Mid-June is my understandingDo we have any idea when squadron assignments are coming out?
Nothing yet. I'll ask DS to check again later this evening.Can confirm according to a guy who works on the assignments it is June 15
Just checked... still nothing. The business day ends at 1600 at USAFA, so I think we can safely say it won't happen today.Nothing yet. I'll ask DS to check again later this evening.
Would you know if these are still valid?I just checked the BCT squadron assignment thread from last year. Basic squadron assignments were posted on the 17th of June for a 30 June I-Day.
So, if the Academy follows suit this year, I would expect you may hear today.
Go Hellcats!
That's cool. Thanks for the information.From comparing this to our local parent guide and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Air_Force_Academy_Cadet_Insignia, the Cadet Squadron 39 name has been changed to the Jedi Nights (as indicated by Capri20, but I did not notice any other changes).
Just a heads up to the incoming class, the cadre receives the list of names in their squadrons. Some will immediately begin "researching" their basics on Google, Facebook, etc.
Just fair warning about your social media presence.
I walked my DS through a Facebook review a few weeks ago in preparation for this. If one goes into their profile, there is a "View as..." option you can use to see what the public view of the profile would be. We made sure that none of his timeline or profile is visible to the public (good option for everyone, not just cadets) and then applied the "coffee shop" rule to his friends list (Would I go to coffee shop with this person? If not, then delete the person from the friends list).
A google search of my DS's name was fun, but we knew that there was little chance of altering the data available at this point in time.
You can also, as an extra layer of protection, make it to where only you can see your friends list. I saw your post and was fixing to apply the coffee shop rule to my Facebook and noticed that I can keep everyone, including friends, from viewing my friends list. It was much easier than the coffee shop rule IMHO.I walked my DS through a Facebook review a few weeks ago in preparation for this.
