Stop Assaults on Military Campuses (NYT) Latest round of attention on sexual assault and discrimination.

I thought I'd follow up with a post elsewhere on the forums. Right now I'm on terminal leave (for the next week) and officially on the job market. When I graduated from USAFA, the Air Force promised to hold my pilot slot while I went to get a PhD at the RAND Corporation for three years. At the...

Mods, I recommend making this a sticky. Any candidate who desires to be in a rated position (pilot, nav, etc.), this is a must read. The DoDMERB color vision standards use the PIP test (color plates) to determine color vision. 1) If you fail these and your goal is pilot, do NOT go to...

We had a KC-135 go down in Kyrgyzstan today. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/05/03/world/asia/kyrgyzstan-us-aircraft-missing/index.html The crew was from Fairchild and the aircraft from McDonnell. This one hit home to me. One of my best friends from USAFA brought that plane to Kyrgyzstan two...

Made the NYT today. Reminds me of some rejection conversations on the USNA side of the forums. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/09/opinion/nocera-the-military-prep-school-scam.html?ref=opinion

http://occupylosangeles.org/?q=node/1938 What a load of crap....got to love idiot protesters. Just got an e-mail from RAND as they're starting the lock down since they've become aware of the event. I have to get work done, so I'll get the chance to laugh out the window as these clowns do their...

This just angers me. A) We do not need to have our own senior politicians in Libya. Can you imagine if something happened to him? Talk about being a sensationalist. B) We don't need to escalate a THIRD SIMULTANEOUS war in that region.... C) Our AC-130s and A-10s aren't there because...

I just chatted with a friend who is visiting me this week. She is working in admissions at USAFA right now before her next assignment. Some insights for many of you. Warning: if you're still waiting, this might not sound pleasant. She said they have sent ALL of their appointments out...

Everyone should read this. Another good article on internet anonymity. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/20/opinion/20dowd.html?src=twrhp

I hear a version of this question often so I think I'll give an answer. Usually the first question is: what major should I be to get pilot? Answer: Any. Other career fields: check for a degree requirement (usually scientists and acquisitions/contracting). If none, then ANY. Next...
