    Dating foreign nationals

    Additional info about marriage: Give your security office at least 6 months notice before you plan to marry. If you fail to report any foreign contacts that can severely jeopardize your clearance.

    Intelligence Officer, Air Force or Army

    I commissioned about 2 months and I'm currently on track to start Intelligence Officer School next month. If you're curious about majors, I don't think it will make a difference in the selection process. Most of my USAFA peers (~50 grads) are Political Science or Geospatial Science majors. I...

    Quiting by choice or by force?

    Bottom line up front (BLUF): You won't get kicked out if you "fail" those two tests on the 2nd day. You will be expected to improve, and then pass the tests at the end of BCT. This is not difficult if you take advantage of the PT presented to you. Honestly, you have enough time to get back in...

    That first BCT haircut -- ?

    There is absolutely zero need to tip any of the barbers. Even though I usually got a haircut off-base, the barber service was still deducted from my pay.

    BCT - Advice from current Cadets/recent Grads

    Take advantage of the self-paced runs. Thanks to those I improved significantly in my 1.5 mile time.

    Intelligence Slot??

    I was one of those 51 slots. It's a pretty popular choice, and I believe it's somewhat competitive. Looking at the list of selectees, I can identify many high caliber cadets. I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to get Intel if you were an above average cadet. Also, having foreign...

    More Sadness at USAFA

    Probably due to speculation and spreading rumors.

    The tours

    Honestly, I don't know. They haven't told me yet. I could be working on the 13th, 17th, 20th, or 27th.

    The tours

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. I signed up to lead a tour later this month, so it's good to know what to expect.

    Do I still have a chance?

    USAFA also recalculates your GPA based on the rigor of your courses and your high school's profile.

    USAFA EMTs

    Are you referring to managers for sports teams?

    Foreign Language Questions

    I feel that knowing a foreign language (Russian) has opened and will continue to open doors for me down the road. I spent a semester abroad in the Republic of Georgia, for example. Additionally, the Air Force has a program known as LEAP (Language Enabled Airman Program). They select service...

    Speed Reading

    Do not take that class. It really was a waste of my time, and that time could have been used doing something more productive.

    Exercise

    There is time. You just can't be lazy. Once you make working out part of your regime, you feel out of place if you skip out on your exercise.

    Jump off Diving Board in BCT

    I'd like to offer my experiences with aquatics at USAFA to future cadets and current underclassmen. I knew from the get-go that I could not swim and was going to be placed in Basic Swimming. We were all required to do a diagnostic 250m regardless. I remember that I could not swim 10m without...

    Exercise

    It's not difficult to stay in shape at all, and it's expected of you. It's quite possible to work out in the mornings around 0530, but I prefer going to the gym after class. If you don't have a training session (mandatory PT) that day, then you can go to the gym with ease.

    Online Classes @ USAFA

    You're allowed to. I doubt that they will be able to appear on your USAFA transcript though.

    USAFA or Civilian?

    You need to evaluate why you want to go to a "military school." It's not just a 4 year college, you are expected to serve for a minimum of 5 years in the military after graduation. Your academics are great, and if you improve that ACT to a 35, will be outstanding. I don't see how you can focus...

    2015 Rated slots

    There is a chart which lists AFSCs on one axis and academic majors on the other which was briefed to us by the Dean and personnel office. Each academic major had a blank, a M, or a D for each AFSC. Blank = Not qualified (Weather and Engineers require special degrees) M = Minimally qualified D...
