thanks, my DS, a soon to be C1C was assigned to work it this summer, my husband and I are trying to plan a visit to COS as DS won't be coming home this summer - he is going to take a class. back in 2010 when my son attended summer seminar it was 3 shorter sessions.

What are the dates for the 3 sessions of this years 2014 summer seminar at USAFA?

i understand the process is even more competitive this year but ds recieved his LOA last year at the end of October. He was on the first part of the list that was compiled - he had an early LOA. The best and brightest candidates will be recruited by other schools so i still think the AF will...

since you are a trombone player you would have to switch to a different instrument in drum and bugle. No trombones in it. ds is in cadet show choir which has a band. he is playing trombone for most numbers and is performing (singing/dancing) in a few others. Cadet Show Choir is considered a...

We asked this specific questions at a visit in january and were told double majors in similar areas like physics and math are possible but doing a double major in history and physics is virtually impossible due to required courses and academic load.

ds is at BCT right now. he did one sport - swimming but did it well in the winter on Varsity and year round on a club team where he would go to practices 2 - 3 times a week so he could work it around his school work, boy scouts and drama club (on the backstage/ tech crew). you sound like you...

ds says " the food is good but eating it sucks ". Hopefully cadre are giving them a few 'viking minutes'. also said after a specific 'beat' session his arms were sore so eating was painful. I did tell him to do more pushups when he was training prior to i day.....:biggrin:

Does the cadre read the Basic cadet mail? several parents on another forum have posed this question and no one seems to know the answer. kids are asking parents not to put certain things on their letters like smiley faces; :eek: just wondering if anyone here can clarify. thanks.

What hall are the basics sleeping in during BCT? is it the same hall they will be in for their academic squadron and the same room? also, how are the squadrons arranged in the dormitory halls during the academic year? ie: is sqdrn 1 in vanderburg and the last squadron in sijan?

Get your Eagle in scouting!

Lauren_44: why don't you contact the academy so you know for sure what you need to do. The parent club liason Barbara Guttierrez was extremely helpful about a few very specific quesitons i had and she responded quickly. Being a woman you might feel more comfortable talking to her...

great question falcon family - my ds was looking at it thinking it would be perfect as well for copies of the forms etc... but afraid it would bring unwanted attention. he also has an eagle scout binder that has the eagle scout symbol in silver - would that be considered more showy/arrogant?

we obtained a certified, raised seal copy of ds birth certificate for him to bring with him on the advice of local parent club president. keeping original at home. my husband was able to get it the same day at the town clerks office for a small fee. same parent club president indicated you...

i believe the local parents groups can purchase the tickets - group sales in July. we received an email a few weeks ago with info on group sales and individual tickets asking if the group wanted to purchase a block of tickets together. some one with more experience can confirm this probably...

you will notice i said "confirm" - the prearrangement was on the schools part. i agree the honor is in the appointment and opportunity to serve. thank you for your input.

update we have received phone calls from involved parties including the ALO today taking ownership for their part in what happened and apologizing to our ds. an alternative solution has been proposed. thank you all for your comments - i realize some of you may not have understood how it felt...

unlike many others; ds will be reporting for i-day prior to his graduation. there was an assurance and an expectation that the school GAVE TO US; we did not seek out the recognition - they told us and explained in detail what they were going to do. i only confirmed before i told the family to...

Thank you christcorp for the honest appraisal; i did not want to contact the ALO before knowing parameters. we trusted but failed to verify.....
