Well I'd like get my Master's in Electrical Engineering from a decent graduate program (Stanford, Caltech, Berkely, Georgia Tech, MIT). I'd like to know if the Air Force will pay for me to get my degree in 2 years immediately after finishing my bachelors (sort of how AFIT works). If not, would...

What sort of opportunities are there for graduate studies at a civilian university immediately after commissioning? I asked my Detachment advisor about this, and he only knew of AFIT. From doing some research online it seems USAFA cadets have a scholar's program or can be sponsored by their...

My heart almost stopped when I saw a TWE from USCGA in the mail today. But........... It's a conditional acceptance! This is too cool to be true!:biggrin:

Received a wavier from USAFA, still waiting on USCGA and USNA. Should find out in the next three weeks. :)

No, the letter was mailed out yesterday according to DoDMERB. University of Michigan and Purdue are my top two choices, with RPI as a backup.

Just checked DoDMERB today and found out I received a AFROTC scholarship! I'm pretty pumped, even though my first choice is to attend the Academy.

I had my application packet delivered on the 1st of February as well and it just showed up yesterday. So it shouldn't be too long now before your status updates.

How strong of a runner do you need to be to compete in intramural cross country? If you want to do a club sport, can you just sign up or are there tryouts? The FalconGroundSpeed web site did not list any requirements to join the tri team.

What happens if you do not play any of the intramurals offered and cannot make the varsity team? I have played baseball throughout all of HS, and while certainly one of the better players on my team, I am not Division I material (Division III at USCGA is a possibility). I am not really...

Can you choose to play a club sport instead of an intramural or a collegiate sport for your required athletics? I know that it is allowed at USCGA, but I haven't been able to find anything definite regarding sports participation at USAFA.

What happens if you take the CFA at busy track and there are other people running? Does the proctor have to clear the track of everyone in order for you take take the test? Otherwise it is conceivable that you just might use one of the other people running to pace youself.

You should really treat the average CFA scores as the minimum required. I haven't heard of USAFA publishing any cut off limit though.

Yesterday I received a phone call from my congressman's office (Gary Peters) awarding me a nomination to USAFA! :)

It's never too early to get started! You may even want to call your nomination sources to find out who they require recommendations from, so you can start building a rapport with those teachers.

Although you may get some extra attention at first, the ability to achieve your maximum potential in PT should far outweigh any fear of being yelled at by the cadre. If you read the APFT Administration Instructions, there is no mention of the type of shoe that must be worn, if any at all. Go...

Make sure you're thoroughly hydrated and have enough energy twenty four hours in advance. I failed to hydrate properly and completely burned out on the run the first time. Also, this is kinda saying what Finest already did, but absolutely do not attempt to run positive splits. Almost every...

Try the one hundred pushups program (onehundredpushups). It's a six week program, although from my experience it takes closer to twelve. Good Luck!

Has anyone from Michigan heard back from either of their main nomination sources (Senator/Congressman)? All of the nomination caseworkers I spoke to said that notification was supposed to be sent out before Christmas, but I have yet to hear anything.
