Hi
I have a few simple questions that I still would like to know. I am still getting my head around the fact my DS is going to the USAFA in 5 months and 20 days.
1) When we went to the academy with our DS we noticed foot lockers in the cadet's rooms.
(a) Is this personal space for the cadet? Is it checked as part of room inspection? What kinds of things do the cadets keep in there?
2) I noticed the 1st year students running on tiles while keeping their right hand free to salute.
b) What happens when it is raining or snowing or icy? Do they still stay on the tiles? Do they still run? (I know most likely no running, but just asking)
3)When your cadet went to I day what did they take in their backpack? Did they take only clothes and a backpack they could just throw away?
c) Did they take something they regretted taking? or did they wish they had taken something else?
d) How many sets of clothes is enough?
4) Electric toothbrushes and electric razors, are they allowed from day 1? If so where do they put them to charge without getting in trouble for having them out in the room?
5) What is considered off limits for regular inspections (not if suspected of wrong doing)? I have heard they do not go through your bible if you bring one. Does the cadet have anything else that is considered private?
6) Classes...Are most classes in the morning? Then after lunch is set aside for military and sports?
7) How many classes will a 1st year cadet take each semester? How many units?
8) How does taking summer classes help? Will this lesson the number of classes taken during the next semester?
Regards
John
