    USAFA for Cyber Defense Officer?

    USAFA is an oustanding place for this. Join the cyberwarfare team there. If your high school has chinese, take it; chinese in that career field will take you far. Based on the classes you have already taken, you will be ahead of the power curve.

    AFSC Question

    Yes, fencersmother misunderstood what we are talking about. If you are gung ho about being a CRO, attend selection junior year. If you are not picked up, you can still put in your preferences for other AFSCs, including pilot. If you are picked up, rock on - your senior year is now in fact very...

    AFSC Question

    As someone who graduated from USAFA and is currently stationed at a battlefield airman squadron, I can promise that having a very relaxing and enjoyable senior year - however you define that - should be the goal of everyone who attends the academy. fencersmother misunderstood what I said. If...

    AFSC Question

    If you are considering CRO, that needs to be your priority, and aviation needs to be your backup. Look up some pararescue class graduation videos on youtube for a sense of how difficult that career field is, and therefore how hard the selection for it will be. The Academy however has the best...

    ^ yeah very different. One thing I would add is everything changes junior year when you get a car. Free time is golden. I had weekends where me and my buds would go out and come back way later than we expected, way less sober than we expected (obviously senior year), and I had weekends where I...

    Freshman year you will probably be taking around 5 classes, all of which will be introductory core classes (physics, chemistry, intro to engineering, foreign language, history, etc). You will have the opportunity to "validate" (test out) for some of those classes. Some AP classes will count as...

    Can c4c go overseas for spring break

    Yes. If you are going to somewhere like Saudi Arabia, it will be annoying, but you can do it.

    I mean there's the typical response: get straight A's, be a leader in extracurricular activities and be in good shape. If you follow those three rules you have a very good chance of being accepted; it's honestly that simple based on the high school experiences of most of my friends from the...

    I do not know how much you know about the CRO AFSC, but your major would be irrelevant to whether or not you were accepted for CRO. You would need to attend a week long selection held by pararescue squadrons, where they would assess your leadership and physical aptitude. This selection is...

    Ok so several things here. If you know you are an academic stud, go all out and pick something like aeronautical engineering, minor in a foreign language, and do well. Just know that if that is the route you take, you are not going to have much of a life. I had several friends that graduated in...

    In high school, I would have focused on sports such as wrestling, track, and swimming. All of those would put you in great physical shape for the academy. Your workouts in high school should focus on repeats of 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile and 1 mile distances, working to be quicker and quicker. They...

    ALO is non-rated, and you have to go through a week long selection. Not everyone that requested pilot received a pilot slot from my class. There was actually a lot of contention about that, because we got a lot less slots than previous classes. The AFSC selection process now works off...

    I enjoyed it. I came for the challenge, stayed for the people. Don't get me wrong though, there is a lot of stuff there that could be done better. My overall take on it is that if you show up with a humble attitude wanting to become a better person, there are a myriad of opportunities to do so...
