in all honesty, if I could re-do basic training I would have brought a superman shirt or something ridiculous. Common knowledge is that you want to stay as hidden as possible during basic, but eventually the cadre will find you and they will make a fool of you. Sure you'll get beat extra hard...

So while filling out the form I found out that we were supposed to mail the form in by May 1st. It says on the directions not to bring the form in with me as a carry on during I-day. If that's so, how should I turn in the form? Appreciate the help

do i need to notify dodmerb of the positive tb shot or should i just wait till I-day to report it?

I went to the doctor to get my tb shot (required by the immunization form), and I was tested positive on the skin test. I went ahead and took an x-ray chest test to see if i had active tuberculosis, and I'm waiting on the results for that. Say worse comes to worse and I do have active tb, what...

Out of curiosity, is there a validation test for AP Physics C? I took Physics C: Mech and E&M. From the list of APs the academy recognizes and the scores they validate, it says that there is a validation test required you have to take in conjunction with what you got on the AP Exam. I didn't see...

You should take AP Physics C instead of B if your school offers it. It may be a bit more challenging, but if you do well on the AP test you could possibly validate out of the required physics course at westpoint.

I would say its 90% technique.

LOL!

I don't get how that works. Do the professors test you on concepts they have not taught?

Yeah that's it, the Scholars Program. I really hope to get into it. Hopefully I don't fall asleep during placement. (Happened to me during SS when we were doing briefings and during some of the classes).

I've heard that the academy places 'ahead' cadets into honors classes of the regular core curriculum? How does a cadet go about and being placed into these honors programs? Do my AP scores factor in the decision of which type of classes I can participate in. Also if you were put into an honors...

Oh well, graduating on stage would have been nice but I'd rather not miss a day of I-day. My new future is in the Air Force soon, so what's one day right?

so is it a good idea to try to learn some arabic before i get to the academy? (If i wanted to minor in arabic)

You guys are lucky. I too live in So. Cal, except I graduate on JUNE 24!!!! I don't even know what to do anymore. I definitely don't want to miss the first day of I-day but then I don't want to miss graduation.

hey ben do you happen to attend loyola high school?

I want to get a better idea of how the academics there are (in terms of engineering). Could current cadets please elaborate how the classes are. Is there a specific curriculum? How do professors grade? Do the professors teach with enthusiasm or do they just teach to teach the class? How's the...

Well i know for sure they start sending right after the deadline. I filled out the application 2 hrs before the deadline and then got my acceptance a couple days later.

Im going to do my best on the placement exam, but in worst case scenario i do bad and I get placed in Spanish (I hate spanish, I can't bring myself to learn it because it just doesn't interest me), is it possible to compromise and still take the language you want regardless?

I am planning to minor in arabic at the academy and i was just wondering.. how hard is the placement test? I really want to be able to learn arabic, and i really don't want the placement test holding me back. Is there even a way to prepare for it?

Q & A with Major General William T. Lord Question: Why should the US Air Force be tasked with this, instead of DISA or NSA, neither of which is tied to a specific branch of the military? Answer: Don't confuse the fact that we are standing up the Air Force Cyber Command to mean we are...
