wow....it seems like yesterday i was on this forum asking some stupid question about my application process.... i remember when i was so excited about USAFA i could barely handle it, and when i was so worried about what the admission panal thought of me i COULDN'T handle it...but through...

hello mikil and welcome to this site, though i am an appointee and not a cadet, i think i can tell you a bit about your chances. academically i think that you are strong. you have some good college courses in there and awesome grades. USAFA loves students who are inclined to math and science...

yes, i am getting pretty nervous myself too. i'm thinking less about soaring as a cadet in the not so near future and more on making sure i have everything for i-day and making it through 1st beast. but here is a suggestion i hear that will help us through beast and freshmen year and all the...

i read somewhere that we swear in either the 26 or 27 but the public swearing in is given by the commandant (or some other high up) on june 29...i'm still not sure if we swear in twice...

yup...practically the day i got offered the appointment. i accepted it before i even heard from USNA!

really? what are we gonna be called...worms?? haha, jk ;)

i got my kit about two weeks ago

usnadad, i am thinking of taking that route myself as well, but we will still have to see what the AF wants me to fly :) (hopefuly an f-22!)

what does she want to do in the AF?

yea man, congrats!!! were you hoping for an appointment to usafa? because if you were, i hear the prep school is a great way to get a leg up.

have you gotten an appointment yet badgert? or are you a junior?

hey everyone, i am so happy i went to orientation!!!! the base is so beautiful, and the cadet area is HUGE!! i didn't think it would be that big, but when i was walking it with hornetguy i was like "WOW!!". and by the way, hornetguy was really awesome- he showed me around and gave me a good...

thank you very much :)

Good! i know orientation really will help me with my many questions, probable misconceptions, and undiscovered facets of USAFA!

"boat of salt", very true hornetguy. and when i got to thinking about it, i remembered that the media is almost never "fair and balanced", and that reports usually side on one side. but you can't blame me for getting a little upset ;)

wow...i really hope that isn't the air force academy i am going to come June 25. I know that this and other scandals happened a few years ago, giving ample time to fix the faults but.....i am still afraid.

haha! i take that as a compliment nick4060!! and hornetguy is definitely right, there are a lot more pilot slots for USAFA than ROTC, relatively speaking of course.

yes, you definitely have a chance of being accepted. and i would double check your situation at VA tech, i dont think a college can "force" you to go, no matter how many papers you have signed. but i could be wrong...

mom3boys, i know i am only seventeen and haven't been through a fraction of what these other guys are saying, buuuut.....i have discovered that sometimes only your fellow comrades truly understand who you are and what you have really accomplished. i learned that through four years of football...

hey guys, i wish the best of luck to both of you. most of the appointments have been offered, yes, but the academy website says you will know of your status by "mid-may". by not receiving anything at this point it means at least that they haven't ruled you out yet! and about the VA tech- i would...
