    USAFA 4th Class Cadet Willing to Answer Questions

    BCT will be tough at times no matter who you are. Don't worry about finding out everything you can about it, just buy into it and experience it for what it is.

    Headphones

    Yeah don't buy beats or bose, and don't buy wireless headphones. The Bluetooth standard is not capable of bandwidths that will make your music not sound like crap. Decent cabled headphones will have a sturdy cable that won't break anyway. Headphones that have batteries for active noise...

    Soccer Tryouts

    I don't know about other teams, but the USNA swim coach said that they typically take 1 walk-on per year (with a total team size of about 40, which I think is probably pretty close to a soccer team as well).

    Combat Weapons Team

    Is it hard to join the team or would I be able to walk on? I have a decent amount of experience with shooting but not a whole lot. Also, does it count as an intramural?

    Complete but Disqualified

    Failure of just one event on the CFA can mean a fail for the whole test, no matter what the other scores are. Usually USAFA offers a single retake opportunity for candidates who fail the CFA the first time. I do think it's odd that your son was not offered a retake if it was his first try. Maybe...

    To early to give up ?

    Actually, on the note of deposits... As I understand it, some civilian colleges may revoke an offer of admission if they learn that you have payed a deposit to another college. I have paid a deposit to my main plan B college to reserve my spot and so I could fill out a housing application...

    Appointments Left?

    Well duh, I know that lol. But all appointments are charged to a nomination source. Only one appointment from MO has been posted here and it was a senatorial nom.

    Resume ?

    I believe this is referring to the candidate activities record (CAR). They should have everything that would be on a resume already through that form.

    "Complete but Medically Disqualified"

    The dodmerb portal will say "pending waiver review" under each academy that requested a waiver. You have not been denied/granted a waiver until they post a message to your portal that says so.

    Appointments Left?

    Do MOCs usually notify candidates from their slate if they have not been selected? I'm completely in the dark right now as only one person from Missouri has posted an appointment on the forums but it was senatorial.

    medical waiver

    I am not giving medical advice here, but it may be extremely helpful to see a specialist about this issue to provide the waiver authority with more information. When you are being considered for a waiver, a doctor in the relevant service will personally review your file. They will consider...

    Medical Status Changed

    For me, it was about 20 days from the time that DoDMERB DQed me to the time that USAFA granted the waiver. This did include some emailing between me and the waiver reviewer for clarification about something, so it's probably possible to get one processed even faster. However, all of the other...

    Is DoDMERB website down?

    dodmerb.tricare.osd.mil always gives the warning about an insecure SSL certificate, even when the site is fully operational. In most browsers, there is an option to click "continue anyway" but ever since about a week ago the website has still been returning a 404 error. I believe there is a way...
