VERY wise words here by Christcorp. Thank you.

Parent of a home-schooler here, now C4C cadet at the Academy. You can PM me with questions, too. Many things I would have suggested have already been suggested above.

There is no BFE. If you get an offer of appointment and you accept the appointment, then a whole new big beautiful checklist will appear on your portal. This takes the place of the low tech BFE.

@peppypea I just stopped by to say "hi". I thought of you and your son today and I wish you the best of success on his second attempt.

You cannot always trust even your close friends. I was posting details about BCT to a private blog with a very short list of readers. However, even among my short list of trusted individuals, I discovered that some of the photos have been shared with outsiders. It was a case where a parent felt...

Our DS is an appointee entering the class of 2022 next week. No dual enrollment, but we did four "dual credit" courses through a partnership between The Potter's School and Belhaven. No CLEP tests, but he did take four AP exams. Got 5s on two of them, and still waiting for scores on the other...

This thread is to keep track of which appointees are in which squadrons this BCT of summer 2018 so that we can connect with one another.

Wow, @zychcowski and @weizguyz ! Congratulations to both of you. Just goes to prove, never say never.

Another suggestion is the Junior Military Colleges such as Marion Military Institute and New Mexico Military Institute. Taking one year of service academy prep, after your senior year in high school, at a Junior Military College will not only enable you to demonstrate your readiness for college...

Just an FYI. I don't know if it is okay to advertise a book, but we often look to books for information and sometimes there is a really good one that I have to mention because it is so helpful. I also always search through Amazon to find books on any subject we need, and have found some very...

We were very surprised by the lack of thoroughness of the DoDMerb exam. If you think you have a mystery condition that has not been hitherto diagnosed, it would be very surprising if it was uncovered by this exam. They didn't even do lab work. You might find out something you didn't know about...

The appointee packet indicates sage green. The uniform change is not authorized until October 1 of this year. The uniform change will be phased in over 2-1/2 years. So, from what I am hearing on other parent groups, it is likely that ABUs (therefore, sage green boots) will be grandfathered in...

At the checkout line last week, after picking up a cake that said "Best Wishes, Cadet ____, Class of '22". So the young male cashier said "class of '22? Isn't it a little early?" And I said "No, he is appointed to the United States Air Force academy as a member of the class of '22. He goes...

Great - that's even better than I thought!

Yes, over Saturday and Sunday night.

@CAC I recommend you look in the "Service Academy Prep Schools" forum for more information on the six prep school options before you. Best wishes and congratulations!!

No, @Yassim95. There are two exams - the official AP exam of the College Board which is going to be the morning of May 15th and for which you would already be registered at your high school. The other exam is the placement exam for USAFA which is in three parts and administered online. The AP...

Thank you!

Is there a minimum number of years you have to be an airman to go for the LEAD program?
