Hey everybody, I was USAFA c/o 2016 (KLEPTO lol). I always wanted to go to the AF/USAFA, but when I got there it wasn't what I expected, even with all the research and "preparation" I had done (CAP, forums, books, etc.). I did two years, and when commitment came, I realized I wasn't 100%...

Today, my CAP squadron was assisting the United States Air Force Band at their concert and Constitution Hall. I was supposed to guard the control center. The squadron commander said he would send someone to take my place halfway through the show so I could see some of the concert. The show was...

I'd just like to let the forum know that I won my first wrestling match yesterday! Just had to tell someone!

My friend's father said the CIA usually goes to Service Academies to recruit. How true is this and, WHEN I get in ( I was going to put IF, but that's just one of my small ways of staying positive), what are the chances of me ending up more like James Bond than Maverick ( Using both of those...

I'm on the wrestling team at my school, and they just recently made it a rule that EVERYONE has to shower IMMEDIATELY after practice. No exceptions. Now, I take a shower as soon as I get home anyway, but they said I still had to take one at school. I didn't exactly WANT to take a shower with...

Even though I may not get in, I've been trying to live following the Academy's honor code since I discovered it a few years ago. I was wondering if this scenario would be considered "cheating". There was a chinese test today, and I didn't study because I didn't have enough time, and I put...

This is a quote a got from another website, I was just wondering how much truth there was to it: "Ok, if you want to fly jets do the navy. they have way more fighters then the air force. the AF is mainly cargo and transport. In the Af only 4% of the personel are pilots. And only 1% of that 4%...

What would be some good fallback schools to apply for if I don't get into USAFA the first time around?

I was just wondering how much a criminal record would damage your chances of getting into USAFA? I don't have one, I was just wondering how much it would hurt your chances.

Now, I don't think you're supposed to get much sleep during BCT, but is there any way to get used to the lack of sleep? I have a summer job, and I don't get to sleep until around 12, but I still have to get up at 6 or so to go to work. I've never been but from what I've heard this seems like...

I have my ALO's contact information (Thanks Flieger ;)), but I'm not sure exactly what to say to him. I think I should just introduce myself, but I thought this first impression was too important to just go into without making sure. What I'm trying to say is, what should I put in my first E-mail...

I was just wondering what a USAFA acceptance letter would look like compared to a rejection letter. Is the acceptance letter actually a letter or is it a sort of package?

What is BCT? I mean, i know that it stands for basic cadet training ( I think...... ) but what exactly do you do there? How long is it?

I'm about to start my sophmore year in high school in DC and I'm trying to go to USAFA. I found this site by googling service acadamies, and this was the first or second result.

I just finished my first year of high school and I've wanted to be a fighter pilot since the first grade. While I was researching that years ago, I stumbled upon USAFA, and I've wanted to go ever since. I was recently speaking with an academy cadet, and he told me that even if you get into...
