    Finances

    I believe the higher amount in pay helped with the books, but really it isn't an increase for the books. It was just less deductions taken in December and January, with the increase coming from the per diem they get for being away from the Academy and supposedly buying their own meals.

    Hey People only one day...

    I want to leave tonight. That way I wouldn't have to work tomorrow. Oh well, one more drag-butt day here. Then off. YAY.

    Rental car for Parents Weekend

    Same here with the savings. We were going through Thrifty and got the same car for 1/2 of what we had booked months ago.

    USAFA Diversity Visit

    My daughter did a Diversity Program Visit last year. She's a 4th year now. She shadowed a cadet for the day, attended classes, talked to a few people I believe and spent the night. It was a nice insight to a "day in the life"...She really enjoyed it. Also, it was listed as a campus visit at...

    Printers for USAFA cadets

    On A-Day saw probably about 30 HP's going down the hallway. Walmart has the 3 in 1 for $49. For individual use they are probably fine. The black ink yields about 190 pages per cartridge, not sure about the color cartridge. Walmart usually always has the ink on hand. It's very common. If...

    2014 Computer Issue

    That was the way I was thinking of going, the 3 in 1. Is there a need for wireless, or would that be a waste?

    Legal Status of a 17 yr old cadet

    Since my BC is still of a minor age, I'm finding all of this very interesting. But in all honestly, my thought on it, is that because she has demonstrated the maturity level of accepting the responsibility of entering the Academy and therefore, becoming part of military service, I wouldn't care...

    I read that West Point grades BCT

    Thanks. I'd hate to have a tearful BC call saying "I failed BCT", they are sending me home.

    Legal Status of a 17 yr old cadet

    When my daughter accepted her appointment in January, I remember we sat down together and she filled out the paperwork and I believe I signed one paper and she signed the rest. Then we kissed them goodbye and mailed them off. I don't remember signing anything since and she won't be 18 until...

    I read that West Point grades BCT

    After going through all 5 1/2 weeks one could actually still fail and not become a cadet? That would really, how should I say it, SUCK.

    Aeronautical Engineering

    For a back up school, I would highly recommend Embry Riddle. There are two campuses. One in Prescott, AZ the other in Daytona Beach, FL. I believe the FL campus has ROTC programs, not sure about the AZ campus.

    Minor Shin Splints - What does that do for completing BCT

    His squad wasn't doing the first aid though, were they? That could account for the cruches. But I did get to thinking about it. The letter is 5 days old already, so maybe I need not worry. She's still there.
