    Current State of the Academy

    Well said… MG Moga had the right approach in my opinion. I would love to see him return as the Superintendent!

    Rated positions

    Thanks - That’s the chart for pilots. I’m really looking for the other 3 rated positions.

    Rated positions

    Does anyone have data regarding selection (job drops) for the different rated positions such as Pilot, CSO, ABM, and RPA. Pilot is commonly referenced, but what about the others?

    2024 Job Drops?

    Can anyone help clarify or verify what I heard from my DS? I understand from my C2C at USAFA that there is a new wrinkle (in the last year or two) in the way jobs are selected. He explained that class rank 1-100 gets jobs first, then 300-400, followed by 600-700, and then 101-299, 401-599...

    Form 341

    A Doolie will not get booted due to 341’s written by a ‘23 Cadet. It takes quite a bit and would involve the active duty officer and/or NCO. Nothing to worry about at this point. Best advice is to do what he’s told, hold his tongue, and work Hard through the next 4 1/2 weeks.

    [OCS] Looking for career advisement

    Army OCS grad here. 18 series prior to OCS, and I instructed ROTC at the end of my career. Here’s my advice for OP... Until you are self disciplined with your PT you may as well forget about OCS or 18A, end of discussion on that. OCS slots ar competitive and just because you have a degree...

    R-Day blood test?

    I guess... The main point is that everyone will have a blood test that is not optional (at all academies).

    R-Day blood test?

    If he/she is Class of ‘23 it would be natural to know it having gone through it 2 years ago.

    What can I bring to I-Day

    That’s funny because we spotted her in the Webguy photos. Lucky for her there was another Cadet that looks like a football player helping her with the luggage.

    One-sided story or was it true? Fixed?

    Three officers walk into a bar, a West Point grad, ROTC grad, and OCS grad... If you are considering service in our great military it’s a guarantee that you will get perspective from a broad range of people. This is what makes our country great. Opinions are shared freely! Anyone that has...

    Financial Advice For a New 2nd Lt / Ensign

    Ok, I’m done with the little digs here and there. Last little bit of advise I received as a junior NCO a few years before OCS... If you are very good at managing your finances you should always take the full advance pay with every PCS move. Take advantage of the interest free advance of your...

    Financial Advice For a New 2nd Lt / Ensign

    BTW - lounges at the airport are great! The best ones are the USO’s with free food, drinks, wi-fi, computers, recliners, a place to store your bags, and people that always have your back. Ever wonder how American Express can afford to have lounges at airports? The money came from somewhere.

    Financial Advice For a New 2nd Lt / Ensign

    Wow, opened the hornets nest! I can just speak from experience. The military pays very well. A debit card (I have USAA and a local Credit Union) will do everything a credit card will do. The caveat is that you need to have money in the account. FICO score means nothing when you have saved...

    Financial Advice For a New 2nd Lt / Ensign

    Completely disagree. Credit cards are not necessary And get too many people in trouble. No credit card necessary. Pay your bills on time... rent, phone, electric. Save money for what you want to include 15-20% down on your first home. As an officer you can easily find a bank/credit union...
