If you want to give up leave to take a summer class in order to reduce the academic year load, it is based on a lottery system, so it's possible, but not guaranteed.

I think I might be one of the most qualified to answer a question about this topic... as I am a USAFA cadet in the class of 2015 who is cross-commissioning to the Army this year. The "one for one switch" has not been applicable since 2008 (see memo attached below) when they changed it to up to...

As I watched the video that Lfry94 posted of my class's inprocessing, I realized that many of the kids in that video are no longer at usafa. But that isn't necessarily because of how bad it is here. It's really not that bad, really! When you look at the bigger picture, it could be much much...

English: 28 Math: 31 Reading: 34 Science: 32 Don't worry too much about having less opportunities, the academy takes this into consideration, for instance, my school has about 110 kids in it, so we don't actually have any clubs, and limited sports, but taking leadership roles in a small...

Got my rejection from Sen. Klobuchar yesterday. They sure took their sweet time notifying us, I seem to remember being told we would hear in Jan., and it's March now... but I shouldn't complain because engineer's right, one is all it takes

Congrats everyone!, and way to represent the great state of MN:thumb: After a long discussion with my mom I am sending in my acceptance tomorrow... now just to convince her that I won't get hurt during track season

maximums for pilots are as follows: standing height of 6'7", and sitting of 40". For minimums, standing height of 5'4" and sitting of at least 34" (according to the 2010-2011 catalog) so DrSuess, you're fine, but I never even realized there was a minimum until I looked into USAFA and at 5'0"...

So I checked my status page this morning and on there it shows that I got a nomination from Sen. Franken, but I wasn't notified by his office at all, and I thought they tried to give them to kids who didn't get one from their rep., so basically just wondering if this happened to anyone else, and...

Yeah, for me I had an LOA in early Nov., a nom. in mid Nov. that showed up on the portal mid Dec., then both my status changed and BFE today:biggrin: I think they were backed up over the holidays, so stuff should start going through quicker now.

Congrats!! Hopefully she gets one to USAFA too. Those dang senators better get their lists out soon, they have a lot of kids waiting on them:biggrin: And you were close- I'm a little over an hour SE of roch.

Soo, say that I've never had swimming lessons, but can swim a little. Will it be okay, and I'll just have to take the twice as long basic class?

welcome, and I'm looking forward to hearing your advice:)

alright thanks! I'm a gymnast, so my anaerobic fitness is great, just aerobic is a little lacking...I checked out crossfit endurance, it looks pretty good, and I think I'm going to give it a shot. m man these forums are great; everyone is always so helpful and I'm very glad I joined:biggrin:

yep:) from congressman Walz in MN-01. what school do you go to? that's pretty cool both you and your friend got one

houston yeah, and guess what? they were even named after the same person:biggrin:

thanks Thanks all for the advice. I'm pretty much in the middle of nowhere, so there aren't any courts, pools or Y's, so the jump roping and stairs sound good:thumb:
