    I purchased mine through our parents' organization and used a code to be able to purchase tickets in our designated section but they were $25 apiece!

    Boots for bct?

    I placed an order for a pair of Bellville 690's from a company called Chewbacca. Ordered them on a Monday and they arrived by Friday. I paid for "expedited shipping" and they ended up arriving in 4 days but were actually shipped "ground service" UPS. The shoes were dropped shipped from the...

    Ask Us (current cadets) Anything

    Two questions please... Is it OK to bring an electric toothbrush on I-day or will it get confiscated? Should my DS pack a regular toothbrush as a backup? He'll probably get yelled at for bringing both but is electric acceptable? Also, at a meeting yesterday for Class of 2020 appointees, a...

    Boy Scouts VS Civil Air Patrol?

    I'm just gonna throw in my two cents... First off, it's great that you already have a goal in mind at 13 and have a passion to reach that goal. Yes, becoming an Eagle Scout will help (it certainly won't hurt!). My son joined scouting at 15 as a freshman in high school with the end goal that...

    Twelve year old wants to go to the USAFA

    In addition to Civil Air Patrol, look into the Girl Scouts' equivalent of becoming an Eagle Scout. My son joined scouting at a freshman in high school with the goal of becoming an Eagle Scout because we knew it would give him an edge and show leadership responsibilities. They give the same...

    class of 2020 - bringing or not bringing boots?

    After my DS originally rejected the idea saying he didn't want any because he had "nothing to wear" with them, he has now changed his mind and has decided he wants a pair to train in, so yes, he will be taking a pair. :rolleyes:

    Medications during BCT Class of 2020

    I saw that info as well on page 13 and figured my DS would not be able to use his prescription acne medication until after BCT. I hope that's not the case.

    2020 Appointments

    My son has the same BGO and I agree whole heartedly that he is fantastic! My son had his heart set on attending the USAFA and received an appt. but I believe his extremely positive experience dealing with his BGO has swayed him towards the Naval Academy (received a nom from his MOC, but still...

    Parental Consent

    I'm not sure how big of a city you live in but try calling the local bar association or Young Lawyer's Assoc and inquire about pro bono services. Seeing how you are a student with no income, chances are you would fall within the income guidelines.

    Any advice?

    KS98 - if you haven't already looked into this, and if the deadline hasn't already passed, check with your local American Legion office and apply to attend Boys State this summer. There's a box for attendees to check this off on the USAFA application and every little bit helps.
