    DMV residencency issue

    I just got my Colorado license last week, I brought a copy of my original orders telling me to report to I-Day, a piece of mail that has my address without my PO Box(they won't accept PO box for whatever reason) and my Colorado Resident fishing license, squadron AMT's can also provide a "proof...

    Falcon Foundation Scholarship Recipient

    I was in the same boat my senior year of HS, had to decide between full ride AFROTC or FF, I ended up taking my FF and have zero regrets. To hit the questions 1 by 1: 1. It is, everyone from my prep school(MMI) with FF scholarship got an appointment, you have to do something pretty messed up...

    BCT Cadre for 2027

    There's a decent chance of some rather intense PT upon returning to Jacks which could have some not-fun results if you gorged out at Rodeo.

    USAFA "Home of Record" significance?

    I was in a pretty similar situation coming into the Academy, from the time I started my first application to the time I got to basic, I had lived in 4 states(military brat + prep year). The information I put in my appointee information and such was the location I would be leaving for basic from...

    Boot Recommendations?

    I wore Garmont T-8's for my pretty much my whole prep-year, and this year up to this point. They're a good middle ground between the light-weight nature of the Nike's and the durability of the Rocky's. I had a pair of Nike's but they got torn up pretty quick.

    Watch

    Watches will be taken regardless, at least for 2026. After basic I'd say at least half of cadets end up with either an apple watch or garmin watch.

    Falcon Foundation Scholarship Question

    I'm a current FFS at MMI in Alabama, we also had a 100% acceptance rate for our Falcons here. One major difference between NWP and MMI as others mentioned is that we are in college classes both semesters. USAFA laid out what classes we need to take. At MMI you are in a military school and wear a...

    Currently a sponsored prep student, we apply through our home state that we applied to the first time around. Many MoC have a shorter application if you're reapplying for a second year.

    AFROTC vs. West Point Appointment

    Another thing to consider about ROTC, specifically AFROTC is how limited the spots to commission are right now. Being on scholarship doesn't automatically give you a slot to Field Training, and the selection rate has been super low this year. If you end up not getting a spot to field training...

    Wait List

    Is it possible to receive an appointment to the Prep School after being placed on the waitlist, or does the waitlist mean you aren't getting a NAPS slot at all?
