag and a backpack count as one or two pieces of luggage? The reason I'm asking is the duffel bag is kinda smaller and if I pack everything in it, it's tight but my airline allows one carry on...

Hello. Quick question. On I day, which entrance should 2020 use? Northgate or southgate? I imagine once we are actually inside there will be signs showing which way to go, but for the sake of the taxi driver and whatnot, which gate should we enter through? Thank you

Hello. I have some quick questions regarding webguy and AOG. My parents were specifically looking at it mainly for the pictures during BCT and the academic year. I've heard from many parents that it was worth the price. Is it better to get webguy for 1 year, 2 years or just pay for the AOG...

Hello. I have a quick question regarding I-day and specifically arrival. My hotel is like 2.5 miles away from the Academy. Right now, I have the generic 7:00 am show up time on the 30th. I know that it may change to be later but for the purpose of this thread, i'll just keep it at 7:00 am. - On...

Hello. Kind of a weird question but does USAFA care on I-day if the security clearance forms are printed double sided or single sided? I ask because I had to fill out a longer form once for work and double sided it and the machine was not able to read it. Thank you

Has anyone from 2020 received their squadron and those specifics? On my portal, it is the last item (everything else is completed) and it says that it will be available in mid June.

Hello. I have a quick question regarding scholarships to the Academy. I know the Academy is tuition free and has no room and board fees. Therefore, what would be some expenses that I would have to pay "out of pocket". (Books, uniforms, computer?) I am asking because I had received two...

Is it worth sending updated SAT scores to USAFA once you have already been offered an appointment and have accepted it? I took the new SAT to see how I did and did much better than before but I did not have these scores before USAFA offered me my appointment. Does USAFA use these scores for...

Hello. Quick question. I am 2020 appointee. I just have a quick question regarding watches during BCT and during the academic year. I have this older watch that I am going to wear during BCT. Is there a high chance that it could break during BCT? Should I bring a spare or not? Are watches...

Hello. I have a quick question about running shoes during BCT. I know on the first day you show up with normal shoes but should I buy actual cross country running shoes or will I not be able to wear them at all during BCT? I know you get issued running shoes but when you run during BCT, do you...

Is there a concert band at USAFA? I know that they have a Drum and Bugle Corp but I was not able to find out if they have a concert band for 100%. I've seen some Facebook posts on the USAFA concert band but I wasn't able to tell if it was the Academy with current cadets or with officers already...

I know part of the fun on I Day is getting yelled at but is there some common knowledge that should be known before then? I've seen videos where they ask the 7 basic commands and stuff like that. Thanks

Do we need a valid US passport on I day? I have one that expired about 3 years ago but I'm not sure if on I-day it needs to be valid. I don't think it needs to be but just checking

Is it worth joining the Association of Graduates? No one in my family has been in USAFA and I will be the first one there. Is it good from a parents view? I know many people here are probably in the Association so looking for some opinions. Thank you http://www.usafa.org/appointee

Does USAFA send some nice certificate that you were offered an appointment? I got an AROTC scholarship and they sent it in a really nice leather thing. Just wondering. Thanks

This question is pretty obscure. Cannot remember where I saw this info or heard it but thought I'd give a question here. I'm a USAFA Appointee and somewhere ( can't remember where ) it said to attach this to an e-mail that had to be sent : FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) "This e-mail contains...

Any cool videos on youtube for USAF tributes? I've seen some before on here for Navy but not Air Force. Thanks

Does choosing a major greatly affect or limit your job after the Academy? Just before you pounce on this and say, you should already know this, my major and job after the Academy match up but a friend of mine would like to know and I was not in this situation. Thank you

Hey everyone. Quick question. I know some people say not to buy boots before BCT because they are relatively easy to break in but I thought I'd buy some anyway and get used to them. I bought Belleville 690's. Is it recommended to run in these boots to break them in? During school I have an hour...
